New Release
brandon.c's acquisition of the Patek Philippe 5330G-010 Tokyo special edition offers WatchProSite readers a rare, firsthand look at a highly coveted timepiece. His detailed observations on the unique purple dial and innovative date complication provide invaluable insights into this exclusive reference. This article synthesizes community reactions and expert commentary, enriching brandon.c's initial review for both seasoned collectors and new enthusiasts.
I am very happy to be posting some pictures of my newly arrived 5330G Tokyo special edition. The purple dial is quite colorful under direct lighting, but becomes more discreet at other times.
The date complication is well done, as expected from Patek Philippe. The glass hand looks great, and the date changing when crossing the international date line as well as when crossing midnight is fantastic.
I’m a little surprised the new movement is based on the 240 instead of the newer 31-260, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see that change in future versions of the 5330.
Having a Tokyo-themed Patek ranks pretty high on my wishlist and it is as if they read my mind with the choice of color and overall design for this release. I’m very happy to have received an allocation.
very nice watch !! One question, are you based in Japan or could you get it from another area / country ?
I live in Japan and all of my Pateks have been purchased while living here. It is my understanding that this model was only available to Japanese residents.
Thanks for confirming
Congratulations wear it in amazing health, what an amazing watch. I don't want to think what would be very high on your wishlist 😅
The color of the dial is superb and matches your jewelry! Enjoy it often !
It looks gorgeous on your wrist. As you said, the date complication is exceptional. Though looks simple, it is actually made of a thin yet perfectly straight piece of glass. The date hand will also move according to the time zone selected. I just managed to see one through the glass at an AD of Tokyo during my recent summer trip. Wear this beauty in good health! Cheers, Henry
