Hi Tony, A warm welcome to our Patek forum ! Your thought process in selecting the blue
makes sense, especially given that you wish to pair it with your wardrobe. Like you, I found the 5204 very striking, and also very sporty.
The 5990/1R looks great and its blue dial simply lovely !
Look forward to reading more of your posts and collection.
The new 5270s
Here are the best shots I could find of the three new platinum Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar Chronographs ref. 5270 . Enjoy ! Best, Emmanuel REF. 5270P-015 Sunburst lacquered charcoal gray dial with black-gradient rim credit: @alekswatches (1), @benrs...
The charcoal looks fantastic.
Not as impressed by the red and blue on 5270. I feel they would look better on a different model, maybe 5960
I agree that the charcoal looks great.
However, the blue and red might look great in person: I didn't expect to find the green (5270P-014) compelling, but I did when I tried it on a few months ago... Best, Emmanuel
Great pics thanks for sharing
How legible are the hour/minute hands in real life? Looks compromised based on the pics, but I know it's often very different in the real world.
Of these 3 I like the red dial but….
I would prefer an older version with a yellow gold case👌
Both charcoal and blue look good to me.
Not sure which to pick between 5270G-019 and 5270P-016. I prefer the leaf hands on the 5270G-019, but the blue on the 5270P-016 looks gorgeous and it has a PT case.
Grey for me..
It’s very classy.. I hope one day patek will put the leap year and day nite indications back into the subdials
Thanks Emmanuel for collecting and sharing so many great pictures 🙌🏻
The Grey one looks really stunning, and may be my favorite indeed, followed very closely by the Red one (which didn't look "so red" to me in the metal).
My pleasure. I agree that the grey is the probably the most appealing.
But you've seen them in person, whereas I've just seen photos so far. Best, Emmanuel
To me the most appealing might be the red one...
But the gray may be much more versatile
If I had to decide where to put my money, it would be a tough decision
Sensible versatile option or the coolest one...
I had the opportunity to try on the platinum blue. I have seen in person and/or tried on many 5270 variants. I particularly like lacquered dials. This one is very appealing , likely my favorite
5270. Have yet to see the red or the gray. I very much look forward to that.
I hope you’ll get to see the gray and red soon.
The only one I’ve been able to try on is the “older” green and I was surprised to like it a lot. Best, Emmanuel ...
I like the green lacquered dial also. Strictly a matter of taste, but I prefer the inclusion of the tachometer track on the new variants.
Some might prefer the less busy, more open dial of the green.
Good photos Emmanuel ! Even with great shots, these photos cannot
show how great the 5270P-015 looks in the metal IMO. The vibrant dials give 5270s new lives 💪
I have no trouble believing you: watches are always so much more beautiful in real life!
It was striking when I tried on the green platinum variant.
I bought the Blue.. here’s why
I visited the salon and spent some time trying on all three new 5270P variants, along with the new 5204, to make a proper side-by-side comparison rather than relying on press photos. The red dial photographs exceptionally well and initially caught my atte...
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and detailed thoughts!
You offer us a wonderful first post here! And huge congratulations on this acquisition: the blue 5270P looks wonderful indeed and what you say about its versatility makes a lot of sense. In an interview the other day, Thierry Stern said that these models ...
Thank you and Yes I watched the same interview
The boutique told me the same they will be limiting these a lot this time around. Allocation will be slim - similar to how AP allocates their perpetual calendars.

Thank you…
I joined this forum after acquiring 13 Pateks I buy what I like, I wear them everyday in rotation and I read reviews after buying not before - hence a bit late the party. But thanks for the welcome 🙏
You must have a lovely collection with 13 Pateks ! Please
share your thoughts on them so that members can learn more about the various pieces.
