5205R dial questions

1. Will Patek allow a dial change from black to white on this reference?

2. If so where can I have it done?

3. Approximately how much would it cost?

4. Approximately how much time would it take?

Thanks!!!!

Easier said than done. I really already tried that. I can’t find anyone other than the diamond district that has any of these in white dial right now and I wouldn’t buy from them if they were the only people on the planet that had watches. I’ve already had my one time bad experience there. Otherwise I completely agree with you. That would be the easiest way. I would even trade for a brand new white dial one with some money added to it. Thanks man

Out of curiosity, may I ask why you want a dial change?

The white dial appeals to me more for wearing with my suits. The black dial seems to be more casual I guess. Everyone looks at it differently of course.

I agree on the white dial, to me at least the white appears more classic, timeless with understated elegance, but then I'm biased as that's the one I own (5205R-001).

Either way, I wouldn't switch dials. Personally, I would sell one and buy the other (even if at a cost), simply because I prefer Pateks I own to be "factory correct". I imagine that may also be better if later you decide to sell your 5205 altogether.

Regardless, you've got a great watch, hope you're enjoying it. Cheers.

I was hoping sooner or later a trusted seller here would get one and do a swap with me and make some money at the same time. Oh well it’ll happen sooner or later.
