" The normal process is to consider which model you would like and then think about how you would like the dial changed to make it unique.

There are some pieces that Patek would not consider, such as Basel 2016 or 2017 launches, and also if something has been requested before and been declined by Geneva (such as 5180G on leather strap) Patek (UK) will be able to tell us so that we do not request that piece."

So what reference are you leaning towards Brian..Chrono? Perpetual Calendar Chrono? Minute Repeater?

not decide yet. I am looking for a watch that is useful and I can wear it all the time.

Then I would stay away from the ornate engraved cases and perpetual calendar chronos. ***5170 with Special Dial or 5196P with Rose Colored Dial would both be killer***

Miles, who is a member of Watchprosite has the salmon coloured dial.

IMO, it's absolutely gorgeous

Brian you already have it, get something else, though a 5160 with blue enamel dial and engraving under the enamel would look awesome..

Pretty sure Jamie has a photo of Brian on his wall

Probably WG, inc bracelet.

Very interesting but I would mych prefer a Nautilus with salmon dial rather than red

Never understood why Karl who clearly loves calendar watches didn't get this one since he could, I lean a 1/5 Patek us really cool, sure the 1/1 Patek is something amazing but you must pay a huge sum to get one, but good that a cool guy got this one

Please get a minute repeater, you will be my hero, it's my grail complication watch, any Patek or Voutilainen or AP will do, I find the complication just amazing, if I could I would get the one I suggested you, or the 5316P, PC, tourb, MP, moon phase, looks just freakin awesome and perfect, oh yeah and dial is enamel, I would get it in blue enamel. Or else a G or P 5711 with salmon dial, in any case you will be the Patek sub forum hero, even if not minute repeater and just the 1/1 5711

The fact that it's case is 36mm is why several people may have passed on it and the Salmon color isn't for everyone. Karl has told me if it was a 38mm watch it would be on his wrist. I sound like a broken record but it was so nice of him to pass along my info to the AD and help make it happen. (I certainly owe him a Patek USB stick)

you wear it and enjoy it...that's enough for me....as for the stick

AFAIK, he used to own a Patek minute repeater with another complication on the same watch, but he had some problems with the watch.

The 5970P in salmon dial was LE and certainly a rare piece. This dial is slightly different from the London Edition that topcat30093 mentioned above with a link. Patek doesn't make many watches with a salmon dial. However if you are planning to wear the watch regularly, it may be a good idea to see if the dial color and white metal matches your skin tone.

The blue dial looks like the 5004P also LE. I have read it came with an interchangeable leather strap and platinum bracelet. That may be something to consider when you order your custom watch - an interchangeable strap and bracelet.

IMO both a perpetual calendar chrono (e.g. 5270) and a perpetual calendar split-second chrono (e.g. 5204) are good base references to add a customized dial.

I have to wait Jamie return from his one week vacation before continuing conversation with a special dial.

I already had 5016P before, but I had many problems with service department for around 2 years. Finally I decide not to have grail complication watch anymore.

Thank you for your good words. I do not how long can I keep on his list.

[pp5575]

5270 go with Roman num or Breguet num?

Which one look nicer?

Interchangeable leather strap and bracelet is a very good idea, just like my 6104/1G.

Thank you for your suggestion.

Breguet of course, not cooler numerals than breguet

Wow love that watch, too bad you had problems with it, but yeah 2 years of poblems is tough...

Brian that is a real shame, apart from the 5207P with the Salmon dial, the 5016 was my next favourite MR.

[benzng]

Maybe you can order a 5270/1a :) good luck on your choice.

Hi Arnaud and Tony:

It is a quite upset story. Just don't like to talk it again. I just know I can't use my 5016P for around two years is not right and it doesn't matter what reason that PP had. It is unacceptable and inconvenient.

Now I am happy with simple models.

[topcat30093]

Brian, fully appreciate your candour, I am pleased to read that you are are happy with the pieces that you have got.

Regarding, which piece looks best, I have to go with the original piece, followed by numerals.

Hum, do you think if I am ready to pay 70k for a 5711 in salmon dial, and some other minor change, would they do it? Just kidding, I imagine for them to even consider it you need to have purchased a ton of watches from them, and they probably wouldn't do it on a SS 5711, too bad, I would be ready to pay 70k for one, as long as they guarantee me it will be a one of a kind, but even 70k will probably be way lower than what they would ask...

I think the last with batons is best as the dial is already pretty busy and needs some breathing space.

And just in case Neil was feeling a bit left out with no RG…

Well I do like this wrist model, but the dial not so much, never seriously considered a red dial before, altho I've owned blue, green and yellow.

[KarlS]

Red is not great....probably why u don't see too many of them
