Incoming 51866g

Finally got to the AD…was a bit worried about size, but it’s still a great fit.
Having trouble uploading images, but hopefully more to come…

Thanks so much! Really love the dial and I’ll have to see if I have to pick up another strap for summer size wise

My wrist isn’t particularly big and pretty skinny so I was quite surprised at how well it fits…

It really is a chameleon in terms of color. I actually prefer the darker look but when I tried it on in the boutique the lighting made the blue quite vibrant so I took it outside and it looked much better to me.

Apologies for mistyping the Reference, was late and in my excitement I transposed the numbers. Will try to get it fixed

Great pic up! Looks well on you.

Is it a 5167a or a 5168g? Looks a lot like the steel reference in that lighting.

Thank you! It’s the 5168g.

I’m quite pleasantly surprised at how dynamic the dial color can look depending on the lighting. Now that I’ve had a chance to wear it out and about for a few days I’m amazed at how the shade can change.
Only thing I wish Patek would do with their composite straps is add an adjustment on the clasp like my Oysterflex.
