Hi Henry, The regulator is indeed an attractive reference !

In addition to the unusal lay-out, the brushed dial is mesmerizing IMO.
When it was first shown in the Patek magazine but before it was finally released, the 5235 created quite a buzz and I for one was excited about this new model. Somehow the excitement did not last for long after the launch and I also wondered what happened to the demand.
Looking carefully at your photo, I could imagine the dial being cleaner by eliminating the AC functions and taking away the date, thus creating a simple three-hands regulator dial. Also, if one imagines that this new design was housed in a steel case, it would rival the LE 5522 New York edition ! Thanks Henry for the post and the Sunday dreams it created for me !
