Picture problem is solved ...
by me, after spending some time on Sunday morning. Hope you don´t mind, but it looks much nicer like this ;-)
It is very nice to see how different the dial of your 5270G looks in different light, but anytime it looks beautiful.
Thanks a lot for sharing your very nice trip to the "heart" of Patek Philippe! I have done it before, but could do it again, again and again 
Best,

Patek Philippe Geneva Trip - 2013
I wanted to share one of the greatest experiences of my life, as one of fifteen collectors from around the United States to be invited by Patek Philippe for a week in Geneva to tour everything that is Patek Philippe. Patek flew us all Business Class to Ge...
Thank you so much for sharing...
... what a class from Patek to offer such a treat. How hard did it make you feel like buying a watch during that trip ? And which one ? Didn't they show you more exclusive things like 5950, 5208, 5213, 5216, ....?
We saw everything..
You name the reference.. we saw it! I was so close to pulling the trigger on a few pieces at the Geneva Boutique.. I had to restrain myself. Although when I got home yesterday the hunt was on for a 5131!
and its the only one you shouldn't hunt...
... and wait that Geneva gives it to you :) Most models you can find and some at a discount, but this 5131 has a premium that is just too high. What do you think of 5204P?
I agree..
But there is just something about that dial which mesmerizes me on the 5131. The 5204 was beautiful, fit very well surprisingly! However, the dial is basically identical to my 5270 so after thinking last night it is probably not the next piece for me, as ...
WOW... I am filled with envy while reading...
Thank you for sharing. It is people like you who takes the time to share that the rest of us can enjoy.
Thank you for the Awesome Post!
I was wondering how you felt about the new dial for the 5204 Perpetual Split in person? A little bit modified from the original blackened hands and indices version... C
I loved it!
Much more captivating in person! Extremely crisp, legible and symmetrical.. White indices mesh well with the creamy white background. It's basically the same layout as my 5270, so I really enjoy the dial. Its either the 5204 or a 5131 for my next!

bulliondesk, Thanks for sharing. Unfortunately, you used PhotoBucket and exceeded your bandwidth allocation. The photos are gone. You could use our FREE uploader in future, then the photos will be permanently on view. Regards, MTF
I was so looking forward to reading your report.....
And seeing the photos :( I know that you would have had an amazing time, if my visit was anything to go by. :)

Sorry for the delay everyone!
I just subscribed for more bandwidth! My pictures should be working fine now. Appreciate the help during the delay Oliver!
Thank you again!
This was my first time I was really able to capture the 5270 in some great lighting. It's quite amazing how the dial seems to just come alive!
Hi Oliver, thank you very much for your review and lovely....
pictures. Did you know that the "Horloge Fleurie" has the longest seconds hand in the World? I believe that this article will DEFINITELY encourage US and dear Pplater to go and fish in other waters! Cheers Francois
Thanks Oliver for fixing the photos and to the OP.......
For a marvellos report. What an amazing time you had. The Mandarin Hotel is were we stayed on our visit. And I totally agree with you in regards to the Boutique, it is a gorgeous shop and it gets better the higher in the lift you go ;) :) I love the split...
Thank you!
Oh yes, that 5th floor view is quite stunning! We saw the 6002, incredible piece! Thinking of moving to Geneva.. ;)
Thanks for the great write up and picks, sorry I missed you!
I got very sick the morning of the reception at the boutique and couldn't make it that evening. :-( Hope we have a chance to meet in person at a local GTG someday. Cheers, TM
Thank you Thomas!
Sorry to hear that. Looking forward to meeting you at a GTG one of these days. Feel better!
