Hi Everyone,

I was delighted to receive the call for the 5212a. My collection thus far has been somewhat gold-heavy, and I wanted a daily stainless steel watch that could fly under the radar, as safety in the city can be an issue. After trying various strap options, I have opted for a plain black strap and a separate full red leather strap, which I will wear more on holiday and will post photos of later.

I really love this timepiece. The complication suits me well, as my business involves scheduling appointments for specific weeks of the year! I also feel the colour of the dial looks much more interesting in person than in photos. Thanks for reading!

Major congrats! best watch Patek makes in the complications category along with the regulator, not to mention this is a strap monster! Experiment with it!

Thanks, everyone! Your kind words are much appreciated. The black strap is definitely more of a "boring" configuration, but it keeps it somewhat under the radar/inconspicuous. I like how it blends in with the hour markers, and the all black feel highlights the red accents. Surprisingly, I actually also quite like the original strap with it too. Here is a photo of the red strap I also picked up!

I love the red but really do dig the black strap

Congrats on the 5212a! It's a great watch, very under the radar. I've been considering a bright-colored strap for mine -- please post photos when you have it on the red alligator!

Such a gorgeous reference from Patek, even as someone who doesn't care much for leather strap pieces, this has such a cool vintage vibe... huge congrats and enjoy in good health

Edwardfry3 · 31 July 2024, 07:50 AM

The 5212a sounds like a perfect addition to your collection, especially with the black and red leather straps for different occasions.

B01fan · 31 July 2024, 08:37 AM

That will look super-cool on the red strap!

arolexguy · 31 July 2024, 09:56 AM

I love mine! After wearing it daily for a while I learned the bezel is a scratch magnet!

Congratulations and enjoy!

Congratulations! I really enjoy the 5212 as a low-key watch as well. It works well with so many different strap combinations.

Red strap looks fantastic but definitely not under the radar!
