Some Patek Philippe 2017 Novelties
Patek Philippe released in Baselworld 2017 some vintage-inspired pieces including this cream-dial 5320g perpetual calendar in white gold. It looks stunning on the wrist and it is definitely one of the best executions of vintage-style dials.

 
 
 
Syringe hands, cream-coloured dial and black numerals and hands enclosure together forge a very vintage-style dial. The case features several layers as well. The watch may look simple but the craftsmanship is not simple at all.
 

One of my favorites here is the 5396r-015 with diamond indexes. The blue color is really sharp and it is complemented by the color of rose gold. It bears very strong visual impact, making a dressy watch somewhat sexier than it should be. The diamond markers further enhance the shine of the watch. It is absolutely a very catchy piece under different lighting. A very very dazzling piece of art.
 
 

Finally here is the 5170p platinum chronograph. It has a new sunburst blue dial which graduates from blue to black from the center to the tachymeter scale. Just like the 5396r this year, the markers on this chronograph are baguette diamonds.
 

From a recent A.Lange boutique visit, I saw the A.Lange 1815 Chronograph boutique edition which features blue numerals and a pusolgraph scale.
 

The movement of the 1815 Chronograph is like a masterpiece of architecture. Plates are made of German silver and they are decorated by solid gold chantons. Hand engraved balance cock and you can see the movement of the flyback chronograph clearly
 

The movement of the Lnage 1 platinum. 3/4 plate made of German silver. Decorated with blued screws,solid gold chantons and a hand engraved balance cock.

A comparison of the two movements

Two different dial styles. Wearing the 1815 chronograph is like wearing an engine on the wrist
Of the two watches I highly recommend the 1815 chronograph boutique edition. Not only is it much rarer but it is also much more casual in style. It looks very sharp even with t-shirt and jeans. The blue numerals are so clean and the pulsograph greatly complements the numerals. When you turn the watch over, you see art and the pinnacle of watchmaking.
The Lange 1 platinum is more dressy in many ways. It is smaller at 38.5mm. One would behold the beauty of the 3/4 as the movement is so neat and masculine. Well decorated and crafted, the movement is in a different style than the chronograph one. It looks less complicated  and more striking and sheer.

What make the crown stand out?

When we talk about watches, we always talk about Rolex. When we talk about Rolex, we always talk about…errr… the Submariner? the Daytona? Or… the Day-Date? Have you wondered why Rolex has been so successful all over the world?

1. Price

In Hong Kong, Rolex stainless steel watches are around 30k-90k. It means a stainless steel Rolex is never over 100k HKD (now it may be different with the new Daytona). That has been the case for many years. A Rolex is a symbol of status in Hong Kong and many of us do not mind buying a symbol of status under 100k HKD. It is a mental trick. Rolex understands how big the amount of money we are willing to spend on their watches.
 

2. Iconic design

Be it a Submariner, a Daytona or a Datejust, we can always recognize a Rolex easily. When worn on the wrist, you are wearing something that you know others will envy. There are so many iconic designs in the Rolex collection. Each of them has its own features and character. This successfully makes people want to buy more and more after they own their first Rolex. Of course, movie stars wearing Rolex watches contribute a lot to its success, too.

3. Practicality

Every Rolex is tough. Every Rolex movement is an unbeatable workhorse. Yes. This is the image of Rolex – its being super practical. Although you may not dive with your Submariner or check the other city’s time with your GMT Master, these watches are made with practical function and outstanding durability. You seldom hear that a Rolex is not accurate or it breaks down easily. Each Rolex watch has its own practical function. It has nothing excessive. The image of each Rolex model is so clear that laymen understand easily.
