Personal preference but I think it looks OK. The salmon dial and centre second is already a more sporty look. The blackened indices and hands, although not “traditional” for this style of watch, does stray away from the overall vibe it’s going for I think
5227G salmon
Managed to try this at my AD, am surprised they already have it I find the hands and hr indices too intensely black, same as the 6196P salmon.. not very convinced ...
Too big
I am very sad that Patek has increased the size of almost all it’s watches in the last years. There is almost nothing I would buy in the current lineup. If this or the 6196p were in 37 mm (the 6196 almost in 36.5 since it wears large) I would buy it in a ...
Agree with Krinck, wish Patek would find a way to stay 40mm or under, even for complicated pieces like the 5270
I have a hard time envisioning a 41mm Patek aging well.
I think a lot depends on the
Case design eg 5070s wear much smaller than the actual 42mm due to the unusually thick bezel and claw like lugs.. another case is the 5711/12, 40mm but I feel it wears like a 38mm being lugless and having a thick bezel
I think this 5227G
wears smaller than prev 5227s as the previous ones had a thinner bezel.. I don’t have an issue with the size for this version, but I am more used to large watches
I actually prefer this case to the 6196
I find the 6196s lug width to be too wide for a 38mm case..
IMO the white disk for the date is to
highlight the number so that it can be seen clearly.
Eh...
It's OK. I don't understand why Patek 'messes' with such great DNA. Not a whole lot needs doing here. Why the odd-shaped hands? They aren't quite right, are they, on a Patek? The movement, so, so, so pedestrian on such a watch. The date wheel in white... ...
