Incoming : 5212
Was an unexpected purchase as the first watch in 2024 but my AD did it and delivered.
A watch that was my first choice to have as a first patek but my 5226g arrived first which was the reason for me to seek 5212 and patek even more ! Loved it. Such a versatile watch and accepts any type of straps with an amazing clou de Paris engraving that reflects lights like crazy ! 6 months later I get the call for the first patek complication in the collection. 5212 weekly calendar The opaline dial is one of the reasons i was seeking for this watch along side the simpson font ! And i strongly believe that a patek complication at this price point is a steel ! The AD purchasing experience was amazing and were gifted a nice PP cap Few pics below with my 5226 and my friends 6119r Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Congrats on the 5212. Love the fact that it looks so good with different strap combinations. Waiting for the call on this piece myself.

Congrats!! just a question - How does the 5212 feeling on the wrist vs your 5226g? I have tried on a few times and always thought it was too “light”, doesn’t really give the premium feel vs like a white gold piece.yet it doesn’t have too much of water resistant to be “sporty”
Anyone feel 5212 is too light? |

This watch, along with the 5235, are the best complications pieces that Patek makes. You're not going to swim with it, keep that for your Rolex, nautilus or aquanauts. |

beautiful watch congrats - 5212 has been on my radar for quite some time - now that the secondary market has softened might pull the trigger in 24.

It’s literally a “steel”, hopefully discontinued soon so we can get the appreciation curve moving up.

Looks great. Where do you get your straps? I have a 5522a that I want to put a different strap on and I am looking for direction as to where to procure unique (and quality) straps. Thank you in advance.

I love that baby blue strap on the 5212! Where is that strap from?
