Is this normal patina on the dial?
Hi all - thought I’d get some expert opinions from those more knowledgeable than me.
It seems with this 2006 CPCP 2356, this particular dial has gone through some darkening around the subdials (oxidation maybe?), but also some white marks/blemishes/discolorations (circled in green).
Wondering whether anyone has encountered this before? Is this normal patina?
Thanks very much in advance!

I once had a far less expensive watch do that on a guilloche dial after about 10 years.
Personally I'm not a patina fan, so I'd be tempted to replace the dial, because now you can't unsee it. I seriously doubt Cartier would do it for free.
