Faced with a bewildering choice of annual calendars from the range, I chanced upon this model. After learning more about it here and elsewhere, I decided to take the plunge. My first regulator and PP.
Congrats, this is a great watch ! I had never liked it much until I got the chance to try it in the flesh at PP's salon in Geneva and it is a stunner ! Great choice !
This is one of my very favorites from Patek. Between the aesthetics, the functionality, and the advances in the movement, I think the 5235G really stands out.
I love its modern austere minimalist look. It fits comfortably on my wrist and wears smaller than I imagined. I often thought a lighter dial makes the watch look larger but not this. The brushed finish on the dial is a delight (I flirted briefly with the 4947). My current sacrilegious thought is whether to switch to a deployant clasp.
