Humm, being a Patek fan and all, I can't warm up to these.
First of all, it's the dial. I haven't seen in person, but in pics, the dial doesn't look sophisticated. It looks clunky chunky to me.
Thanks for sharing, but the whole design package to me seems very plain and ordinary.
Actually, the clous de Paris side gives the watch some pizzaz worthy of a Patek. That I like.
Hi 👋 all, Saw these two pieces as
display only and not for sale 😔 , but hey, at least I got to see, inspect and put on my wrist(s) ! 😃 The dial texture is very interesting ! The travel time annual calendar is also very lovely with the Clous de Paris on the sides of the case. 👍 Both are ha...
I love the 5226G Gordon
surprisingly even at 40mm, it fitted me well. I blame the lugs for that!
You know me Gordon!
Someone is always guilty But I have tried on 39mm Pateks that have worn too large so it was a pleasant surprise that the 5226G fitted me well. Hopefully mine will arrive later this year - hopefully!
Thanks Gordon but
these days I will only believe that I have been allocated a watch when the AD informs me that it has arrived.
Both of these models are certainly unique, both for PP and the industry in general
Personally, though, I think the clous de paris on the case flanks is out of place. These really aren’t meant to be dress watches in the formal sense imho
Thanks for weighing in ! For me, it is fine to
have Clous de Paris on a non-sports watch. For example, 5531 also has the similar pattern. ...
Saw them a year ago
And still don’t like the dial at all - surprised about their popular….
I’m madly in love with the 5226G
It took me some time and I was mostly disappointed on all Patek releases for 2022 to be honest. I liked this one but couldn’t understand why they didn’t have the new Calatrava movement in that one with the double barrel system which seems highly sophistic...
An early congratulations to you !
Please share wrist shots and owner’s review when ready !
Absolutely!! Will do.
But the list is probably not so quick. I need to get A, B and C first + the unexpected D and E eventually 😂 If you’re looking for a good review go to
I really want to love the travel time…
…But I feel like I’d struggle with seeing the text for the month/day indicator
My aging
eyes 👀 agree with you. The dial layout is clean, irrespective of legibility of information 🤣

Thanks for sharing your thoughts !
If you get a chance, please view the dial in the metal and then share your thoughts again.
I will, as I am curious to see them in person
I guess like in your case, I will have to see "samples" instead real ones. I wonder which of the 2 I prefer. I plan to go a PP dealers on Friday. I will let you know if I find any to see.
