Assuming the case size, lugs, and lug screws are the same, in total, I have identified 9 differences, but depending on how you perform the count, there could be 19 differences !

1 - 5153 Beijing one has the Maison ☝️ engraved in the back
2 - Patek logo has thicker fonts ☝️ for Beijing
3 & 4 - Beijing has different tip and shape ☝️ for its hour hand
5 - Beijing has thicker railway tracks ☝️
6 - Beijing’s minute hand has a different shape☝️
7, 8 & 9/19 - no border for the date window of Beijing, “Swiss” instead of “Swiss Made” at 6 for Beijing, and printed numerals for Beijing vs applied (On the other hand, each numeral is actually different and counting in such a way will give an additional 10 differences instead of just one from print vs applied)
