Nice Video. I can't even get on the waiting list for a single one. Patek has no authorized jewelers in Tampa, FL. Amazing you have so many of the discontinued collection. I wonder how many you have of the remainder!!! ;))). Lucky man. Thanks for sharing.
The Patek clear out isn’t really going to effect my current collection Damian but a great episode as usual … absolutely loved the new Kurono , that dial looks stunning .. 👌🏻
Great video, cheers Damian. Recently I’ve become so disenchanted by lack of availability from Patek (and Rolex, etc). I’ve been poking elsewhere. A new Speedy and quite a few independents have been added to my collection. I think many of us watch fans have been doing the same
For we mere mortals, there are no spilt tears...the Nautilus boat sailed long ago for many of us and the Grand Complications we only ever saw with our noses pressed against the window of Hong Kong jewellery stores. To think that I saw these watches in stores for years and never lusted after one until it was to late. I've now decided it's Seiko GS for the future. In fact I just got the White Birch SLGH005. A stunning watch.
since there's no way that they'll launch 26 new models this year, it'll certainly streamline production, allowing them to take advantage of the market and appease some of their collectors/customers
It looks like Patek is discontinuing the caliber 215ps, judging from the discontinued Calatrava models. While I’m glad the new caliber fits the 6119, 39mm is too large for a dress watch. My 3796 is perfect (and the discontinued caliber fit it perfectly. You have an amazing collection.
I think Patek would be well served to leave the launch of the 6711 until the Nautilus’ 50th anniversary, personally. Shocked to see the enamel world timer being chopped…that really is my grail watch along with 5270J. I know many criticise the 5196 but, as the J was my first ever Patek, I’m a massive fan. The 6119 line, whilst undoubtedly having a gorgeous movement, really isn’t for me as it seems a bit too fussy. I accept that’s purely a personal perspective though.
“Former of this parish” - only a few folk will get that! 👍👌🤣. Oh and re the salmon dial, your “and now it’s gone” fawny look is fooling no one…! 🤣👍. As ever, spectacular content Damien, keep it coming.
I tried buying a 5270p recently and was told it was discontinued and impossible to get. I got the 5270/1R -001. I do love the bracelet on it but if I got the chance would also buy a 5270p.
PP just introduced a new version of their perpetual calendar split second complication, the 5204R-011. Rose gold, brown dial, brown leather strap, apparently no limited edition. And now I am confused why Patek would discontinue tthe 5204 line while simultaneously releasing a new version that isn't limited.
Wow that was a shocking news! Those are beautiful watches that will be discontinued. Nevertheless PP will definitely release another line up if beautiful watches 👌👏
Well I never liked the 5711 when I could buy it at 20k and I certainly didn't like it any more when the price went up. The same with the other Genta designs. Its funny though how some people start liking watches the more valuable and "sort" after they become. Obviously FOMO and herd mentality kicks in. We humans are a funny species, despite are supposed higher intellect compared to other animals, it must be said...
I covert only one PP and it's none of those so I won't miss any of them.. Most of PP watches to my own personal taste are really rather unattractive including all those mentioned in the video. For instance the Salmon dial is totally outshone by the ALS version. The syringe one looks like a toy, the hobnail bezel looks terrible etc etc etc . I get they are a well made timepiece but looks wise in the main, they never quite hit the spot.
@@TheWatchGuysTV When you think the'll cancel it cos essentially the body of it is a nautilus and surely it would follow to be ditched? The prices have spiked just in last few weeks.
I never liked the Nautilus. Nothing screams “old man dumb money" more than a Nautilus. Patek makes so many other beautiful models that haven’t been soiled by the ridiculous Genta craze.
Love the “ This is mine” made me chuckle
That was a homage to a Jeremy Clarkson piece on 4x4s in the 90s. I've always wanted to do it.

Yep, nothing wrong with that. The way I look at it is the Pateks will arrive eventually - I’m in no rush (unless they discontinue them)
The new Speedy is absolutely gorgeous!
Very well put together guys. Will be interesting to see what they do next with the World Time range.
That salmon dial piece you got there is truly a stunner!
Great video, have all of these been confirmed by Patek?
Yes
Holy Cow! Pretty shocking! Thank you for the comprehensive report. Very informative.
👍👍

They are some smart folks at Patek so I’ll hope for the best!

I agree on the 6119s, I much prefer the 5227s
@@TheWatchGuysTV Agreed - or the old 5119 which is the OG hobnail design and is also a classic in my opinion.

RIP 5196R. I’ll miss you.
This is crazy world now.

I’m so sad 😢😭! Don’t even know why though because I can’t even afford the least expensive Patek
What do you think to the caltrava? Thinking of getting my first patek!
PS. Come back we miss your videos!
The Calatrava is superb, but I think the 5527Gs are the best - the simple, classics in ivory/cream dial or black.
How many watches do you have on order? Love your passion 👍
Not that many now actually
I really like your channel. I’m wondering about Jason’s role in the channel. It would be great to hear his commentary.
Sadly he doesn’t have the time to work on it

Sad to see 5990/a go.. my favorite nautilus
Great vlog great watches. Enjoy
Thanks so much
@@TheWatchGuysTV Always. Enjoy

Not a patek fan, but interesting none the less. Cheers
sad to see both world timers go. both are so much better than the new ones.
i still love the 5135
So long the Casio F-91W isn't discontinued, the world will keep turning
:)

So, which is the one you covet?
Did you see the piece unique 5740 for the owner of Tiffany and co
Yes, I didn't think much of it
@@TheWatchGuysTV Ya I agree it looked very strange to me hard to describe. Maybe better in person
It’s very sad 😔 no more
Patek 5712 rose gold - what is happening with this please?
Still in the range
@@TheWatchGuysTV When you think the'll cancel it cos essentially the body of it is a nautilus and surely it would follow to be ditched? The prices have spiked just in last few weeks.
huge decision by patek .. will they produce more of the models that are left ?
No
Flexing a bit I see, love ho he goes, this is unicorn, it is impossible to get bla bla aaaaand: here is mine!
The 5712 is the best nautilus
A massacre yet a much needed one.
Bie bie gorgeous 5270p…
Bye bye
The 5711 is dead. Long live the (dunno?) 6711...?🤔
discontinue aquanaut don't care but why any reference Nautilus
This probably needs to be a proper sentence for me to understand it, sorry.

Time indeed to leave the 70s behind and focus on elegance.
