My other Patek is a 5205G-013
The 5226 was surprisingly charming to me. It looked much better in person and had a very nice presence. So far, I have stayed away from fauxtina watches - and I think it is fair to say that the 5226 is leaning into that trend. But I cannot make my mind up about whether fauxtina is here to stay or whether we will look back on it the same way we already look back on the “heritage” brands of the 2000s, ie, heavy flannels, Japanese denim, etc.
Patek No. 2
This is one that I have always had my eye on and that has been on my wish list for a couple of years - although my AD told me that he has rarely seen these. I planned on the 5226 being my next Patek, but I got a call two days ago from my AD indicating tha...

And I realized I'm even more hypocritical...
I own a WorldTime too, and that has A LOT OF LITTLE TEXT all over the dial! Arguably even more than the 6000 and 6006. So who knows, maybe I'd learn to like the 5212. I personally find Cucinelli products to be way overpriced and only "normal" quality. But...

Oh I like this term! Fauxtina!
Fauxtina. That's the first time I've heard that one! Only time will tell for sure. But I know this much. I don't expect that I'll go chasing for it. And generally, I find good design, even modern good design, lasts a very long time. When I looked at the O...
Funny you say that…
Because I own the octo finissimo in stainless with a silver dial!!
Oh!
Did you post that before? My memory is a little off these days! An excellent choice!
