5320g

[ap190482]

Hi guys. Tried on the 5320G on Saturday, truly gorgeous! Curious if anyone else pulled the trigger. I noticed a few people signalling it was on their radar. I am definitely a huge fan here. The 40m wears well, despite my wrist size being on the skinnier side.

@vandyologist - how are you getting on with this beauty?

Appreciated.

It’s so, so good. Definitely my favorite watch to wear right now. I love the dial layout, the syringe hands, the stepped lugs, the cream color, all of it. I didn’t like the shiny strap and swapped for matte so it doesn’t wear too dressy. I love it and recommend that you get one.

Awesome pics - great strap selection / the matte finish is definitely a great choice. Given the price moves lower...I think I’m going to join the club!

5320g is one of my favorites! It’s a piece that hard to capture in pictures, but definitely looks great in person. I’ve enjoyed mine as a daily wearer for over a year now. Good luck with your hunt and hope you have one on your wrist soon!

[sensui]

Congrats. This one always tickles me in a good way.

[rockdrock]

Oh man, I really love this one. Approved.

It’s discrete and doesn’t shout I’m rich and flash: steal my watch please!

I am after an everyday wearer and the 5320G is it. The case is beautiful and those who criticise it for being stamped not milled - well, how would you know? The finish is subtle perfection and the face perfectly clear and balanced. Forget the references to pieces from the past.

It is what it is. Clean and simple. Irresistible.

This watch is my daily and I really enjoy it, super low key for people who are not into watches, easy to wear with dual clothes and more formal outwear

[Humble michael]

Great timepiece- subtle elegance, congratulations:-))

[Partekular]

The only thing about the 5320G which is a bit annoying is that setting the seconds hand exactly to the time pips does not seem possible..... Apart from that the watch is perfection and I also wear it everyday.

PP now sell it with the leather barrel watch winder and not with the wooden box with integral winder. This is annoying and I was lucky that the AD still had one.

Are 5320g available to those who havent bought before from an AD? I am having some trouble.

Should be.

It's not a popular model that sells over MSRP on the secondary market. The haircut is quite significant.

[Partekular]

In fact there was a 2-3 year wait on this model when it came out and a resupply arrived only recently so some ADs have one in.

It is favoured by the 3 AD’s I spoke to when trying to buy one as their favourite Perpetual calendar. It is clean faced, uncluttered, not look-at-me-steal me and an everyday watch.

Quite a few flippers got burned and are dropping their prices to dump them. Flipper Attention has switch to the 5212. Having finally seen on of those rather then just a photo I have to say 5212s are not anything like as attractive when seen actual size. Most web images are over-sized.

[Partekular]

The 5320G had a 2-3 year wait list which a recent resupply has resolved. AD’s may now have stock. The flippers are now dropping their prices and moving on to attempts to skim off the 5212 shortage.

The suggestion that the 5320g is not a popular model is misconceived. Three ADs I spoke to thought it was the most attractive perpetual calendar PP makes. I agree. It has a clear, simple face and doesn’t scream steal me!

The 5320g is an excellent piece. Well-designed and understated, it’s one of my favorites in my collections.

Note...strangely, it’s an unexpected strap monster...it does very well on a variety of colors...light gray, dark gray, blues (as well demonstrated in this thread!), black, and brown.

I swapped the deployant for a pin buckle and it’s a lot more streamlined for shirt cuffs.

Also, I dropped it on my tile floor this summer, so we are also testing Patek’s covid-period service interval. My 5940g took 3 months under warranty and the 5320 is promised by Christmas.

im trying to buy one, but cant find an AD in the USA, as i dont have one local. Would prefer to trade a rolex too. sigh...

I was thinking of doing the same: buckle for deployant - you’ve persuaded me otherwise.

Sorry to hear about your disaster!

[STLBrax]

This would be the watch I’d be most likely to next buy. My only real reservation is that I like to wear different watches so am not sure how much of a pain it would be to reset this one every couple of weeks. With that said, a winder would probably solve that issue.

[Partekular]

The 5320G comes with a leather travel drum winder box and/or a classic wood Patek box with integral winder.

There are opportunities to purchase the watch from a grey and still get your name on the papers. PM me if you're interested and I can pass along info. I did this over the summer for this very reference and was thrilled with every aspect of the transaction.

how is that possible?

[Partekular]

As soon as I saw one I had to buy it. It lacks the Mayfair glitz of a lot of PPs which I dislike. It’s subtle and doesn’t attract attention so it’s not a Flashman - ‘Look At Me’, ’Steal me!’

The solitary inner dial at ‘6’ is so much neater than the three messy internal dials of other perp cals like 5327’s, 7140’s with not so easy to read spider web dials.

The case /lug design is by itself a delight.

The simple face conceals the awesome mechanism.

I don’t care that there is no new movement - the one inside is well tried and tested.

The lume some criticise is creamy during the day and so unnoticeable until needed at night.

It’s a stamped case then machined. So what?

It’s PP at it’s best.

I wear mine every day.

As to second hand value - why would I care? It was bought to wear not sell. Watches are generally not good investments.

[raclaims]

My AD offered me one that just arrived last week, I turned it down.

It's getting crushed on resale and frankly I find it a bit bland personally.

Good thing about this sport of watch collecting is that there's no lack of awesome stuff out there

[Partekular]

Raclaims - sorry to differ from you so wildly but....

Patek Philippe isn’t really about sports watches is it? Even then ADs call them (nautilus etc) ‘entry level pieces’ - rather snootily! Rolex make supremely excellent ‘Tool’ watches in steel whereas PP are more about detail, precision, design, complexity, aesthetics etc. Given the choice between a Nautilus and a Submariner, Explorer, Yacht master I would choose Rolex over PP if sport/tool watch was my bag. PP is a whole different market. Even PP restrict production to the ‘SS Tool’ brigade and it’s odd that they ever went there. A whole market has grown wanting the prestige of PP wrapped in SS and even PP wish they hadn’t gone there hence their restricted SS production. I am also deeply suspicious of the grey market pricing of the 5711 for example (3 x list) price) as this pushes price and demand up.

PP need to stick to excellence and design - the 5320G is in that market: stupidly expensive and over priced but exquisite aesthetically in materials and mechanically. It’s a whole different world from the Rolex look at me Estate / Real Agent and car dealer / dealer Pepsi!

[raclaims]

When did I say I prefer sports watches? I have a large collection of Pateks and I just don't like this one...sorry.

Misunderstanding!

[Sinanamus]

Wow, you win at life. My favorite Patek pc and possibly favorite watch in the current lineup! Great taste!

Need to buy one, 5320G..

[CountryBoy]

5320G is so good that it makes 5905R, 5205G, and 5146J redundant, at least in my case.
