Hi my 5053 seems to be developing "spots" resulting some discolouration along the edges of the dial. Does your 5053 has similar issues as well?

I don't see them on your picture
but anyway, discoloration dots are certainly not normal on a modern dial. I would suggest you to show it to a Patek retailer to ask for what's possible considering the age of your watch etc... Keep us informed. Best, Mark
