Patek Philippe

Last Saturday I could finally pick up my 5212A at my dealer after he has presented the watch to some other customers. I´m wearing it ever since and my first impressions are 100 % positive! Here are some first thoughts which of course are all my personal o...  

it is a practical complication & make sense to be in steel case only but your fear is absolutely right....we never know ! great pics too !! Best, mahesh.,

Congrats looks like a really nice piece! Does the day indicator sweep or move at once at midnight? Best

I like the watch and thank you for your reprot. Enjoy your new timepiece. M4

I hope we see more of such beautifully designed watches by PP in steel. Enjoy this special watch in good health!

I was very much hoping they would release a steel Patek, so I'm happy this happened -- and in a very original way. Unfortunately we might see some people initially speculating on this new steel piece, but I'd be happy if it finally helps the whole Calatra... 

Love your 4th photo illustrating the case. Congratulations on your new watch👊

The indices make me think about the 5960A silver dial, too. Well spotted! I am less fan of the date, but it doesn't really matter. A very good modern Patek. Well done, my friend. Best, Nicolas

I haven't a strong relationship with my local AD, however this would be such an easy watch to wear day in and day out. Perfect balance of casual elegance and quirky character. Wouldn't you know it, but my company operates on calendar weeks as displayed on... 

thanks for your extensive post ! Enjoy it often !

I have one on order and looking forward to seeing one in the metal

I too was a bit worried about the 40mm diameter but this watch wears small possibly because there is a lot happening on the dial. May I ask politely which country you are based at? I ask because I doubt if customers from the UK (including me!) have receiv... 

Ah, so the Germans are preferred to the Brits?! Just kidding, I am sure we will eventually receive our allocation before the year ends as promised!

I would be very happy to receive mine by December 31!

I can see this watch having even more of the everyday ease that I love the 5110 for.

I like the fact that those concentric circles make the watch look more restrained than its 40mm would suggest. Great aesthetics, the blackened gold indices and hands work really well against the dial. Steel case is a bonus. As for the strap I like it, but... 

Hope to one day have the opportunity to handle one in the real... thanks for taking the time to share this excellent review, beautiful piece! Happy to see they put the classic Calatrava buckle on this as well! ...  

For my steel 5960...

Mine arrived as well, picking it up next week.

Definitely increases my anticipation and excitement about (hopefully) acquiring this watch. On the negative side it also increases my impatience. Lastly, CONGRATULATIONS on acquiring a very special watch! Best, patekova

I hope you will get your watch soon 😄

Very well written. I reaaly enjoyed reading it. I, too am fascinated with this one. And I am one of those who could really use the weekly calendar. I think this is a clear winner in the current patek collection. I still need to see it in the real though. ... 

And thx a lot for your kind words on the review. I often feel so limited when I have to write in English.

Im sure im in a very small minority on this point Still - what a great watch!

Interesting remarks about the color of the dial changing from grey to beige, it sure does look great. A beautiful watch that keeps growing on me. The more I see it, the more I like it. Your pics helped too. I've enjoyed your review, thanks. Vte

The day and week changes are not instantaneous. I took the following photograph early hours of Monday morning. The date and week number has already changed and day indicator is between Sunday and Monday. ...
