What’s your favourite 5205 dial in the current catalogue?

I’m thinking of a 5205 as my first Patek and looking for some advice

JorgeCCW · 16 August 2021, 05:24 AM

Black for sure

5205R-010 or 5205G-013, from AD.

JMac6 · 16 August 2021, 06:09 AM

5205G-013, although the black-r is great.

I wonder when these will be discontinued.

NYG1121 · 16 August 2021, 09:06 AM

why does the case for the blue dial look different? Or are they all the same?

CoveWatch · 16 August 2021, 09:17 AM

Really like the black on RG

All the same to my knowledge.

2nastie · 17 August 2021, 04:57 AM

I'm biased but I went with the Black Dial R.

The Blue G is a close second.

It depends what you are after. The G can allow it to be more casual vs any R material but something about this piece speaks volumes more with a warmer gold.

The White R is nice, but a tad too dressy for me (considering my small collection).

Patek_collector · 17 August 2021, 05:12 AM

i own the R with black dial and it is one of the best in my collection...

martinr · 17 August 2021, 09:58 AM

Black & RG

JMac6 · 17 August 2021, 11:18 AM

May be a twinge of bias, but I have to say the 5205 is up there in Patek’s most beautiful references (under, say, $125k). It’s a super unique design, very interesting case, just a really well done look. I like the blue, but the RG black dial is breathtakingly beautiful.

Ichiran · 17 August 2021, 12:18 PM

I like the gradient blue in the 013. I always like watches with blue dial.

macplee · 17 August 2021, 01:56 PM

The blue dial is not just BLUE - it is magically blue - i have blue sky dweller and blue AP RO those are blue - this patek blue is something else....magical

PatekSF · 17 August 2021, 02:44 PM

5205g-011 Beyer edition … now we’re talking …

MadSpaniard · 17 August 2021, 07:18 PM

Opaline white all the way. Black is nice although arguably more trendy and more fatiguing over time, also harder to read. The 5205 opaline white/RG combination is classic, elegant and timeless.

Of course, this is all just opinion. 5205 comes in different flavors specifically to ensure that whichever appeals to you is by definition the best for you.

Slumdogg · 18 August 2021, 05:33 PM

Definitely biased as I bought the G-013 a few months ago but it's barely left my wrist since

Beautiful pic.

I like them all. My favorite is R-001.

Black dial rose gold

sgwatch · 19 August 2021, 02:16 PM

I voted for the white dial. I was unable to read the black dialing most forms of lighting. I have not seen the blue dial version. The white dial is easy to read and more traditional

aj_tucker · 20 August 2021, 12:23 AM

For me, it's the 5205R-001 (white dial). It's the quintessential daily wear for a smart casual dresser. I don't own it, but have tried it on: from shorts and a t-shirt, to jeans and a sweatshirt / jumper, to slacks and collared shirt, to suit - it goes with it all. It's sleek, elegant, and truly timeless.

The 5205R-010 (black) is a more elegant, dressy piece, and the inky black dial is stunning in person. I prefer white dials generally, but I think a strong argument can be made for black.

The 5205g variants are nice, but the watch sings in rose gold.

aj_tucker · 20 August 2021, 12:25 AM

Thinking about this thread...I wonder if we'll see a 5205P at some point. That would be special!

Jack Cassidy · 22 August 2021, 05:10 AM

1) Black dial - I am biased as I own the watch and it is stunning. 2) Blue dial - as I love blue dials and own both the Daytona and Smurf with blue dials.

hypehorology · 22 August 2021, 09:34 AM

Rose Gold black dial is king!

navrolex · 22 August 2021, 09:40 AM

I just tried the watch and would definately suggest trying it on your hand as 40 mm was a bit smaller for my wrist, so now going for rg 5905 in the brown dial.

From the above definately rg black :)

Black on Rose is amazing but voted for Blue on White due to versatility. Very hard to dress down the Black one

Looks amazing. The white certainly appears to get the least love, but it certainly is still one of the most beautiful watches I’ve seen!

hypehorology · 23 August 2021, 12:49 AM

Any idea if the RG will be discontinued soon? Looks like the old grey dial was an 8-year cycle, so assuming similar it'll be over 8 for the RG (also COVID consideration).
