    This is the story of one of the most controversial Patek Philippe releases to have ever graced the patek Philippe catalogue. The first iteration of the 5235 is the 5235G. Released in 2011, it received a lukewarm welcome from the watch community. Some considered it too different, too modern, even too aggressive to be considered a real Patek Philippe. This watch is indeed unlike any other Patek in their collection. The 5235G has since been discontinued and it has been replaced by the 5235R which we look at in this video.

    Great video! The 5235r is probably my favorite watch from Patek Philippe under $100k. It has perfect size at 40.5mm x 10mm. And the combination of the beautiful two-tone regulator dial, the stunning 31-260 micro rotor movement with a unique 3.2 Hz beat rate, and the advanced research components, makes this a special timepiece. A future classic, imho.

    I love how beautiful that dial looks under the light. Such a nice vertical brush effect

    5235G is one of the best watch ever - great complication, original design, true Patek advanced technology, white gold and silver dial for daily wear, quite understated and only for connaisseurs!

    Beautiful...unfortunately pateks tend to offer very little water resistance, so I can't imagine getting one as a daily watch for any kind of situation
    .... it will have to be my G Shock or a Rolex OP ! Very cool video. And wow that movement!

    The new 2021 PP 5236 Perpetual uses a slightly modified version of this base movement, with platinum rotor and 4Hz.

      Congratulations!! This iteration or the initial one? Both awesome either way. And a watch with a clear identity in the Patek line-up. Zero doubt that it is a collectible as well as a gorgeous piece.

    GyromaxSI is part of their advanced research, which this watch does NOT have. It has the standard Gyromax than has been around for decades. Also, this watch hacks. Overall, nice video.

  • @gmshadowtraders

    Pateks also don't hack. 300 bucks Timex Marlin is better.

    • @degriff
      @degriff  Před 3 lety +1

      Generally not having stop seconds is such an odd fact with Patek indeed. The 5235 does hack however (a rarity at Patek).

      @@degriff oh, that's rare indeed. Anyway, many of them works on low beats and have low power reserves. Cheap watches are cheap bec of these factors. High on architecture, low on engineering.
