Unique Patek Pilot’s Watch Brings $1.7 Million
At Christie’s May 11 Geneva sale, a private Swiss museum paid SFr.1,891,000 ($1,734,862) for a unique, oversize aviator’s wristwatch made by Patek Philippe. The 55mm timepiece features splittable center seconds and an hour angle dial. This is the only watch of its kind known to exist, and until the sale, there was no mention of such a watch in the literature. The Patek Philippe archives confirm that this watch was completed in 1936, and that it was sold on September 28 of that year. The watch is thought to be a unique prototype made on special request. The case is chromed nickel. The dial is black lacquer. The scales and signature are carved into the plate and filled with off-white varnish. Luminous material was used to highlight the Arabic numerals and the outer 60 degrees scale, as well as the hands.The “hour” hand rotates once in 24 hours, indicating the degrees of arc against the center circle divided into 360. The “minute” hand rotates once ever

Hands-On: With The Patek Philippe 5204 Split-Seconds Chronographs With Perpetual Calendar (Live Pics, Specs, & Pricing)
Saying a new Patek Philippe reference is impressive is sort of redundant in itself. But the 5204 is really impressive. It's a new perpetual calendar with split-seconds chronograph for Patek, replacing the 5004 in the lineup, and offering a number of significant improvements. We got our hands on one back at Basel 2012 and have all the details.We'll start with the most basic differences. First, Patek has chosen to up the case size from 36.7 to an even 40 millimeters in keeping with the modern trend for larger watches. It's a huge jump, but 40mm is still a more than reasonable size and looks quite good here. 2 OF 17 Currently the 5204 is only being produced in platinum (5204p-001 being the full reference for this piece), and while the 5004p was most often seen with arabic numerals, the 5204p features applied gold baton markers with luminescent fills instead. The dial itself is opalescent 18k white gold and the hands are black oxidized gold with Super Luminova inl

Are the parts on the 2500 and the 1120 interchangable?
Digging around in my parts box I found two 2500b, one 1120, and a couple 2892 a2 movements.I know all are derivatives of the 2892, Do many parts interchange? Can i drop off the pile to an expert and get a couple working movements? Assuming the needed parts are functional.I'd rather reclaim a couple instead of parting out the lot.

Pam ruined me...
I'm a Rolex guy. Have two subs, all I ever wanted. Once I joined this forum I fell in love with panerai. Finally after buying a 000 I now have a hard time wearing my subs. It's so small! Not just the body but the face! I find myself lusting after more panerai models!Ugh!!! Damn you Pam!

Back in Black (Alligator Straps on 16518)
Since I have lost some weight (actually my AD convinced me to try his diet with him, it worked pretty well lost about 40 pounds from 200 to 155) my wrist got a bit smaller. I decided to switch back to my regular size black alligator strap for my 16518. At first I was terrified to change straps on my daytona, and the first few switches did not go smoothly. I just switched back to my black alligator without much drama and the watch looks completely different.
