Patek Philippe

I am new to PPro, but have greatly enjoyed coming here form time to time and reading many great threads. I thought I would post something today as today I received a watch that is quite special to. Over the years, I kept coming back to the Patk Philippe 5205G black dial as my annual calendar choice. I loved the modern look of the date windows, case design was fresh and the moon phase was the icing on the cake.

Then came Basel 2013, and after seeing those initial press shots of the 5205 in rose gold with the black lacquered dial, I could not get that watch out of my head.

And the rest was history! Best.

Beautiful watch indeed.

Well only day one, so we shall see! It's so gorgeous that I don't need to tell the time!

Joking aside, readability seems fine.

Perfect choice of metal & dial colour. Black dial in Rose Gold case is striking as well as eye catching. Enjoy the beauty.
Cheers !

Nice choice of 5205R which prompt me to write again. Compared to first release of 5205G in my opinion 5205R looks with better readability and vibrant. It may be due to contrast of black dial colour and white 24 hrs nos on it. Sparkling Hrs marker and needle/s in RG appeals more. Love to share few 5205G picture in classic grey dial.

Anyway regardless of metal colour 5205 exhibits its class due to distinct curves she has.

Cheers !

I really loved the G and for over a year I was set on buying the black dialed G.... There was just something about the two tone dial that made me hold off for some reason. Readability may have been an issue and I did think the light gray (like your gorgeous watch) had better readability. Then when basel 2013 came around and I saw the rose gold I was blown away!

The readability on the RG and black dial combo are great in my opinion. Good opportunity to share some more pics here. Best.

Im very happy for you. Wear it often.
