Yes you should be considered a new AP shouldn't patina.. Let the "seller" deal with the watch or you'll end up paying if the watch isn't on warranty or has been previously opened by the seller

Patrizzi dial AP. It might be worth more than a blemish free watch.

This "fading" look common on blue dial, even on the original Beast 25721ST. Something about the AP blue plating I guess.
However considering this is ceramic pusher version (2016?), seem like too fast to happen. |

Seems like a manufacturing defect that AP should take care of.

I personally will get it fix with or without warranty.
I do not understand why people like faded dials and rusty hands in. People pay premium for a rusty watch. |

No way should this happen on such a new watch IMHO. Has it been opened ever or had water/damp ingress?
