One day Patek will harness the ability to match the date window background to the dial like Seiko and many others. Very awkward given it's 2026, and even Rolex knows "a new century begins".
Well, we know where PP is going, though to be fair, their elderly clients with bad eyesight surely give thanks. The young guys like Zuck wearing RG and Brett, Mr. Wonderful and his FPJ collection, Rexhep Rexhepi, tech geeks like me and MB&F, etc.
Even longstanding brands like Rolex are saying in 2026, "A new century begins."
+1 ...5227 looks incomplete (design wise) with the white date background, most especially with the contrast of the salmon dial and dark hour markers
It really sticks out on this version.
The 5249R-001 is my favorite release of this year's edition, across all brands.

The ladies variations are very lovely and classy...
...and could work with men as well... The men's with date is also great...
