Patek Philippe 5124G...
I've found my grail watch. I think this watch is absolutely beautiful. I'd like to go try one on in Toronto, but the employees at the Patek dealer would probably throw me out of the store. At MSRP $22,500 USD, one day I may actually be able to buy one, maybe when I retire 40 years from now and the canadian dollar quits tanking...

The great thing about that watch is that it looks really similar to the 5101P - and that watch is worth over a quarter of a million samolians. Beautiful watch - however, when I tried it on, I found it's shape a bit uncomfortable for me. If it works for you, though, it's a gorgeous timepiece!

It's a droolworthy watch, with a tried and tested movement inside, wonderfully finished inside and out, and the shape, while unique, happened to fit me quite well.
I tried it on back in May and man oh man. |

Don't be so hard on yourself. I'm sure that the staff at your PP AD will only be too happy to show you the watch & many others. I have visited several AD's and though I may never have bought anything I have made some good contacts as well as friends.

I have found the PP AD's more than eager to pull out everything thing and anything and let me try them on.
The worst they can do is say NO.

John, in answer to your question.
I believe that the dial colour is called "Salmon Pink"

Beautiful dial colour ( I'll also go with the "Champagne Rosé" )
...and that Guilloche patterned subdial is a lovely touch Cheers
