Blue.
Combined with the contrast stitching and suede leather it looks to be the most ultimate casual elegance. Salmon on black doesn’t come close. |

Easy one for me - blue - but depends on intended usage as they must wear quite differently.

Blue seems to pop more and has better contrast.

In the context of your full collection, blue. There should only be one salmon Patek.

Blue.
Way more versatile and more in keeping with the casual nature of the watch. |

I don’t know. Really sat there and looked at the pic for a while and can’t decide. They both look awesome.

There is no better - just 2 different colors!

For me it's blue. Though I'd rather have a 5170 over 5172.
Patek seem to be milking "salmon" too much recently. I prefer the discontinued cream 5230G to the newer salmon version. Really hope they do that watch in platinum at some point. |

Tough call, both are beautiful. Maybe the salmon if you have other blue watches in the collection

Confused by your post. Are you referring to the cream 5320G? Or if you are referring to the 5230, there is a 5230P version?

Salmon for me. So many blue or dark dial watches. They are beautiful but the Salmon is so different.

I bought the blue but it’s an amazing watch mechanism whatever the colour. Classic Patek.

They are both great versions. One more traditional, the other one more casual. I would prefer the blue one, I love how gold, blue and white markings combine together.
Congratz if they are both yours :) |

Yep I have both! Salmon just delivered. I honestly can’t decide yet which I prefer. I have a couple of straps on order for this one: brown suede with ecru stitching and matte gray alligator like this one but with ecru stitching. |

Brown suede should work really well with the salmon. But I still like the blue better as I am biased for obvious reason. |

Depends on taste and collection! For a smaller collection without much blue bias, think blue makes it more a streamlined piece. For others it might be the salmon. For me, cream 5320G and salmon 5172G are the winners (as a combo). Decided to do that vs. 1 watch of 5270P which I'm sure may not be the popular decision but 2 > 1 for me in this case.
