Be sure to watch Patek's video about the 5212! Some amazing info there. Particularly one of the innovations in this new movement, their anti-backlash third wheel to reduce jitter in the seconds hand. Congrats! what a great pick up. And be ready to blow past your strap budget! |

No one (not even PP) has yet to articulate why the dial week begins on Sunday, yet ISO 8601 states the day of the week begins on Monday ~ quoted on page 12 of the manual.

The week number indicator increments when the weekday changes from Sunday to Monday, so I think the movement is respecting ISO 8601.
It was perhaps a questionable choice to have Sunday bifurcated at 12 o'clock, making us all question whether it's the first or last weekday on the dial ![]() |

Sunday is the first day of the week in Christianity - plain and simple. There's no need to beat around the bushes and try to find a scientific explanation. I will also remind everyone that the Patek logo is a cross so there, you have it.

Indeed Sunday is the first day for Christianity, but not according to ISO standards (quoted in the manual) nor continental Europe.

Congrats on the 5212. It's a great under the radar piece with tons of strap versatility. Mine says hello. It's on a 5224R strap.

Congratulations! Love all the strap options available for that watch from PP. And it really changes up the look/feel of the thing.
I especially like the complication here. Useful to some of us in the workforce on a day to day basis. |

Sorry for the late reply; I have been away. Thanks for all of your kind words and for sharing photos. It's great to see quite a few members also own it with some great strap choices.

Be curious to see what happens to this ref and if Patek will discontinue it. There’s been talk about that for some years now.
