I personally think they made the wrong choice not discontinuing the 5270 with the salmon dial in platinum. If I had gone for it when offered I also would have been a bit annoyed that they introduced another dial colour after the salmon.
The 5231G is fantastic and will be popular in Asia given the dial. I also really liked the yellow gold version now sadly discontinued.

Salmon dials are very limited and generally very exclusive when it comes to Patek history. I've personally no issue that they continued the reference with a new dial colour. Salmon 5270p also seems to be doing very well on the secondary market despite the overall downturn.

I think the strategy going forward on the 5270P will be the specialty color dials. I wouldn't be surprised if they offered another dial on the 5270P and discontinue the green dial in a year or two.

Awesome news, I was lucky enough to try one on earlier this year and it completely won me over. It looked magnificent. If I could afford it I'd love to have one.

Technically you are correct but still all there are just great - have you seen them in the flesh ? Shots from the salon

Looking back, you could have bought the salmon 5270p for about 160K on used market for a pretty good while. Now it what, 250K. Hindsight as they say is....

Not a fan of a green dial on this reference. Too trendy, off classic and as said above, probably very easy to tire of it.
