They say imitation is the highest form of flattery. Seems they are all jumping on the Salmon bandwagon.

Any thoughts ????
Pateks success with white metal Salmon dials seems to be infectious.

Indeed, as I was saying earlier there seems to be this sudden, significant increase in salmon dials this year...

They are and remain beautiful, at least in most cases, but if now salmon becomes mainstream rather than being reserved for special occasions, I’m afraid it will soon lose its aura of exclusivity, and therefore part of its charm...We’ll see, I do hope bran... 

Brands will do whatever creates demand and sales.

In my opinion Patek were one of if not the first to use Salmon and white metal on special very low production models and were very good at it. I have no doubt we will see more and more using this very popular combination but Patek are still the best at it... 

Yes this one is lovely! [nt]

It's a nice combination, nothing more nothing less.

 
 By: Jay (Eire) : January 18th, 2019-04:12
And as you said it's nothing new. Rolex has used salmon dials for ages also. But it's nice to have more choices. Hopefully we see a little more expansion in the available colour palettes.

Honestly, I give you a lot of credit for the latest craze :)

 
 By: ik2000 : January 18th, 2019-09:08
No-one has photographed or detailed a salmon dial watch as much as yourself, IMHO (in recent years!). When you add to the fact that it is a 5970P, and the white chrono hand, it is even more special. I have definitely seen a correlation in an increase in t... 

You could be right.

 
 By: Miles_151 : January 18th, 2019-09:15
I do know that Patek were inundated with requests for a 5970 Salmon following the London Exhibition which I am sure helped with their decision on the 5270p dial colour. M.

I think you are getting confused

 
 By: guruvandergullik : January 20th, 2019-08:18
The pink dial version is a 5970 in white gold and not platinum. Also, all 5970P have white chromo hands as well as the 5970G pink dial

Salmon dials

These do NOT suck !!!

Hey and let’s not for get actual salmon.

 
 By: Wristenthusiast : January 18th, 2019-11:18
Sorry, I don’t have a salmon dial watch and it’s close to lunchtime ...  

Looks delicious.

 
 By: Miles_151 : January 18th, 2019-11:20
Enjoy. M.

Now I'm hungry

 
 By: Spartacus : January 20th, 2019-12:09
Perfectly cooked

nice comparison!

 
 By: Alex83 : January 18th, 2019-13:08
bothare really superb, not sure which one I prefer. Lange is, well, a superior machine and my fav brand...

Am I the only person that prefers........

 
 By: Conkers : January 18th, 2019-15:27
......the original black dial Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon?

I'm loving salmon dials more and more and would like to add one to the stable at some point

 
 By: 1WatchMan : January 19th, 2019-09:30
But with the current trend, maybe it's not the right moment for me

Looking forward to my 5270P

 
 By: fallanden_ch : January 20th, 2019-05:03
I still have a year to wait, but the combination of platinum and salmon is just hard to resist. It will be my first platinum Patek and my first perpetual chrono from them.

Congratulations!

 
 By: David_S : January 30th, 2019-03:40
I own it and you will not be disappointed. Certainly worth the wait.

Feminine

 
 By: guruvandergullik : January 30th, 2019-01:18
For my taste it is pink and feminine. I guess we all are different

Agree

 
 By: guruvandergullik : January 30th, 2019-02:35
And real man would not describe something as "salmon" that is Pink.

no worry

 
 By: guruvandergullik : January 30th, 2019-03:12
you called it salmon in your title but easy to make mistake. Just expressing my opinion as you did ask. I find the ROSE colour quite feminine. It would suit my wife.

Very different in the metal

 
 By: David_S : January 30th, 2019-03:38
I own this: and I tried the Lange at SIHH. The colour are quite different. While the 5270P is an absolute gorgeous shade of salmon (sorry if some think it's feminine, but it really is the best way to describe the colour), the Lange really look like the ro...
