5270 or nothing. You are banned until we see that watch. TOTALLY JOKING! I am glad to see you back in the game. I wouldn't mind an Aquanaut chrono as I believe this is the 20 year anniversary but can they throw a Ceramic Bezel on there? I know it sounds crazy but Thierry has introduced some unexpected type pieces over the years 5235 & 5524

I keep trying to get out but they keep sucking me back in!!!!

Socal to az · 9 February 2017, 01:52 PM

5270 is on the radar. Just not yet. Have to wait a bit. But am really curious to see what's out in Basel. I'm hoping for more 42mm pieces.

Loving my 5905- but still contemplating selling to fund 5270 sooner or another car. Lol.

The journey is 3/4 the fun!

Patek is far too traditional to see ceramic or composites become part of their repertoire.
The Aquanaut’s bezel is also a bit too thin for it to not be a potential liability, in the event it takes a decent knock – the ROOs can get away with it, due to being thicker.

Can you let a guy dream? I know it is about a zero percent chance but would be cool to see.

Another Thierry stern special...

5905 with a light dial or RG. 5170 platinum and perhaps another (!) reworked dial. New 5270s. And a new nautilus model with complication...

Who are THEY?

topcat30093 · 9 February 2017, 08:41 PM

I would love to see a 37 - 39mm Calatrava with date using the 240 movement

I'll second the AQ chrono.

KarlS · 10 February 2017, 01:11 AM

Let me guess another blue dial ....5205 or 5170 ooops they did a blue 5205 LE already so 5170P

A 5905p salmon dial would be awesome

subtona · 10 February 2017, 01:23 AM

Looking forward to seeing the 5170P, though not so sure we will see it quite yet?

Also dreaming about a 5170A

Any aquanaut variations are welcome.

same here...P or A would be exciting

JorgeCCW · 10 February 2017, 02:31 AM

Maybe they surprise us and discontinue 5170 and replace it with a new chrono reference , since they just discontinues 5170G-010 or maybe they just replace that single variation of black dial and gold for Platinum and blue dial

ap1 · 10 February 2017, 05:26 AM

I'd kinda like to see some car incomings from you instead - we see plenty of watches

martinr · 10 February 2017, 06:03 AM

I think they're trying to come up with a dial for the 5170 that will actually sell. The 5170 movement will be around for a long time in my opinion.

Been calling for a sector dial for a long time. White Laceur Dial (cheaper than enamel and less brittle), Blued Hands and Numerals, and Platinum. Then I'll consider paying 81K.

They do not need to reinvent the wheel Reference 130 is a damn beauty!
(PJ please don't correct me as I know with the new movement the subdials cannot be centered

)

Jaeger kinda went that route

This is all I got for you for the time being. Maybe a new car in a few months. Going to hedge my bets by keeping an aye out for interesting pieces for my wrist in the meanwhile:

I think the case needs some attention. Something like a 5975 would be perfect.
