This is the nicest 5204 in my opinion
The tachymeter improved the aesthetics eg the hr indices from 10-2 isn’t awkwardly long now
Chrono secs and mins are now Color matched
Date fonts resized to be consistent with 27 and 5 and the leap year and day nite indicators moved to the subdials.. and that would be perfect for me 🤣
The new ref. 5204G-010
If I'm not mistaken, this is the second white gold variant of the Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar Split Seconds Chronograph ref. 5204 . The previous one was olive green (see below), the new one features a sunburst navy blue dial with red chronograph han...
Not bad...
but a little too sporty for me. Good to see that the little chin is gone in this version. My favourite is the black dial, 5204P-011, one of my grail.
The dial layout has been changed quite a bit.
Like you, this new version looks too sporty for me. Best, Emmanuel ...
Great comparison Emmanuel!
The new one is too sporty for me, I think that I still prefer the previous green version.
Yes, blue and red is too much for me too...
The dial of the green variant is a little busy also. Best, Emmanuel
Incredible pictures!
A very impressive watch indeed. That said, in my opinion fabric straps tend to suit sportier watches better, even if straps are easily changed. I also feel that Patek may be leaning a bit too heavily on them across the current collection.
I completely agree with you.
But they're trying to speak to a younger clientele which is looking for a more sporty and "agressive" look. Reason why I personally prefer the classic releases: the new 5396 or the olive Ellipse. Best, Emmanuel
The dails are too overloaded
As a general comment for the latest PCC models from Patek, the dails are becomming more and more overloaded with Color, with so large scales, etc and they are missing more and more elagance, timeless and balanced looks. Just my two Cents to it. I much pre...
I completely understand your feeling, Martin.
It’s PP trying to speak to a younger clientele who wants sportier looking watches. I personally prefer the very first G model or the more recent J. That said, I’ve tried on the green P version and was surprised to like it a lot. Photos don’t provide the r...
While I am not particularly a fan of the 5204 and while I am not a “younger clientele”, I absolutely love the colors of the dial, hands and strap.
If I were in the market for a 5204 this is the one I would happily buy and wear.
Thank you for reminding me/us that
taste is much more than a matter of age or generation. I personally find this sunburst blue and red color scheme too sporty, but I certainly understand the appeal. Best, Emmanuel
Personally I would prefer green.
But I do love how sporty the blue and red make the latest release. 5004 is still best for me.
I’ve never tried on a 5004, only a 5204.
It would be nice to be able to compare them side by side. Best, Emmanuel
It’s a killer. I tried at analog shift in Vegas a number of years ago.
It was crazy price then. Even more so now.
I'm madly in love with this 5204
They got rid of the chin but alas the price is way too high. I couldn't afford this one 😯

The next iteration will be perfect!
Save your money and be patient! 🤩☺️ Best, Emmanuel
It seems very eye-catching indeed.
But one has to like the very sporty look! Best, Emmanuel
It's definitely very sporty and vibrant!
Too much for me, but I clearly understand the appeal! 😊 Best, Emmanuel
