They say imitation is the highest form of flattery. Seems they are all jumping on the Salmon bandwagon.
Any thoughts ????
Pateks success with white metal Salmon dials seems to be infectious.

Indeed, as I was saying earlier there seems to be this sudden, significant increase in salmon dials this year...
They are and remain beautiful, at least in most cases, but if now salmon becomes mainstream rather than being reserved for special occasions, I’m afraid it will soon lose its aura of exclusivity, and therefore part of its charm...We’ll see, I do hope bran...
Brands will do whatever creates demand and sales.
In my opinion Patek were one of if not the first to use Salmon and white metal on special very low production models and were very good at it. I have no doubt we will see more and more using this very popular combination but Patek are still the best at it...
It's a nice combination, nothing more nothing less.
And as you said it's nothing new. Rolex has used salmon dials for ages also. But it's nice to have more choices. Hopefully we see a little more expansion in the available colour palettes.
Honestly, I give you a lot of credit for the latest craze :)
No-one has photographed or detailed a salmon dial watch as much as yourself, IMHO (in recent years!). When you add to the fact that it is a 5970P, and the white chrono hand, it is even more special. I have definitely seen a correlation in an increase in t...
You could be right.
I do know that Patek were inundated with requests for a 5970 Salmon following the London Exhibition which I am sure helped with their decision on the 5270p dial colour. M.
I think you are getting confused
The pink dial version is a 5970 in white gold and not platinum. Also, all 5970P have white chromo hands as well as the 5970G pink dial
Hey and let’s not for get actual salmon.
Sorry, I don’t have a salmon dial watch and it’s close to lunchtime ...
nice comparison!
bothare really superb, not sure which one I prefer. Lange is, well, a superior machine and my fav brand...
Am I the only person that prefers........
......the original black dial Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon?
I'm loving salmon dials more and more and would like to add one to the stable at some point
But with the current trend, maybe it's not the right moment for me
Looking forward to my 5270P
I still have a year to wait, but the combination of platinum and salmon is just hard to resist. It will be my first platinum Patek and my first perpetual chrono from them.
Congratulations!
I own it and you will not be disappointed. Certainly worth the wait.
no worry
you called it salmon in your title but easy to make mistake. Just expressing my opinion as you did ask. I find the ROSE colour quite feminine. It would suit my wife.
Very different in the metal
I own this: and I tried the Lange at SIHH. The colour are quite different. While the 5270P is an absolute gorgeous shade of salmon (sorry if some think it's feminine, but it really is the best way to describe the colour), the Lange really look like the ro...
