At over £9K on a rubber strap after trying one on its not what springs to mind when Patek is mentioned one for the younger crowd i feel not a true elegant  piece to my eye and not a true sports watch either, just my thoughts and my money some may disagree

I agree, I think they could do better than that.

I'm a fan of Patek but this model is very disappointing.  My guess is that they are trying to appeal to a younger crowd who covet the sport models.  If so, IMO, they have failed.

That's a  nice brushed finish and would look better on a matching bracelet with the rubber strap in the box as an option IMO.

For that price.

Never been a huge fan of Patek I like some of the range but not keen on the prices.

I think that if there is any single overpriced watch brand, then Patek is it.......
