That's pretty cool, I have looked at mine side by side and not noticed that in the past.
Guess i'll need another one. |

yes this was confirmed to UK AD's yesterday.
the dial will be slightly tweaked so that there is a dedicated blank plate for the two lines of text "Patek Philippe Geneve" This plate is already on the 5771r i think either of the options look good |

How common of a practice is this for Patek in the past? Question for the long time collectors/experts. Very interesting tweak.

I don’t care much about the Patek writing change, but the border around the date would be nice

Is there any specific reason that the white dial variant was different in the first place?

Interesting. Will they upgrade the clasp finally? The clasp on the ladies nautilus is sooooo much better.
