My First Grand Incoming!

I have initially wanted to add the 5327G given I have a weakness for blue dials, but having seen this R side-by-side with the G, I find the combined warmth of the rose-gold case and ivory dial utterly irresistible! I also like the scalloped lugs on this watch as it reminds me of the 5205 and 5227.

This is also my first watch with Breguet numerals. The leaf hands are very elegant and add to the appeal of the dial. The case is so slim with the 240 Q micro-rotor movement, it is almost the complete package to me. The standard strap, though, is a little too long for my wrist. As Patek no longer offers one-to-one exchange with a shorter strap, my AD has sent the original strap to a local artisan for shortening, which took 3 days but not an issue at all.

Last but not least, no more Feb month-end adjustment in future.

This purchase came with the cylinder that winds the PC.

I will be a little annoyed if a 5327P is released in the fall.

That is absolutely gorgeous. Great choice of rose gold + ivory dial, it's much nicer than the blue! I agree that the Breguet numerals on this piece are lovely!

Yes it's nicer than the blue, and this is coming from one who almost only collects blue watches.

Massive congratulations for this super piece! Enjoy...

Also not sure about the strap exchange policy your were mentioning. I felt more comfortable with a shorter strap and they exchanged and fitted it right away for free, it was directly at the PP Salon so maybe that is the difference.

Bravo again!

Thanks bro! It used to be the case but the distributor here has stopped the practice of 1-to-1 exchange sometime last year. It is the same for Nautilus links-1.5 link exchange which has also been stopped.

We don't see a lot of PC watch incomings here. But the 5327 is a great reference!

Congrats and enjoy your new watch
