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.

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

This is the nicest 5204 in my opinion

The tachymeter improved the aesthetics eg the hr indices from 10-2 isn’t awkwardly long now Chrono secs and mins are now Color matched Date fonts resized to be consistent with 27 and 5 and the leap year and day nite indicators moved to the subdials.. and

I completely understand your hierarchy here.

I’ve never tried on a 5004, but I’ve tried on a 5204 and the thickness didn’t feel right on my wrist. Best, Emmanuel

The new ref. 5204G-010

If I'm not mistaken, this is the second white gold variant of the Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar Split Seconds Chronograph ref. 5204 . The previous one was olive green (see below), the new one features a sunburst navy blue dial with red chronograph han

Great write up Gordon of a truly very special W&W for Patek. For me one of the very best in recent years, even going back to the Basel shows.

So many novelties to like/love, including the fabulous automaton, the ground breaking new Celestial (both in complications and design), daring and beautiful new dial colors (eg the lacquered dial 5270Ps), 5227G salmon, exceptionally sporty and beautiful b

For me the most aesthetically and technically exciting are the 5249R automaton, the blue and red lacquered dials 5270P and the new 5204G (love the blue/red).

The ultra thin Nautilus with iconic 240 movement and no date or second hand is quite interesting, but this is a “limited” (?) edition of 5,000 pieces….. yes, 5,000! Was hoping for a steel version…. Oh well. Need to see these Nautili in the metal and on my

Unmistakable Trend

6105G – fascinating technical concept, disappointed it's styled as an AP sports watch 5322G – nice (but everything is blue and green dials now) 5840P – very nice if you appreciate Cubitus (I do, didn't at first) 5249R – beautiful…at a very high price 7047

Well spotted!

The new split seconds perpetual calendar 5204G is to die for! Amazing! On the other hand, the new Cubitus perpetual calendar looks like a radiator I remember from my grandfather’s apartment.
