summary
What did you think.
I have the impression that there were many models that adopted a blue-gray color, but I think it was an interesting attempt for Patek Philippe to incorporate a casual denim pattern into the strap. As the brand often announces new products as surprises, I am looking forward to the addition of new products.
We will continue to report on the new models announced at Watches and Wonders Geneva 2024, so stay tuned.
see you!
