Last Saturday I could finally pick up my 5212A at my dealer after he has presented the watch to some other customers. I´m wearing it ever since and my first impressions are 100 % positive! Here are some first thoughts which of course are all my personal o...
it is a practical complication & make sense to be in steel case only but your fear is absolutely right....we never know ! great pics too !! Best, mahesh.,
I was very much hoping they would release a steel Patek, so I'm happy this happened -- and in a very original way. Unfortunately we might see some people initially speculating on this new steel piece, but I'd be happy if it finally helps the whole Calatra...
The indices make me think about the 5960A silver dial, too. Well spotted! I am less fan of the date, but it doesn't really matter. A very good modern Patek. Well done, my friend. Best, Nicolas
I haven't a strong relationship with my local AD, however this would be such an easy watch to wear day in and day out. Perfect balance of casual elegance and quirky character. Wouldn't you know it, but my company operates on calendar weeks as displayed on...

Hope to one day have the opportunity to handle one in the real... thanks for taking the time to share this excellent review, beautiful piece! Happy to see they put the classic Calatrava buckle on this as well! ...
Definitely increases my anticipation and excitement about (hopefully) acquiring this watch. On the negative side it also increases my impatience. Lastly, CONGRATULATIONS on acquiring a very special watch! Best, patekova
Very well written. I reaaly enjoyed reading it. I, too am fascinated with this one. And I am one of those who could really use the weekly calendar. I think this is a clear winner in the current patek collection. I still need to see it in the real though. ...
Interesting remarks about the color of the dial changing from grey to beige, it sure does look great. A beautiful watch that keeps growing on me. The more I see it, the more I like it. Your pics helped too. I've enjoyed your review, thanks. Vte
The day and week changes are not instantaneous. I took the following photograph early hours of Monday morning. The date and week number has already changed and day indicator is between Sunday and Monday. ...
