It's not the diamonds for me, though I tend to stay away from watches with diamonds (usually), it's the proportions. The 5970 series is a much better balanced reference IMO.

I wouldn't take it for a Richard Mille, but to each their own. 😝

I came away thinking:

1 - The movement and the craftsmanship involved is amazing.

2 - The diamonds are entirely unnecessary.

3 - The precious metals are part of what make Patek, Patek (with the exception of the steel sports watches) - but I'd love to see this watch in steel.

4 - £181,000 on a watch is a lot of money. I know we all earn/spend at different levels/ratios, but to me this was at a point on the spectrum where I cannot imagine being.

5 - If someone gave me the watch, I'd 100% wear it.
