I googled it, indeed it looks very nice, thanks for the heads-up :)

A few editions have been made celebrating collaborations with retailers (green 5905 in Ireland, purple 5130 in Scotland, 5230 Boodles, etc...). Very rare and some are very attractive.

Woah!

Always been a big fan of the 5212 and it's nice to see Patek experiment with new color and case combinations (assuming this won't be in steel) even if they're not particularly to my taste. I still prefer the original steel configuration but it surely doesn't matter if these are limited to 20 pcs lol.

I love it, I really love it. I want a red dialed watch and if I could, this would be it.

They have also replaced the handwritten font (which made the original 5212A very unique) to a plain sans serif font.

I think it's just the color in the dial playing a trick on our eyes?

No. Look at the 7
Replacing the handwriting destroyed this limited edition beyond repair, but there are 20 pieces only so we don't need to feel sad about patek (or the retailer) butchering this release

Oh dear. Like the color but without the handwritten font it lacks a bit of soul.
