Patek Philippe - Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you for all the responses and warm welcome. This forum definitely has lots of information and great minds!
All,
Also after seeing JC's recent post on the 5078G and the enamel dial, I had two thoughts-
1) Wow, that is beautiful
2) Patek will probably not use enamel on a lower piece such as the 5320 and they have intentionally used lacquer here
It would make sense for Patek to come out with different metals on the 5320 as it does with many other references but this watch seems to be a recreation of many parts of its past - I have a hard time seeing it in a different dial color ie (Rose Gold with Black Dial). I wanted to know what everyone else thought.
The 5327, 5940, 5059 are all beautiful watches but the 5320 is the one that drew me into PC because of its more modern look and having owned several annual calendars, I guess I am used to this look.
Yes, finding the perfect watch is impossible but learning to love the imperfections is what makes all of this special.
My main concern here was if there is a chance that a platinum 5320 may be released, it might be worth the wait.
I wouldn't want to get the 5320g and regret if they made a 5320p with a special dial.

QP Dilemma

By: GirlAndHerWatches : March 25th, 2018-14:04

Hi All, I always loved watches for their technical aspects and as something you can wear on a daily basis ever since I was young. However, I only started really appreciating the beauty, workmanship and details that can make or break a watch. Also being fe...

First, welcome to the forum and your first post. Introducing yourself with a bang!

By: 5980 : March 25th, 2018-15:04

With respect to your questions, I unfortunately can't respond to most as I tend to try to refrain from polluting others with my own horrible tastes 😔🤐😔. On one topic - that of a SS PC Nautilus - I'll offer my opinion for what it's worth. In short, no. I d...

Great post!!

I think waiting for an exact and perfect combination might be futile. Given your choices, I think it's wise to thing about the practical short comings of a manual perpetual chronograph. Miss one day of winding and you have work to do.. PC + (split) chrono...

I'd pick the 5320 over the Nauti

But I might pick the blue 5327 over 5320. But if 5170p, then certainly 5320! Thomas

...an eternal classic... Or the 5940...I LOVE...the case shape. You can't go wrong with either. The point being, both are thin and elegant. I happen to have a preference for yellow gold (it goes with my swarthy complexion) : )...and it is classic and will...

Congratulations on your first post!

And welcome, it’s always nice to hear from female members, not enough in my opinion! Your dilemma is indeed tough, I prefer the 5320G over the other choices you mentioned. However to throw you a curve ball, have you thought of the 5059G, limited edition, ...

Welcome! You wrote a very interesting first post :-)

By: damianp : March 25th, 2018-23:36

First I have to say, that my opinion is probably not the most elaborate one, because I prefer time-only watches (at most with a simple date) and chronographs, so I judge your three choices purely by aesthetics. Out of these three, I‘d go for the 5320g. It...

I learnt that if there are things in a watch I don't like

By: Patekphilippecollector : March 26th, 2018-05:39

Don't buy it and then go to an independent who will make a watch exactly how you want. Every watch has flaws and we all have ideosynchrosis ...I for one wanted a PC with instant change....Well never got that!!!!! I have the 5320 and of course enamel is be...

Thank you!

5320G Worth the Wait

By: Mean Solar Time : August 24th, 2018-09:13

The 5320G was designed to be a contemporary take on a "vintage" look ... essentially the advantage of modern mechanics with the old world charm of a lacquered dial and boxed crystal. Masterfully, Patek Philippe has combined the exact dial and metal to ach...

A very warm welcome to the Patek forum ! You have a lovely collection ! For the perpetual, given you desire to have one soon, I would suggest the...

By: GLau : August 24th, 2018-11:40

new Nautilus perpetual if you can get one from your AD. The color on the dial is perfect and the heft is great if you do not mind a heavy watch which doubles as a weight for exercising your arm. This watch is highly sought after and IMO holds its value. S...

Very very welcome to the forum!

By: 1WatchMan : August 25th, 2018-23:12

Nice first post! You asked for direct answers, so here are my thoughts regarding your three questions: 1. Which one? Given your own words, I would go for the 5320G. It's not perfect (for you, as you said), but you love it. And the price is not as high as ...
