Yes I looks good, especially the colors as the Mexican flag. Great for collector’s in Mexico 👌

Patek Philippe 5230G Mexico.
One 5230G I recently discovered, the Mexico 5230G. 40 pieces, launched in 2019. The differences? The inner 24 Hours Ring, with dedicated colors, and " Mexico " in Red, on the Cities Ring. And the wording on the case back... Photo Credit upon request as I ...
A must have if you are a fan of Patek WTs and from Mexico?
Otherwise, the differences seem small, although the red half of the 24 hours ring does add a bit of color. Glad that they didn't obscure the movement by printing text on the sapphire glass case back.
I have always thought they should do that.
I love the watches, but having my home town on it would be great. Also, even though a purist would not like this, the option to update the city ring if countries change there time zone. Once the ring does not represent the true time, it’s no longer functi...
I like this iteration, it’s ref. 5230G-022 announced last year to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Patek’s relationship with its distributor in Mexico City, where there are three ADs.
However, there have been, over time, many special WT editions dedicated to particular cities or countries, so aside for its interesting dial, frankly I don’t think it’s a piece with a special collectible value...Either you have a personal connection to th...
Just noticed something. The first three pictures show Sao Paulo as UTC-2, although it is UTC-3 like Buenos Aires (which is also included).
The last dial shot however has Sao Paulo replaced by S.Georgia, so the error is corrected. A further difference between the dial versions is that some city names have been abbreviated in the 'corrected' one. I imagine this must have been discussed before....
Getting lazier and lazier...doesnt seem the even changed the
Guilloche colour.. smattering of red...call it LE...sell like hot Cakes
Welcome to WPS, and thanks a lot for another nice example! Do you have any wristshots of this model?
This is perhaps a less known LE, done last year on the occasion of Bauer's 125th anniversary. Bauer is of course a well-known jeweler in South America, and the owner of the only Patek ADs in Colombia (two, both in Bogota). I believe only 10 pieces were ma...
Wempe Paris recently lost its license, so the (Patek-owned) Salon is really the only possibility in all of France.
Obviously there must be a good reason for this unusual choice — if Patek ever decides to, they could open as many ADs as they please. As you were saying earlier, perhaps historically France has been more focused on other brands? Somehow, numbers must indi...
Wow, even worse than I thought. Did not even know about Wempe losing their license...
And I also agree that a boutique or AD in the Côte d'Azur (Cannes or Nice) or Monaco would be amazing, especially for me since Cannes would be 15 - 20 mins from my golf club 😄😉
Oh my word...sadly even more boring....its seems like PP didnt really want to do anything than the absolute minimum on this...maybe it will just be a
Strap change next....bit of a slap in the face for the retailer to be frank..if you compare to say the Hamilton Inches
Hi Nicolas, IMO the differences between this "Mexico" version is quite stark because of the ...
bright red on half of the hour ring and the green hour markers from 7 to 18. For a WT crazy guy like me, I could spot it (being not a regular version) a mile away.
