Incoming - Patek 5212a
Hi Everyone,
I was delighted to receive the call for the 5212a. My collection thus far has been somewhat gold-heavy, and I wanted a daily stainless steel watch that could fly under the radar, as safety in the city can be an issue. After trying various strap options, I have opted for a plain black strap and a separate full red leather strap, which I will wear more on holiday and will post photos of later. I really love this timepiece. The complication suits me well, as my business involves scheduling appointments for specific weeks of the year! I also feel the colour of the dial looks much more interesting in person than in photos. Thanks for reading! ![]() ![]() ![]()

Such a gorgeous reference from Patek, even as someone who doesn't care much for leather strap pieces, this has such a cool vintage vibe... huge congrats and enjoy in good health

The 5212a sounds like a perfect addition to your collection, especially with the black and red leather straps for different occasions.

I love mine! After wearing it daily for a while I learned the bezel is a scratch magnet!

Congratulations! I really enjoy the 5212 as a low-key watch as well. It works well with so many different strap combinations.
