Yes it is really beautiful.
Thanks for you comment Seconds!

A quick and small review of the Patek Philippe 5200G White Dial
By: Mark in Paris : June 11th, 2015-07:01
Gentlemen, I could handle the Patek Philippe 5200G White Dial recently and thought I could share with you my first thoughts about this quite recent version. It is a 32.4 x 46.9 mm Gondolo case housing a 8 days PR square caliber (28-20 with the Spiromax sp...
Not bad in white
By: drphileasfogg : June 11th, 2015-08:34
I would love a square Patek just for this gorgeous square movement (a bit of a change from the norm here) but the sizes of the square ones are a bit big for my wrist. Regarding the 5200s, well I find the dial too crowded for my taste – that said I remembe...
Square Patek
By: Mark in Paris : June 11th, 2015-09:38
It seems we are having the same appeal from these particular models... I guess indeed the fact that it brings something new is a part of the charm. I don't have a big wrist either and the size of a rectangular watch was also an issue for me. If I remember...
Quite nice but

I think 5124G is nicer. It is slimmer, more sober and much more affordable. Oh, I have ordered the blue 5124... Best Kari
Very nice but agreed they make better examples
By: tigerpac : June 11th, 2015-09:45
Dial gets a little busy but a very nice piece indeed. Odd thing to notice but the scales on the strap don't line up very nicely, like it wasn't belly scales but a cheaper part of the hide.
Very nice move.
By: Mark in Paris : June 11th, 2015-09:54
Since Patrick and Dave posted several pictures of this 5124, I'm really looking forward to see it in the metal. And I really understand your choice as even the movement looks very nice, congratulations Kari :) Cheers, Mark
A really beautiful watch.
By: TheMadDruid : June 11th, 2015-09:31
I do think that Patek makes the most beautiful shaped watches of anyone. Their proportionality, to me, seems always just right. I have owned a couple and, of course, every time I see one like this on a Forum or website, I wish to add a new piece; or get b...
I quite agree
By: Mark in Paris : June 11th, 2015-14:37
In that classical watches field there aren't many interesting competitors (even if I like Vacheron new Malte models and American 1921!). Concerning your 2nd thought I think I would think otherwise. It goes very well with a suit but I really think it would...
Yes , very nice gondolo.
By: geross : June 11th, 2015-10:12
Just a little too big for the wrist. My opinion. If only patek can make it a fraction smaller it would look better. To all those would be patek owners , buy what sings to your heart. Thanks for sharing the pics mark. Cheers! Geross
Exactly Geross
By: Mark in Paris : June 11th, 2015-14:39
What you say about what sings to one's heart is perfectly true. I would maybe take 1 or 2 mm off but I must say the size didn't strike me when I tried it on. I think I should have a second look when I can :) Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Cheers, Mark
5124 or me
By: watch-er : June 11th, 2015-12:32
I looked at the 5200 but it really is too big for my wrist and yours as well. I went with the 5124j with no regrets. I love the rectangles.
So, you're one of the happy few
By: Mark in Paris : June 11th, 2015-14:42
wearing a Gondolo! It looks quite different from the blue dial one (maybe more dressy an dclassical) but it is as beautiful to me. Do you have a little picture or a wristshot maybe? Wear it well :) Cheers, Mark
Nice Pics
By: watchmaven : June 11th, 2015-14:47
Nice pictures Mark.
Size
By: Mark in Paris : June 12th, 2015-06:51
The case may look a little to long and may not fit to everyone's wrist indeed. I follow your opinion as I also think the overall aspect of the watch seems nicely coherent. It is a nice offer for someone who is really looking for a shaped watch of this kin...
Late to th post
By: 4Js : June 12th, 2015-04:04
I enjoyed all the opinions. But in the end this is the one I love best ...
Well, this is for sure another beauty
By: Mark in Paris : June 12th, 2015-06:53
this very particular case side's shape as well as the very well balanced dial are a hit. You're a lucky owner! Have a nice week-end Joe. Cheers, Mark
Thanks Mark
By: 4Js : June 12th, 2015-07:48
What I find with this piece is that you get the poor man's 5070 blue dial color, and the applied numbers. A very balanced dial and case. The movement is just a beautiful form movement. Convenience of 10 days, the unique design of this case, splash of that...
Square movements
By: Mark in Paris : June 12th, 2015-14:24
I indeed saw quite many square movements but was usually disappointed. This reference is balanced and to the level is claimed after. Cheers, Mark
Poor man's 5070 blue dial colour?
By: dr.kol : June 13th, 2015-01:25
Do you think the blue in 5070 is so much better? I think your 5100G is about as perfect as it gets. Best, Kari
Kari, I agree
By: 4Js : June 14th, 2015-17:12
i have had mine side by side with 5070. Very close. And a whole lot of money saved too. I love this 5100g blue color.
I have ordered one
By: dr.kol : June 15th, 2015-02:36
With made-to-measurement straps and a WG folding clasp. This new 5100 is very slim, readable and even dressy. It is a wonderful watch. I had it on my wrist on Saturday and it was difficult to give it back. But soon I'll get mine. Before that are just 2-3 ...
I'm with you for sure
By: Mike H : June 12th, 2015-14:39
5100G is a killer, I just love it, specially in G version with htis wonderful blue dial. Absolutely wonderful! Wear it in the very best of life, and enjoy this beauty a lot ;-) Best, Mike
Stunning Mark
By: Seconds : June 13th, 2015-19:26
The 5200G-010 On the Patek site has a seconds subdial Is This the same watch or I cannot see the seconds hand? Thanks Seconds in time
It is the same one
By: Mark in Paris : June 14th, 2015-03:15
but the one I handled was stopped and the second hand is partly hidden under the date one. Yes it is really beautiful. Thanks for you comment Seconds! Cheers, Mark
Not so much a shape fan myself...but
By: Dylan T. Dutson : June 14th, 2015-19:55
This dial reminds me of a rectangle version of the 5960/1A, which I happen to adore. I would love to try this one on and see what the fit is like. Your photos definitely show it off well. Thanks for this!
True!
By: Mark in Paris : June 15th, 2015-09:10
The colors choice are very similar to the 5960/A: darkened metal, white dial, red dots here and there... I love the 5960/A (excepet the bracelet) so I understand your appeal for this reference, I hope you cn manage to try one. Thanks for chimming in Dylan...
Dream come true,
By: Dylan T. Dutson : June 16th, 2015-05:10
I was actually able to try one on a few days ago at the preview for Christies Wednesday sale. And ohhhhhh did it feel good haha! Here it is! Oh...and one of real, true dream watches. Obviously a 1518, the one that started it all. ...
