Hi Henry I own the same watch and although
I don;t wear it a lot I believe it is a winner. I bought it because I thought it was “different” and I liked it but not like my 5970P etc. I believe it is a wonderful and very unique, I don’t really care about the value but if you hold onto it long enough it will pay dividends...Jim
5235G
Dear All Would like to share with you this uncommon/ non-orthodox reference. It only arrived at market around 2 years after its launch in 2011, heard that because of the difficulty in manufacturing the unique 260 caliber inside. It was a sought after refe...

One of my favorite PP!
I really felt in love the first time I tried it. A future classic in my opinion, not so popular, probably because you have to experience it to truly appreciate the dial. I like that it is a plain annual calendar, i.e. has no moon phase function. The PP DN...
The 5235G is PP’s watch for a horology nerd
Everything that went into the design and technology of the movement is as special as the dial face. I disagree that removing the Annual Calendar would have made it more Patek recognisable; in fact that is exactly what they created on the dial side - a ple...
mine says, "Hi Henry!" 👋
and here are some more pictures of the dial and movement ...
5235 is one of the most interesting modern Pateks
Initially it used to be a quite sought after model as production was stopped several times during its production cycle before Patek saturating the market in 2017.

Thanks for the excellent portrait, Jim.
This is a genuinely special reference. Enjoy yours often! Henry
Thanks, cayenne. You have perfectly captured the unique texture of the brushed dial.
Nice to let more Patek fans know about this ground breaking time piece. Henry
