Wonderful, thanks a lot Nico! I had to go teaching exactly when everything was being uploaded on the Patek site and look at all that happened in an hour!! :-)

First reaction: beautiful! I'm just a bit disappointed that the theme is exactly the same as the 5131J, but I'll be curious to see this piece in the metal with all details (I'll see it at some dinner in Italy on May 24, hopefully with the other rare handcrafts, but it's very unlikely for me before then).
The case looks more elegant, which is a general feature of the 5230 in my opinion. The price that you quote is also fair, with more than 50k euros less than the 5131P. Now I just have to win the fact that I don't like YG...
I'm also looking forward to seeing the rest of the rare handcraft collection this week -- they'll hardly be able to surprise me more than last year with Boccadasse but I'm always optimistic with Patek!
Thanks again for posting this beauty!
