I really like the piece and seriously considering getting one. I was told blue enamel dial is harder to make than the black so that could reflect the slight price increase.
With regards to paint and ultra high finish cars then black is the most difficult colour to do due to it's lack of forgiveness for blemishes. I assume enamel is the same?
He didn't say black dial was easy to make. I think traditionally Patek has produced less blue enamel dials compared to black and white dials. 5205R-010 and 5227G-010 have black lacquered dials and the blue dial of 5205G -013 is not a lacquered dial.
Which was 1J, 2G, 2 R and 1P....thatβs roughly every 2 - 3 years....so ignoring the fact that PP had way more AD a few years back we can work on 400 AD that received a minimum of say 5-6 watches and that excludes the Salons where the whales hang out!!! Ju...
I think R was introduced in 2014 and discontinued in 2018 and overlapped with P for 1 year. There was no overlapping for R for 3 years so there could be more Rs out there compared to Gs. I also think we see a lot of 5231J. I was told I could get one this ...

Also interesting that the case is again platinum, while many would have probably expected a 5370R. Looking forward to seeing this one in the metal ;-) Cheers.
