Icon20 5396R-015 blue dial vs. 5396G-011 white dial

Dear Y'all,

I dwelled a bunch between 5205G and 5396R both blue dial. At the end 5205G won.

But i have not been able to forget the 5396R blue dial or the clean design of 5396.

So, what do y'all think of 5396R-015 blue dial vs. 5396G-011 white dial on their own merit?

Appreciate your pictures if you have either, or both.

Have a good day.

Definitely the blue dial with the baguettes. To me the most beautiful Patek AC. Love it.

Blue with baguettes is really nice and has wrist presence but I kinda like the white better since it is more low key.

If you are going Patek blue dial with diamond baguettes, why not go 5170P?

I like the G. I think the white gold and white dial just looks like a proper dress watch. You have a gotten a number of blue dials lately, haven’t you?

For any watch with moon phase in general, I believe light color dials really brings out the moon phase.
The blue is nice, but I feel the moon phase gets lost in the darker color

I love the 5396R, very very close to pulling the trigger on it.

Modern case style, rose gold, beautiful blue and i don't mind the baguette diamonds at all.

My vote is for the 5396 but I am biased. Just picked this up last week:
