5172G or 5320G salmon
I have been asking for a salmon dial piece from AD. Finally they have offer for both 5172G or 5320G.
Would like to hear viewpoints as I decide on one: As we speak, I have slight preference for 5172G 1. The movement is beautiful whereas 5320 one seems a bit more common given its Calibre 325 heritage 2. Dial is less cluttered (personal view) 3. Chrono is a typical PP heritage 4. Thinner 5. Cheaper and better value? However, a perpetual is always a grail for many. Also, I have the 1815 Chrono as well; a 5172G maybe somewhat similar. So, it’s a hard call though |

I’d go grey and save 20-30k personally unless you have major ambitions with Patek and your future purchases. I personally like the cream version of 5320 better and would go for the 5172 personally. But can’t go wrong both are lovely imo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

This. Go gray. Why blow $30k. Just roll it towards new Daytona. Ultimately perpetual calendar is always the right call imo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I’m not really a fan of either. I think there are much better choices for both chrono and perpetual calendar from Patek.

The 5320 salmon was the first PP my AD offered me. Although I really liked it, I passed because I felt I wanted a more versatile dial color for my first.
I also prefer AC in general… |

Why Salmon? It is a very cool color but if I’m being honest kind of disappointed how Patek has decided to use it so loosely for so many references. It used to be a “unique” color earmarked for special pieces and now they just put it on everything. I would get the reference you want as opposed to color dial.

5172G, but I'm biased :)

Man I really love the look of the salmon dial. Wish it didn’t just blend into my pale/pink Irish skin tone. Put freckles on that dial and it would be a tribute to my skin.

I'd be happy with either, but the chronograph does give you more chances of interacting with the watch. A perpetual you kind of set and forget. So I guess which you'd prefer. I personally would go with the 5172g first.
