Hands-on preview of 5231G

Apr 30, 2022,09:10 AM
 

Dear All,
It’s the first time for me to see a cloisonné world time in Patek’s preview of novelties at AD. The 5231G is more beautiful than I have expected.

1. The colour of the ocean is particularly vivid, with different shades of blue.

2. The map composition is also different from the former 5131G, with more emphasis in the Oceania.

3. One interesting new feature which caught my eyes is the colour rendition of the shore region. Instead of just having light blue around the land (as in 5131 and 5231J) it now shows the base colour of the dial around the land, mimicking low tides with water fading away.

The 5231G is so different from 5231J, they will definitely make up a good and complementary pair.

Wish my AD can help me get the allocation of this wonderful reference soon……

Have a great weekend, everyone.

Cheers, Henry

It has became more and more difficult to get allocation of these rare handicrafts/ sought after references. Wish the 12 years’ friendship with my AD can help 😅

You deserve it.

Great to see that the shorelines are now different 👍 Best of luck in landing this lovely enamel WT. Meanwhile please remember to complete the 5131 set 😉

Thank you, Peter. Keep my fingers crossed too 😊

I have ordered two out of the three world timers including the 5231G and will actually be travelling 10,000kms from Malaysia to the UK so that I can view it at my UK AD at a dinner on 25 May. But your photos have convinced me further of the beauty of that... 

Thank you, Prof. The cloisonné enamel of 5231G is truly attractive.

Despite the colour mixing of the land is less complex than 5131G, the map composition and different shades of blue of the new 5231G is exceptional. Wish I can share my wrist shot with our community soon 😊

it is a beautiful watch, cross my fingers for you

Thanks for sharing the pics here. Absolutely love it! And I believe you’re gonna get it soon 🙏🏾😁 Cheers

+1, I'm sure distribution will be consistent all of over the world, but definitely a very meaningful piece specifically for the *huge* SEA (and Oceania) Patek market! Hope you can be allocated one if you decide to apply! ;-)

Also interesting to note, unlike for the 5131, the 5231 J+G iterations have essentially covered the entire map....making any (possible) future R and/or P versions much more unpredictable! Enjoy.
