The price was too hard to refuse
I have a great relationship with my dealer. I asked him his best price, he said $29,000. Box, Papers, Sticker still on the clasp, I literally couldn't refuse.
It feels amazing on the wrist, I love how casual and almost sporty it is. It doesn't feel like I'm wearing an expensive precious metal watch haha.
*edit*
Just to expand on why this was added to the collection, I'm generally not an impulse buyer, but that doesn't mean I take long to decide to add a watch because I plan out what type of watch is next. It just so happens that a world time was at the top of my list already and I was just waiting the long game for one to reach market (around 2 years of sitting idly now). I'm on the waitlist for the new flyback 5935a, and I just made a decision that if I'll keep the one I like more out of the two. Currently, it's leaning heavily towards this piece haha.
A warm welcome to the Patek forum !
The basket weave pattern is mesmerizing ! IMO The WT function is useful and romantic. How did you come to this decision and how does it feel on the wrist ?

So would you still proceed with the 5935a when the call comes, or you’ve already decided on this 5230g?
I’m on the fence myself but I like your focused WT complication.
Yes I will proceed as I will follow the honey moon rule.
As I want to build a portfolio with the AD, I will purchase the watch and spend a good 2 months with it (my general honeymoon period). Afterwards, whichever I decide on is the one I'll keep, and I'll set aside the other to sell to a friend or dealer once ...
Congratulations, what ..
beautiful watch. I bought my PP about a week ago and I wear it everyday!
Many thanks!
I've seen your post on your new calatrava and it's a looker. Wear it in good health sir.
Wonderful, congrats!!
Is this model discontinued as it would appear from PP? Do you know?
yes
introduced 2016 & discontinued in 2022, both G/R replaced by P. Platinum version 2022-2024, this year maybe a J, who knows.
That is a beautiful, beautiful watch.
First shot is great. Congrats to this beyond any criticism watch!
It's all in the lighting.
I have to shamefully admit that my phone is far from worthy of photographing this piece haha. I hope to upgrade in a few months though I'm the type that thinks "if it ain't broke don't fix it".
Amazing shots of a beautiful reference! 👌🏻👏🏻
That's a version which is one of my all-time favorites, enjoy it in the best health! Welcome!
Beautiful reference!
Congratulations from another 5230G lover. Btw, during 2019 HK was replaced with Beijing to match the shifts on the political stage. ...
A true classic. I love this particular color combination.
I think it’s one of the most useful complications also. And it sounds like you got an amazing deal. Enjoy and wear it in good health.
