Patek Philippe

Happy New Year to you all. This 5230G simply speaks to me in all the languages that I know. It’s gotten more or less all the available wrist time since November 2018. My personal grail. ...  

Well with the 5110 and 5130. The only hesitation is the bezel for scratches, but I think the propositions, dial and hands are winners. Best,

So far I haven’t had problems with scratches on the bezel (knock on wood) and I don’t think I take particular care on a daily basis

Hi - yes, the photos were taken in at Lake Come in Italy, one of the world’s true wonders. It even eclipses the 5230 to be honest... ;-)

I love the hands and the design in the middle of the dial. Happy new year

...  

I’ve kept it on this one since I made the switch.

Yes indeed. I have a number of watches that I am passionate about, including a 5711 and a 5065, but they have all been put on the back burner at the moment. The 5230 has even put a damper on the ever lurking looking out for the next piece in a way none of... 

I am really happy to hear this beautiful piece has provided that much satisfaction. You have some other great pieces, too, so maybe it’s just time to enjoy them all and relax

It’s not the easiest watch to get a good shot of, but it’s worth the effort when a good one happens.

But it’s sad that Patek decided to take out Rio from the city ring. Rio used to be an important city for Patek, including with in-store boutique in partnership with Gondolo for decades.
