the blue color is different between 5100 & 5200.
there are some purple colors in the 5100 dial & I do not like it at all.
Huge fan of tonneau, tank and shaped watches and just 'discovered' the 5200G which ticks all my boxes! What is the general consensus on this piece, movement, etc.
I'd be keen to hear the forum's views on this watch, especially as it relates to the quality and stability of the movement, etc. To me, the 8 day movement is perfect, as is the black hands and indices on a light dial, which I love in a watch for absolute ...
Hi Douglas, This watch with its 8 day movement is ...
engaging because it would take you a while to wind it up. The shape is unusual and if it really sings to you, then it is a good fit. The rectangular movement fills the case nicely, representing an attractive back side. Good luck with your decision.
i love this watch
rectangular watches never seem to hold up on the secondary market making this one a relative bargain. i kind of like the white more than the blue. i've come close to pulling the trigger many times. does wear a big chunky.
I never tried
A bargain, that sounds good. It fits Fabricio’s wrist well, so why not more friends? I watched a GP rectangular watch today, and while u speak about the secondary marked, i saved an Ulysse Nardin Michel D’angelo on ch24. For 3k and a bit, full set it much...
love my 5200G blue dial
This model is one of my favorite: Art Deco case blue dial as only PP can do it instantaneous day date change ++++ 8 days PR very nice calibre, even if only 1 plate instead of 3 bridges on 5100s not too often seen on any wrists LOL You will enjoy yours

The 5200G is technically far superior than the 5100
Instantaniously changes of day and date: a very, very rare property of Patek watches!
in my opinion....
... I feel the 5200 dial a tad busy for my liking. If given a choice, I'll still pick the 5100 which is not only limited edition but also using housed with a 10 day power reserve movement.
Like it...
...but can't shake the thought that Patek found strong inspiration in the Reverso 1931 models released a few years prior in terms of the basic dial design
Tried both variants. Wears extremely well on my 17cm wrist. Its rare, not expensive to get and a very nice complication too.
My only point: the white dial is a bit boring, blue not that legible. It has nicer proportions then the 5124 because its wider lug to lug and looks more art deco that way. I would buy it!
Tried it on: big, yes but still very wearable
That is a very, very interesting Patek for bargain secondary market prices! Instantaniously changing date and day displays are quite rare in Patek watches. It is a cool watch!
