Bought this watch back in 2013/2014.. unbelievable how fast time flies by.. it has been almost 8 years! I have been using this watch very sparingly but totally stop using since 2017 and it has been sitting in the safe. I dug it out early last week.. I fal...

Randomly ...

Thanks for sharing this beautiful 5235G James, no doubt a superb Patek -- in fact, in my view one of the most original offers of the current Complications catalog! PS: Love your second strap choice ;-) Keep enjoying.

Thank you FabR! 🍻

👍👍🥂

Hi James, So glad that you are again in love with your 5235G ! IMO, this watch is very...

Yes! IMHO this is a very special PP.. everything about it is “odd” .. even the frequency is unique at 23040 vph.. 🍻

Let’s not forget the Art Deco clasp

It has all the ingredients to become a future classic. PP 5711 less so. But only time will tell. Just my 2ct.

A great point -- it's definitely a huge bet, as the market works in complicated (and unexpected!) ways and this is not its current direction, but indeed this reference has *lots* of potential...perhaps when the steel sports hype is over, if ever? ;-))

Yes who would have thought.. simple steel sport are creeping close to grand complications territories. I am lining up a number of PP g. complication pieces this year. ✌🏻

+1, definitely a very good time to buy a grand complication -- Will be looking forward to seeing your next acquisition! ;-)

Yes.. Nautilus back a few years ago I bought all mine at a slight discount.. today’s market is serious out of control 😅

Love the color of the strap!

Thank you very much.. I am truly surprised it works well! 😄

The 5235 series encompassed all of Patek's top technology....

I have seen the R version.. I agree the very first impression is breathtakingly good.. the G is more like plain water.. doesn’t taste much but doesn’t taste bad either if you know what I mean 😆

I really like this reference a lot and would like to add it in the future. As for values, who knows 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️. The purple strap gives it a very cool contrast 👍

Thank you! I too am surprised how well it suit the watch. Much more playful otherwise a very sober piece. 😄

An underrated piece for sure!

Yes Thomas I will wear it more often.. 👍🏻

A Keeper for sure.

Looks great! Love that oem glossy blue strap too! 👍🏻

Terrific second picture! ;-) Enjoy.

Hi james

You wear it well! That last shot, the case is sharp and crisp!

The details are very nice...

😂 .. I read the top sub dial only.. “guesstimating” the time 😉

Love this, beautiful piece and for me it has to be on the purple, makes it really stand out (but I am partial to purple straps ). Enjoy

Thank you! Ya the purple is not my usual pick.. this one is a winner 🍻

That purple strap is killer. Is it a PP?

Thank you. It is a custom leather strap. I can’t seems to locate a purple strap from PP’s boutique hence I went aftermarket. These are top quality possibly exceed PP’s standard. 😉

Thank you. If I may, who is it?

Fantastic watch and one say I hope to own one

which one would go to make place?

No idea right now...would have to think about

A great point -- it's definitely a huge bet, as the market works in complicated (and unexpected!) ways and this is not its current direction, but indeed this reference has lots of potential...perhaps when the steel sports hype is over, if ever? ;-))
