This will be my pick when I’m after a Patek. Huge congrats and hope you get to wear the crap out of it. I own a few pieces with polished bezels (214270 mkII Explorer, GO seventies chrono and even a quartz Tag Link chrono). They’re all steel and they’ve all picked up lots of patina. Explorer is my daily and boy does it show. Very curious how your Patek is holding up and also interested to know whether you find yourself babying it when you wear it. I love the idea of consolidating all my pieces into one true high-end GADA sidekick - but keep wondering if a watch like 5226G is up to facing the harsh realities of daily wear, white gold and all. Would love to hear your experiences, thanks.

Snapping on a Rolex feels good. Durable, robust, bullet-proof, mainstream popular, and recognizable. Generally… upper middle class in the US. Patek Philippe is on the next level, on a different plane of existence. It’s when you go beyond being concerned about price, and focus on the beautiful aesthetics, intricate movements, complications, materials, and hand- finishing. Yes, after experiencing Patek Philippe, everything else tends to fade in terms of desirability.

Hi, I’m interested in both the 5226 and 5212. Hoping to try both on in NYC next week. How would you think about deciding between them?
@sc13 ай бұрын
I suppose I would just ask yourself which dial you prefer better. First, the color: Would a white dial or a charcoal dial fit better in your collection. Second, the dial styling and details: The 5212A has a classical dial design, but with a quirky font to the letters and numbers. The color is a soft silvery white. The 5226G mixes a field watch-type dial with touches of luxury, and a textured surface. It looks more modern to me. It can easily be mistaken for a Hamilton (see comments), so it gives me a sense of "private" Luxury enjoyment. The 5212A dial design is more unique (not many like this on the market). Third, decide if you really want the extra complications of the 5212A. Fourth, which material you prefer. Gold will wear heavier or more luxurious, while steel is lighter and more durable. Fifth, the case design of the 5226G is more detailed and sophisticated. Lastly, think about which strap options pair up more aesthetically with each watch. Tough choice. These are my two favorite watches. Today I am wearing the 5226G.

It's a total mystery how such a reputable brand was able to come up with such an ugly dial design. That "Textured charcoal gray" looks cheap, ordinary, almost vulgar. Should it evoke the tarmac? Street life in contrast to luxury? The numerals are too big. The date window should be either dropped completely or put at 6, but in any case it should be framed. WR of 30m is a bad joke. Positives: the case, and the movement. 5226G's inspiration, the ref. 565 “Night Watchman” is much nicer.

As I’ve said, until you have seen the dial in-person, I would reserve final judgement, because the pictures do not do justice. Ok with the numerals, thats a personal preference, but I think it looks balanced, and it’s not meant to be a diver watch, 98 feet of WR is plenty when I would only go swimming less than 6 feet. Yes, the case design is a big positive and under-appreciated until you look closely.
