First I would like to thank Jacques Degreef otherwise I could not share those pics. It was the first time in my life I saw a Patek 10 days tourbillon. This was already a good feeling. I can't describe how it felt when I was allowed to 'play' with it between 10.00 and 11.30 this morning.

Those pics are the best I could do but believe me, this watch gives you shivers.

I could always sell my house and buy this watch but I have a strange feeling my girlfriend would not like the idea LOL
So I better stop dreaming. Such a piece will always be out of my league.
BUT, if you really like the looks and want something similar (without the 10 days power reserve and ofcourse without the tourbillon) you can always try the 5124.
At the fraction of the price you get a very good looking dress watch.

Beautiful!!!! Thanks for sharing.

Markg · 6 July 2008, 05:57 AM

how much are they?

Hamilton Carvalho · 6 July 2008, 06:14 AM

The Tourbillon model 5101P (correct me if the model is wrong) is about $375,000.00

The other model I don't know but, as usual, I'm sure it cost an arm and a leg also.

Yes they sell for an arm and a leg, would LOVE to own one someday. My goodness, Patek is just....

Again one of the few watches on leather straps I would ever own and wear.

the other (5124) is affordable. something like a SS daytona plus a SS submariner

I know, it still is expensive but I guess most forum members own one and probably several Rolexes (and other watches) so it might be accessible

Yeah your right- i was just having a joke. I really want a patek

( i sound like a child)

Hamilton Carvalho · 6 July 2008, 06:41 AM

Still a lot of green for the 5124.

BTW, this model is known as the NUll, it's a big watch, I think the length is about 51mm and the width is 29mm and it is pure Platinum (again correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not sure about the size). I guess most of the money goes for the case.

the 5124 measures 33.4 x 43 (lugs included) and is white gold (not platinum)
the 5101 measures 29.6 x 51.7 (lugs included) and this is indeed platinum

Hamilton Carvalho · 6 July 2008, 06:54 AM

Thanks for the correction.

I don't want to call you unknown, may I ask you your name?

I also saw one of these watches at an AD last week, in all its packaging.
The price was a staggering £177,000
Its not my cup of tea, but still a stunning look watch all the same.
Thanks for the great photos.

You can always call me Bruno :)

asadtiger · 6 July 2008, 07:06 PM

rectangle is the classiest :) couple that with a patek..very desirable :)

Jedi · 6 July 2008, 09:27 PM

The 5124 is about US23K last I checked...

Jedi · 6 July 2008, 09:29 PM

And thanks for the pics Bruno. I had one in my hands last year in Geneva at the Salon, and it was very difficult letting go of it. They had to pry it away from me

I walked out with a 5296 instead.

DSJ · 8 July 2008, 06:25 AM

Both are nice, and I'll likely never be rich enough to justify either, let alone the tourbillon.

simplicity · 8 July 2008, 07:41 AM

great watch and beautiful pics .thanks for sharing

Widows Son · 10 July 2008, 07:53 AM

Good grief!!! Those babies should be in a museum or something, or locked away in a time capsule.

fnnwizard · 10 July 2008, 08:02 AM

My father is in the arms and legs business.

A good non myo electric arm is about 13k, A top of the line Carbon fiber leg is 22k, so that watch is more than an arm and a leg.

Of course I wouldn't trade in my real arms and legs for that PP.

Awesome watch nonetheless
