Actually, yesterdaywas the day...
when I found the time to visit my PP dealer again.
And the 5327G still impressed me with ist charming blue colour dial, fantastic new size for my big wrists/hands and of course, the lovely case design. I have decided to buy it but left the store without it though. I don´t like the shiny Version of the blue leather strap at all and my dealer will order the matte version for me. I think next week I can pick up my new watch 
So I will have some days of pleasant anticipation, lol. After getting the watch I will make some shots for the forum.
Thx again for your great review, Mark. It really helped me a lot sorting my thoughts on the watch.
Hands-on review: New Patek Philippe 5327 Perpetual Calendar
Hi everyone, One of the main events from last year's Baselworld fair was the launch of the new Perpetual Calendar reference: Patek Philippe 5327 . The previous generation reference 5140 has been in the catalogue for 10 years and is one of the very fine ex...
Thanks Mark AGAIN!
I am afraid that 5327P (subject to dial colour) will find its way to my wrist. But 5327A would be something really stunning! Best, Kari
Glad you enjoyed it!
I know the 5327P is something you'll observe when it will be presented. We'll see what they are preparing and I'm also eager to discover it. About the A, I wonder if they would not prefer to introduce a Nautilus PC instead? A lot to discuss. Thank you for...
Like I told you, a prototype of Nautilus QP was made...
But back to 5327: I said I will take platinum when it comes. Now I'm staring at the yellow gold. This perpetual in all 4 metals would make a nice set with my 4 x 5110. I need a shrink! Best, Kari
Indeed, I wonder what they would prefer introducing as a A material...
For the quartet, there are some models we are very tempted to imagine a full gathering. Now, aside from the higher budget compared to the 5110, there is the question of being sure there will be 1 of each material and not another version of the G or the R ...
My watch winders are pretty occupied
but I have a good working relation with SdT. Best, Kari
Thanks for the review.
Tried the 5327R and i rather liked it but the 5327G was unavailable. I think the 5327G would have been irresistible!
R and G
There are many dial decorations available in Patek's catalogue and I must say that when it comes to darker blue colours I'm even more excited. This one has the casual but not sporty colour I prefer. Something to see in the metal indeed Sake. Tell if you c...
Hi Mark, great review as usual & many thanks !
The blue dial is growing on me! Stop the poison please ! Cheers, Gordon
My pleasure!
As I said to Sake, this blue dial is one of my favorite indeed as I prefer darker blue compared to the middle ones we also found in other Patek references. That's just a personnal taste (I already liked the 6000G blue dial for that reason if you remember)...
Thanks Mark. Having seeing in real
the 3 models, the 5327J remains my very favorite, 5327G the 2d the blue dial is great, but should be boring with time IMHO Best, Patrickh ...
When I look at the three available versions,
I must also admit that there is something very special in the yellow gold 5327. Best, Kari
Perfect description.
Agreed. Timeless is true especially in yellow gold. It harks back to the genesis of the Patek QP.
I remember you told me the J was great in the metal
I couldn't see it yet but will definitely have a look at it "for educational purpose" :p Thanks for sharing your wristshots Patrick. Best, Mark
Thank you for this introduction Mark.....
love the watch and believe that it will satisfy a true Patek Philippe connoisseur. I personally would love to see it on a bracelet. For some reason I am at a stage that strap just does not do it for me. What do you think? Best Regards Edward
About bracelet
I love bracelets, especially when dealing with sportier watches. I never tried really a traditional watch like a Calatrava with a bracelet and must admit I was not particularly attracted by the ones I saw before. Nevertheless, I think you might get into s...
When I look at their current offer....
I see that 5146 and 5396 are on a very well designed bracelets, but my conclusion is that is too small-scale and there are no perpetuals on it . The final design is up to the designers discretion, I agree but the opinion is a personal judgment. Mostly lov...
Maybe this is a question you can ask Patek
I don't know if how the current bracelets you like can be adjusted to other cases. This is an interesting question, whether they are willing to provide such bracelet on more classical references. This will also please people in humid countries. Best, Mark...
Hello Mark. Good reveiw of a complicated Patek.
I think the dial is more centered and positioned now. Cause it has a slightly bigger case. A j would be quite elegant. Cheers & best wishes. Geross.
Another vote for the J
It seems that this colour is back on track again, at least people are willing to have a look at it. Yes, the bigger case combined with the numerals are bringing a lot to the new balance. Thank you Geross for your words Best, Mark
Indeed sake
I think that it is something to be done when considering what a Patek PC represents for a collector (and the budget of course).
Thank you for a nice review Mark.
I really like the symmetry of the dial. I love the classic look of the 5327J. I think this will be my next piece in yellow gold. CB
So do I
The occupation of the dial is an element that I really noticed as it was very nice to look at. Definitely a watch to try if you are in the market for such a Calatrava and it is another vote for the J! Thanks for your compliment CB Best, Mark
Many thanks for this very educative review Mark.
I had the chance to see the 5327G at the PP Geneva shop with a friend and I have to confess that this watch is absolutely splendid. This blue dial is really mesmerising. Best wishes Alkiro
Yes, the blue color and decoration work very well indeed
It is quite smooth as we can see from some of the pictures I took. Thanks for your kind comments and feedback Alkiro Best, Mark
Thanks for the nice review Mark
J gets my vote too, what a nice ivory laquered dial ! And I love leaf hands, it reminds me my 3970... Best, Mike
Yes, the Ivory dial brings a lot of charm
I love lacquered dials personally and this matches a more traditional style very well IMHO. Those Leaf hands are gorgeous, maybe my favorite, even if it would depend on the watch's style. Thank you Mike for chimming in and for your nice compliments Best, ...
Thanks Mark for Great review as always !
Love the dial design & proportion. Liked 5327G in blue dial and the best part is size 39mm. As I am having 5140R and due to 37mm its not getting deserved wrist time. The Breguet numerals are outstanding. Cheers ! Gautam
Design and proportion
I totally agree, I love both and it is so easy to miss something. The baton markers bring a little discretion and a lighter look to a dressy watch and the Breguet numerals bring that charm and beauty that is also worth considering indeed. Thank you Gautam...
Mark , thanks for this review
Not having ever seen one in real life , it is often difficult to comment . But I must say the 3940 still calls out to me rather than any of these other iterations Julian
They are 2 very different interpretation of a PC from Patek
One is an ultra thin, dressy and refined watch, the other one is a greatly balanced, full of charm and beautifully designed version. Both very attractive, in different ways and that's allowing the brand to offer watches that don't look alike from a genera...
Wonderful report, Mark
the pink gold version is an absolute dream of a dress watch. The thinness, the sophistication and elegance, just sublime.
I agree with you
I was happy to see this new model was a worthy successor for this complication, so important in Patek's history. It could be, at least for me, an only one watch Thanks a lot CC for your input and very kind comments, I'm glad you enjoyed the review! Best, ...
A difficult decision between this new one and the 5140...
I like the size of this one, but the smaller more discreet size of the 5140 is also great. Another problem for all perpetual calendar users, for those who travel between different timezones a lot, I'm constantly worried about getting the watch desynchroni...
Indeed, like for the 3940, they are quite all different
and may appeal in a very different way to watch fans. Each time for a different aspect. As for your setting concerns, I totally agree. We must be careful when setting a simple date watch but the Perpetual Calendar is something that should be set a very sp...
My pleasure Mark!
As the 240 caliber's biggest fan (I generally love micro-rotors) this is one of my favorite topics!
I actually liked the new perpetual in Basel 16
But I only got the chance to try them last December,I thought I would like the blue dial white gold variant,But I didn\'t prefer this shade of blue for a reason,Not the 5070P shade for instance nor the 5905P,Which I like a lot I got surprised by the Color...
Indeed, the decoration for the dial...
and the blue tone have to be seen in the metal to feel if it is what we like. I didn't see the J version so it is interesting to have your feedback and knowing that they are quite close in terms of color. Thanks Beejo! Best, Mark
all variants are great: the blue for dressing down and business, the J and R for timeless daydreaming
Thank you for the enjoyable read! I was a bit disappointed by the blue one, from looking at it in the window of the AD, but on your wrist it is quite good looking. 39 mm is still "o.k." as it gives the pp calendar the size many collectors were expecting, ...
Indeed the offer serves a wide use
Interesting to see how with a same watch you can bring such a different piece in the end, especially with this G blue dial one. I'm clearly more a rose gold guy for this kind of watch but, if I had to choose, i don't know if I would get this one or the G ...
Happened to try on a yellow 5327 yesterday and ...
I must say it is a truly beautiful watch. While I prefer the rose version, the enamel like Breguet dial in both versions is enticing - for me much more appealing than the blue dial. The case is also fantastic. When Patek brought out the 5140 I thought it ...
Thank you for your experience feedback
I love the lacquered dials and the R and J dials have a great look. It is interesting to read about your preference for the R version. I think that people should indeed compare both R and J if willing to go for it. As you say, the 5327 brings a quite sign...
Splendid review as usual Mark!
Btw, any reason why they chose a pin buckle for the blue dial?=) J
Thank you J!
Well, that's something Patrick emphasized too. As it is mentioned on Patek's website, it should be delivered with a deployant buckle. I wonder if they just added pin buckles for the Basel prototypes only. I'll have to check. Best, Mark
Great review
Thanks Mark. Enjoyed the reading. The new perpetual is classy but not classic - too big in my opinion.. Think I am repeating myself now Sorry. But the breguet numerals fits well here to fill some space on a big dial. The 5327 actually made me pull the tri...
That's indeed the different perspectives we can have on a watch
And yours is perfectly relevant! Something I find very good in this case is that the new generation doesn't always just replace the previous one; they are both as appealing (depending on our tastes of course). Someone will still be able to prefer an older...
Possibly my next PP
The 5327G blue dials is quite stunning and a fore runner for my collection if nothing comes out if Baselworld to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the movement. An observation is that I have seen this watch in at least 3 AD\'s .....either no one is buying...
I think it is a strong contender for a PC and a beautiful traditional watch
Let's see what comes out in Basel, we'll have plenty of time to think about it then. If I remember well, you like Patek blue dials As I said to another purist, I was nearly always considering rose gold or at least classic versions for such watches but tha...
PPC event
I have been invited to a PC event in London in may. Let\'s hope a new reveal from Baselworld!
Thank you, Mark, for the interesting review. Some days ago...
I had the chance to see the G and R version in the metal. I must admit that I was stunned by the blue dial of the G. It's incredibly elegant and mesmerizing indeed. I liked the Red gold version as well but for my personal taste I need to wait 10 more year...
Yes, the blue dial is working very well
Choosing WG with blue or RG is indeed not that easy. It will depend on the moment, how we will wear it etc... Yes please keep us informed of you thoughts and how you see the watch as time goes by. Thank you very much for your nice comments Cayenne, much a...

That is a very nice project
and getting the matte strap will bring a great balance between modern and classic. Furthermore, it gives more importance to the watch itself. Great choice. As you said, the 5327 is a beautiful interpretation of a PC from Patek, especially that case shape ...
