All posted Patek Philippe Reference Links - One Post
Hi everyone,As many know, trying to wade thru the Patek Reference numbers to get details or information to learn more, especially for a Patek Philippe 'newbie' can be daunting. To hopefully help Patek Philippe newbies (like myself) and oldies alike, I've taken all the threads that show a particular reference & provide the specs / details of that reference in the reference section & listed them all below in numeric order. If you'd like to see details & information on a specific reference, just click the reference number to launch the detailed post on that particular reference number. In a couple cases where there is more than one thread on that reference (or it had a new release due to Basel-releases) you'll see more than one link you can launch.This list will be added to as new Reference-detail threads are posted. I hope this helps you navigate more easily & enjoyably thru the world of Patek PhilippePS - stay tuned for another list by style.PATEK PHILIPPE REFERENCE

Watch Identification Help
I've been presented the opportunity to purchase this watch. I'm hoping it's a pre-1970 model, but can't seem to locate it in any of the reference catalogs. What's throwing me off is the lack of second markers on the dial. I've been provided the following information about its movement: 17 jewels, model #694A.Any help determining the model, year, and value (after repair, servicing, and addition of a new strap) would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.image.jpgFor a larger image . . . flickr/gp/rjfos/9vgM1Z

Problems with my new Speedy Pro
Hi Folks, I'm new to the forum and a new WIS so I figured I could ask you guys for advice. I purchased my first nice watch a little over 1 month ago as a present to myself for turning 40 and it was an Omega Speedmaster Pro. Up until a few days ago I've been thrilled with the watch...it keeps time to perfection and I have not been able to notice it losing or gaining even 1 second per day. However the chronograph stopped on me a couple times starting a few days ago. I had to reset it with several clicks of the buttons to get it working again. And now when I reset the Chronograph it unreliably resets in different places each time. This happens not only with the large second hand but also with the small minute counter on the right side of the dial. Sometimes they reset at the 1'clock position, sometimes the 11'oclock position...but never at 12'oclock where they are supposed to. I'm quite frustrated over this. I splurged on this watch and bought it brand new (I know I'm probably a

5960a on a rubber strap?
I've been toying with the idea of trading a couple of my watches in for the steel 5960. I think having the option of leather and rubber straps would also be great. I've seen pics of the watch on a leather strap but none on a rubber strap. Any steel 5960s on a rubber strap out there?Cheers

Well After Various Changes Of Direction......Still A New Patek!
Just a recap several weeks back i was offered a real nice Patek 5960 but to step up to the plate the Daytona had to go but with sellers remorse setting in before i'd given sold it, deep breath and let it go, but you now how it is once your're in new watch mode its only time!, so attempting sensibility my thoughts ran KEEP! the WG Daytona i honestly don't think you'd get a more unique dial and i love the fraction formations on mine and the smaller onyx 3-6-9 indices more in line with the other subtle markings rather than on the newer premium dials with the larger SQUARE markers IMHO. so i'm now looking at something in SS [and cheap being a relative term] as a daily wearer yes rolex make many with a few nice ones to come, maybe i'll regret it but at this time rolex leaves me sort of ho-hum! bored nor excited!, so to the forefront rose AP and Patek i'd all but picked up a RO 15300 when a offshore was offered by a unsolicitated PM after making enquiring post on AP in general on the forums,
