I’ve decided to buy a Patek 5124G and the white gold variant of the 5124 comes in both salmon or blue dial. I am undecided and not sure what to get. The blue dial is slightly more attractive to me, but I’m hesitant to buy it as it has a very similar appearance color scheme wise to the 5327G blue dial that I eventually plan to buy.

Blue or Salmon?

Salmon:

5327G I plan to buy...afraid the 5124G blue dial won’t offer enough color diversity in my collection with the 5327G as well that has the same color case and same dial color as the blue 5124G:

Salmon....no debate in my opinion.

How come?

I think salmon - it is unique - just bit something you see much of.

The blue is gorgeous - but lots of blue dials out there.

Salmon! Because I chose it :-)

In a more serious note: I dislike the white chapter ring on the blue dial version. Plus the copper dial has the perfect color (unlike other “salmon” dial watches).

subtona · 14 January 2020, 12:02 PM

Prefer the salmon dial really like the black numbers and hands.

perhaps not as versatile as the blue?

Not crazy about the white border on blue dial.

Gdaso · 14 January 2020, 12:05 PM

Another vote for the salmon dial. I saw it in metal and it looks amazing

BigAppleBill · 14 January 2020, 12:06 PM

I’m a sucker for a blue dial. But the salmon is so much sharper looking for some reason. Maybe the rectangular shape has something to do with it. The salmon just looks very classic. And those Breguet numbers are the shizzle.

singaporepatek · 14 January 2020, 12:32 PM

I learned Patek calls the salmon dial “golden opal opaline “

locutus49 · 14 January 2020, 12:36 PM

Tough. While blue is currently in vogue, salmon is coming on strong and I think of those two dials it is easier to read the time on the salmon dial. So: salmon.

These opinions are really helpful. Also what’s helpful is I found a 5124G salmon dial for only $14k!

GB-man · 14 January 2020, 04:23 PM

Piling on salmon for me. More pleasing to the eye.

GB-man · 14 January 2020, 04:26 PM

Blue reminds me too much of a reverso.

singaporepatek · 14 January 2020, 04:42 PM

I never realized the reverso look

Another vote for Salmon here although both are lovely. There is no wrong answer here.
I just think it's more classic looking and will make a nice pair with the other one you plan to buy.

Beautiful watches! I think the blue looks more "modern," and the salmon more vintage. I think I prefer the salmon, . . . until I look at the blue again . . . .

comanndr · 14 January 2020, 11:08 PM

another reason for salmon
tastes better jk
salmon and black very legible
the reverso look loses

hgg43c · 14 January 2020, 11:48 PM

salmon gives it a vintage vibe

Agreed

ansharma · 15 January 2020, 06:29 AM

I think the blue looks a bit more special to me. It is more modern and the sunburst blue dial will keep things interesting. I have seen it in the flesh and it is superb. You might get bored of the other one.

Agreed, and that reverso might actually look better than the PP blue!

I love 5124 Salmon. Blue nice but Salmon truly special.
