Thank you!
So much for your input. I remember when this watch came out a couple of years ago, it was HIGHLY divisive. People really liked the watch or they did not like it at all. Two years ago, I felt that it was as close to a “Classic Perpetual Calendar” as we may ever see done with “Modern Build Quality”. Certainly Patek will make thousands of the 5320. Part of my thought is that if I wear it on a daily basis, and it gets damaged, I will not have harmed an “historic relic” , i.e., a 3348, or a 3450. I look forward to hearing what our community has to say.

Patek Philippe 5320g
Hello! What can you good people tell me about this watch? I know it had its debut in Basel back in 2017. As things stand today, is the 5320 a “Popular” timepiece?How is it as an actual, practical timekeeper? Has it been well received? I see a bunch of the...
I'll kick things off...
No personal experience, I am sorry to say. I love this piece. It's a throwback classic. Love the raised 5-minute dots, and the syringe hands. I think I've seen white and off-white dials? The off-white egg shell color completes that vintage vibe. More expe...
I believe it’s only the off-white (cream) dial...

As rhetorical as it may sound (and be), in the end I believe it's entirely your call -- first and foremost based on whether something "clicks" when you feel the watch on the wrist.
Having said this, I do like this piece more than not, especially the dial, that I find just stunning in that cream color. It stands out, IMO, among most other Patek PCs, save the 5740. On the flipside, I'm not particularly into PCs, and while I've noticed...
I can tell you a quick strap change makes the 5320 into
...an excellent sport (looking) watch!👍 ...
Yes!
That’s pretty cool! I am more of a “Dress Watch “ guy myself, but that change of strap does make a HUGE ( and very interesting )change .
Where did you source this strap?
Watch looks amazing with this addition, blends perfectly with the dial.
HODINKEE
It’s the Aged Hunter Green leather from the HODINKEE shop. Just keep in mind, you’ll be using a little bit of MacGyvering skills to cut the leather so it can accept the white gold Patek spring bars. Not tough at all but something to consider. I think the ...
My personal feeling.
I don’t own it but a friend of mine does, so I got to play around with it in real life. It’s a really beautiful watch. The combo of the Arabic numerals, the cream dial and the seringue hands is truly amazing in the art deco case with the beveled lugs. The...
It's a great watch ...
... on the wrist. The boxed-form sapphire crystal covering the cream-colored lacquer dial successfully creates the warm vintage look that Patek sought to achieve.
THOSE
Are some great pictures. Thank you Karlstumke. Do you actually own a 5320? You must. How do you feel about the potential of the 5320 as a “Daily Wearer”?
I wear mine almost daily as u can see from
The date in the last pic. This watch had both the 5327 blue the FPJ QP as finalists but I thought the 5320G was so ugly and unusual and so against the purist view (stamped case, lume hands, 40mm) that I had to have it ...
Go with the heart. That's what I did!
I found one at my local boutique and got to try it on. Took me a while to decide and by the time I had it was done. Now have one on order should be arriving June or July. Its very wearable in the sense that it isn't heavy and sits quite flat, which is ess...
I have one since november 2017
And i love it ... I almost left my nautilus in the safe since i have it. One thing already said, change the strap to something else than the brown one ... blue for me and it works very well ! This makes an half sports / half dressy watch that you can wear...
You Guys Are Great!
I knew that if I put it out there, some of you would respond. Overall, it sounds like a very positive response to the 5320! In 2017, there was some very negative as well as positive energy being directed at this particular watch. For me personally, the 53...
It wears much smaller then 40mm watch though
I've had a chance to see it in metal in Caribbean a few month ago. It's gorgeous, but a lot of ppl might perceive it as a cheapest PP perpetual, so you gotta "discount" that into your decision. All the best! (Either way)
I have it on the black strap
It looks really big in the photo but actually it wears small for a 40mm since the case is so pleasant and directs your eye to the dial. I love this watch. There have always been about 30 for sale worldwide at any given time but that is to be expected and ...
