Patek Philippe

This might interest some fellow members. As I am on the fence for the 5320G I was upon the news excited that a salmon dial would be offered for this watch. So at W&W I went straight to see it in the metal and was personally rather disappointed. The new di...  

That's not the shade of "salmon" I would want! So strange, Patek Philippe used to do such a great job in design!

I personnaly do not like them if they go too much into pink.

But don't have to take it as the AD will offer me the first that arrives and this will surely find another buyer quickly in case I decline

In your hands and on the wrist to make s fair judgement.

...just after it was released. I love the hands and the cream dial, but I really don't like the way the 5 and 7 markers are handled. So the dial color doesn't matter to me...

I also find this odd, there is no line for the other numbers

Salmon looks great on the 5270p but not so fond of it on this one or the 5172.

This release is "rose gilt" , I wonder what rhe 5270p is described as by pp. A lot of watches out there, can always try the vc tradionelle in platinum. Thanks for the pictures. - Kevin

The original dial fit into the vintage vibe with the ivory dial. But this absurd marketing strategy for Patek... salmon for 5320 + 5172... what.... I was rather disappointed with this release. This is so not patek-like. But... I am biased! ...  

apparently, they put salmon(ish) dials on the two most unpopular references, the 5172G and the 5230G, to make them more popular in the market. i believe that the strategy will fail, both watches look (on pics) poor and worse than their previous iterations... 

I’d like the layout of the dial however.

Now I really want to see this one in the metal. I'll be honest, the color in these pictures does not sing to me!

...  

But from Patek official website, the colour is almost identical as the one on 5270P. Perhaps the one showcased in W&W is prototype and may look different from the delivered ones?

my pictures show two different watches of those presented

with all the comments about the salmons needing to be seen in the metal, and in different conditions. My 3940g-029 veers from beige to bright pink depending on conditions (and I like to think, my mood!)
