3970 of course, it's not even a match.
However, the platona is still a magnificent watch

Yes you did, and it's an excellent word.

Neither am I, but this ice blue and brown ceramic combination is marvelous.

This is a piece that I just need to see in person to get a real appreciation for it. I just have no need for the chrono function...but then again I have no need for a super complication on the PP...

Again as I stated for me this is my ultimate watch and favorite one I have ever owned--modern or vintage and any brand including Patek...Yes Patek! With that again have a great day all!

Quite an endorsement! I find it amusing that, as a tool, the platinum version is actually more practical then the SS "tool" versions!

Enjoy your favorite watch...

The Platona is gorgeous totally beautiful - if only the price was beautiful too ! Wonder what colour bezel the white gold ceramic daytona will have when it appears - the SS daytona ceramic ( if it comes ) will almost certainly have a black ceramic bezel - updated dials too will appear with coloured sub dial outer ring I guess ? Who knows how Rolex think.
