It has happened: a Patek Philippe QUARTZ!

[Hesekiel]

Not an April Fool's Day joke: Patek Philippe Aquanaut Travel Time Quartz, Ref. 5269:

I wonder if the gen uses a Renata battery

Well, that's kind of crazy news for me... But in the other hand, I think we might witness radical changes in the watch industry soon; like price drops and customers losing their interest in mechanical watches.. so maybe this is just a badass smart move?

 

[Hesekiel]

It's just a mind stretch on my part, but perhaps a few years down the road, we will have a PP and Rolex Smart Watch?

No need to wind it ! A big improvement for only 35000€, I am going to buy it if is still available next week... It's a pity, 8.77 mm for a quartz. Even ZF makes a 15202 thinner

Its not the first Patek Quartz, so why not (for Ladies)

I’m going to make a heavy investment in a company that makes watch batteries. I hope it makes me enough dough to buy one of these. As soon as I’m in on the ground floor, I will let some of my close friends here know the details. Stand by.

This will be a flop

 

[Reaps]

This will be a flop

Only high level quartz worth a damn is Grand Seiko or FP Journe's Elegante. I mean Seiko's 9F Quartz or even their 1/100th chronograph quartz is more impressive than this garbage

It will be cheaper to service tho, reps will be more reliable.
