Yikes, if so.

I see at least one "Patek by Thomas Kinkade" collab among that bunch...

More of the same hideous gaudy garbage that perpetuated last year’s W&W for Patek. Thierry Stern has lost the plot.

Not sure I understand exactly what these alleged watches are, but I don’t understand the sentiment. To me they look mostly pretty good. The date world timer is solid as is the dual time Aquanaut.

Of the 11 watches there, those 2 are certainly the least offensive; though neither is terribly novel nor creative, and I would be horrified if Patek of all brands screwed up a world timer. The problem lies primarily with the remaining 9.

I don’t care much for the purple ladies one. And 5159 with the ornate case is uninspiring but fits for the brand. Gem set Aquanaut is over the top but will sell well. Ellipse bracelet probably looks good in person. Others look like variations of existing models.

But that new Aquanaut dual time looks pretty awesome. Back to the original grenade dial and a strap without gap to the case and no date window. Very nice.

Just my two cents. Not that any will be available to view at any dealer anyhow.

Not even one is decent to me.

I don’t know what these represent either, but 1,2,4 and 6 are all hideous. I hope it’s just someone’s silly mock-up…

I can't tell wtf is going on here. Did Patek just decide to say "fvck it!" and throw a bunch of random pushers on a watch?

 

[Newcomer]

The occluded 12 feels like Thierry’s attempt to individually **** with me.

 

[Handcuffed]

i think the golden ellipse model is beautiful so I'm excited to see what this one looks like when officially released

don't find many of the others all that interesting. but then, i rarely find anything patek interesting.

Is that supposed to be a bell under the 12? I'm so confused.

Maybe one of the pushers is an alarm/timer setter a la Memovox? If you put that thing on your nightstand though, it's just going to scuttle off. The very desirable Patek "Cockroach".

Biggest hinderance to the brand is themselves.
