but I like the new grey dial the best.

Best, Emmanuel

I'm typically not too interested in perpetual calendar watches but I like the in-line display on this model and definitely would own it if money was no object. The salmon dial is my next favorite of the three. M4

And the Padellone case. But I really can’t tell which dial is my favorite. The only one I’ve seen in person is the blue. Best, Emmanuel

As far as I’m concerned I can’t decide which one I prefer. I would need to see them in person. Best, Emmanuel

But I find it really hard to find out which one is my favorite based on photos only. The only one I’ve seen in person is the blue one. Best, Emmanuel

blue 👍 The new gray is also lovely 🥰 in the metal !💪

and it’s definitely very nice. Good to know about the grey! Best, Emmanuel

And although I think it could be 1-2mm smaller, it fits my 16cm wrist very well. I’ve seen the navy and salmon in the flesh - both are gorgeous and it would be difficult to choose. The new gray dial is my favorite grand complication release by Patek this ... 

and the appeal of this reference. Just a little smaller would be great. Best, Emmanuel

...and have worn the blue version for an extended period (while drinking beer) : ) It was a tad top-heavy on my 7.25" wrist. Perhaps a tad thinner or in white gold to mitigate the weight? But it's a very cool display...

The blue is the only one I’ve tried on and I liked it. I personally prefer platinum for such a watch. Best, Emmanuel

Best, Emmanuel

I would need to see the grey dial in person to be sure of how I feel about it. And the regulator is definitely a strong contender! Best, Emmanuel

But this reference looks very boring to me. Dial wise. I have a 3940, which I gifted to my partner. I tried to buy another PC from PP. Nothing excites me that much tbh. Just boring. Best Gatsby

but it’s not a step up from the previous navy blue version. It’s a solid offering, but not the best PC that comes to mind.

However, I think this in-line display is very nice and I love the Padellone case, even if I wish it were a little smaller. Best, Emmanuel

This display is definitely minimalist. But I like it and I love the Padellone case. Best, Emmanuel

The new grey dial looks very nice. Personally I prefer it when it looks more grey than sepia. All the best, Jon

I think I feel just like you, but would need to see the watch in person to be sure. Best, Emmanuel

The clear choice for me would be the salmon. Aside from not having a watch with a salmon dial and having watches with blue and gray/silver dials, I like the smooth surface dial with no striations. And the overall look appeals to me the most.

Having seen only the blue on in person, I find it hard to get a real sense of how the other two look in person. I think I could like the Salmon dial very much. Best, Emmanuel

I guess, you like my new watch .

Please, share some photos with us (only if you want, of course)! Best, Emmanuel

I also think that a smaller size would be great. Best, Emmanuel

I like it very much.

to get a full sense of how it looks. Best, Emmanuel

Blue close second for me. Lovely overall design and balance on all variations

The case could be a tad smaller, though. Best, Emmanuel

Many thanks for putting these images side by side. This is exactly the kind of comparison that helps the watch make sense. The new dial feels less immediate than some of the earlier 5236 versions, but the more I look at it, the more I understand the appea...
