It would be nice to get a Patek. But are they really the big bad boys of yesteryear Patek that everyone was dreaming about?
Seems to me they just copy stuff nowadays. When AP came out with the Royal Oak, they created the Nautilus. When Lange came out with the Datograph, they came out with the 5170.
The creation of the 5196, fitting a larger case with a small movement seemed sloppy to me.
But yeah, because they are Patek they can continue to do this? For how long? You look at the Grande Lange 1 Moonphase that has like 800+ stars on the moonphase... or the zeitwerk... the datograph... I think Patek will be in trouble if this keeps up.
