Patek Philippe

I have always mixed emotions with this one. At the end, I don't know if I like or not. I still think that the empty zone on the left is a bit disturbing. But the 5235G has a kind of cold charm which doesn't leave me indifferent. Fx...  

The watch itself is quite interesting. However, in 2003 I bought a VC Regulator. I never learned to see the time from that without stopping to think. "It does not make any sense to teach an old dog any new tricks". Best, Kari

that it is difficult to tell the time on the reg dial Julian

Why this reference is called a regulator ? That uncomfortable space on the left, it could have been used somehow. Maybe less is more in this case.

In their workshop the watchmakers used to be setting the clock they were working on using a very accurate central clock (soemtimes called the "mother" clock) installed somewhere in the room. They were the more precise existing clock (except Marine clocks ... 

I still have a personal problem with brushed dials but the watch appeals to me very much, especially because of the 260 housing elements of the Advanced Research program. Thanks for sharing Fx. Cheers, Mark

but I hear nothing from the AD. I find the watch clinically attractive. It is almost surgical. I like that. There is a clean and neat aesthetic to the dial. I like that. This will never be a popular or big seller. I sort of like that too. One niggle. As a... 

Does not detract from the watch The brushed dial adds to the uniqueness and the enamelled letters stand out I would persevere with the ad I love mine Julian

You're not very patient Joe! More seriously I think it is a very good choice, beside the front side, the relguator display, it houses the fantastic 31-260 micro rotor caliber with Pulsomax and Spiromax. Hope you'll be able to share many pictures when you ... 

Instant classic

Is the dial finished the same way as the 5550?

No message body

... as 5550P and 5270G, except that the deepness of the brushed dial feels different on each piece. 5235 being the most extreme, and the 5270 the smoothest

the dial looks just wonderful, it has a new movement , and it carries the history of a regulator clock in Patek. My watch maker friend who owns one just love it ! I tried my friends' 5235 on my wrist several times and the only issue for me is that it take... 

I agree with you that regulators are harder to read, and sometimes the dial arrangements are very "eccentric". I wonder if some dates, power reserve indicators and so on are added just to fill that empty space? But this one I like a lot, and I could overl...  

I love it
