Nice watch... but

amazing how 'forgiving' Patek collectors are... a smaller size existing model... wow! Shrug. Patek has conditioned their collectors to have the lowest expectations, IMHO. I guess if you look at my post history, you will see I am pretty critical of Patek... but if this were any other brand... it would only be normal posts... any criticism of Patek is usually viewed as 'extreme and personal' against either Patek themselves or Patek collectors... and very view acknowledge that this model is derivative of Zenith, blatantly. If it were the other way around, no one would notice, comment, or care. Or they would say Zenith is genius for nearly or essentially or hard to deny pretty much 'copying' Patek.

White gold with a discreet dark blue dial and in 37.5mm!! If I did not already own the 7234A, I would be placing an order for this latest release!

I have to agree with you! :-)

Thanks a lot Volker for sharing the news -- this is another interesting new entry in the catalog, that despite its 7xxx reference, at 37.5mm will also be of interest to many men!

Just note that the 7234G already features the updated price on Patek's site (I believe this is true all over the world), meaning that for a few more days people will see the 7234R with a lower MSRP, before it catches up to reflect the October 1st increase... 

Nice watch... but

your criticism were not accepted. Should you feel the same again in the future, please let me or Fab know so that we can mediate. IMO, a few brands such Patek, Rolex and AP have die-hard fans who will defend their brands to the end because these brands pr... 

I understand!
