Patek Philippe

Hi everyone, I could hold finally the 5227G with black dial lately and thought, in order to help you wait until Thursday, that I could share some pictures and one or two thoughts. I'll make an updated post about it later in the year from the one I already...  

Think this is my fav iteration of this ref. Thanks for posting!

I think that many will share your feeling. Thanks keks. Cheers, Mark

I like it very much. If Patek will add Breguet numerals, it should me on my wishing list ;-)) Thursday??? Thanks for this nice post Mark. A 5227G to be seen on wrist. Cheers, Patrickh

but in the mean time I would really think we would see a little too much of them and this may not be good as we may get fed up with them. I think it should remain rare (even if seeing a watch with such numerals in the wild will remain very rare anyhow). T... 

dressy dinner yes, but the Opera nowadays seem to become an activity only for the filthy rich in this neck of the woods Best Regards Edward

Those lacquered dial are not something we see that often in the collection. Cheers, Mark

Thanks for sharing Mark! All the best, Alex

Yes it is impressive in the metal, a very deep black and clean decoration. Thanks you Alex! Cheers, Mark

And I really like black dials in white gold watches! However, is it difficult to tell the time due to the reflections?

even if not easy to combine with many straps colors for people who like that. With rose gold or white metal, it definitely brings something very original to the watch. I must say I didn't focus on legibility as it is not a problem for me but I should have... 

I agree with Patrickh Breguet numbers would be beautiful - maybe for the Platinum version?

Best Kari

even if, as I said to Patrick, I would not want to see these numerals used in too many references (even if they won't be seen in the wild anyway because of their rarity). Platinum still to come, we'll see in the future! Cheers, Mark

Doesn't get any better for me ... unless it's a 5127R ;-)

I stand in awe each time I see any of both references on pictures.... Cheers, Mark

Such as the 5227R and 5127R. But this 5227G with black lacquered dial beats them imho! A perfect black tie watch plus the black dial and white metal can be worn slightly casual too I feel Thanks for the pics Mark! Cheers Robin

When considering watches, I must say I have different dial color choices considering the case style. However, for 2 or 3 hands watches I must say I like the idea of having it dressy thus rose gold (or eventually yellow for vintage). But this one is even d... 

it is satin-like but not as glossy as the 5227's. Furthermore, the fact the 5153G has a guilloché pattern in the center limits this effect as well. This being said, they are indeed very similar regarding the kind of event it will accompany you to. Cheers,... 

I went to have a look to the 5153G Black dial maybe 3 years ago and found it very romantic. The thing is that I love the case of the 5227 so much (in my top 3 favorite Patek case from the 3 last decades, which I reviewed here: www.watchprosite.com... 

To say the least - I find my 5227R an amazing piece of beauty and excellence. Cordially Mally

especially as I would love to wear a rose gold reference from time to time. So elegant and so charming... It brings this little warmth I like in colored gold. Thanks and congratulations Mally. Cheers, Mark

Great catch and a very elegant piece !

I would go for R I think but I see you like it too Cheers, Mark

in my view. It would look great with jeans on weekends. The black dial lets it fly under the radar which is also very nice.

The dial work is breathtaking in the metal for sure. Thanks Bob. Cheers, Mark
