Hopes for Baselworld: Patek Philippe watches with blue dial and the wished 5124G blue dialled!Date: Jan 21, 2012,10:26 AM
Did you know or did you realize that the blue colour of the oceans is in fact the color of the sky reverberated on the water surface?
Out of the sky and the seas the blue colour is not so common in our mother nature. It is not so common either in watches. We have so many silver or black dials, many white ones. When you visit old churches or cathedrals you can learn that the blue pigments were the most expensive ones (before the birth of the chemical industry) and consequently the use of the blue colour was a way to show richness. Still in a watch world of excessive show off of richness blue dialled watches remain rare.
As I'm hoping the launch of a blue dialled Patek Philippe 5124G I wanted to show you some recent blue dialled Patek Philippe watches. I've searched through my collection but couldn't find any so here is what I got….
I take no risk saying that recent blue dialled Patek Philippe watches have had a great success in terms of reception on our site. You can see above pics of the 5960P, 5131G, 5140P, 5101G and 5070P. I could have added the 5711/1A of course but as I'm doing my best to forget that watch I didn't take it to the subject (I didn't look at the Ellipse d'Or either, I had enough anyway).
Of course the pictures of this subject, showing the watches pictured in catalogs won't be very efficient to convince you order yours (if that's not done already). That's not the point anyway as I'm not selling watches (I should as that seems to be a very good business). My point is just to show that blue dialled Patek Philippe watches have been received very well and that the entry level range lacks a blue dial.
To some extent I see those blue watches as younger looking than their other colour counterparts. Blue is (to me) supremely elegant but seems younger and fresher to me than pink, brown, grey, or silver, and less obvious than white or black. Maybe an easy choice, maybe not?
The 5960P may be the one that had the most controversial reception, due perhaps to the huge success that was the precedent grey version. I don't think there was any discussion for the others.
You must keep in mind (if you forgot it) that judging a watch based on pictures can be easily misleading. Judging a Patek Philippe watch on pictures can be worse as the work done on dials by Patek Philippe (remember that the Stern family was making dials before buying back Patek Philippe) is just impossible to understand if you don't have the watch on your wrist. Rarely watches seeming blank can become so appealing when strapped on. Consequently stronger choices (like blue dials) can seem doubtful as long as you don't see them for real. You know what you have to do now!
Blue dialled watches may also be seen as cold watches. But white, black, silver or grey are not warmer, no? Who wants a yellow, orange, or red dialled Patek Philippe? Don't wait for me to promote or ask these ones (although the just new red Reverso is awesome)!
Maybe my appeal for blue dials could be linked to the fact that in my country of origin blue is the royal colour? Please say us what blue means for you, in your own culture!
So will we get a blue 5124G this year or in the future? I have no idea. Reference 5101 was at the origin launched with the pink/copper dial used today in the 5124G. The current 5101G has a blue dial that is for me possibly the most beautiful current Patek Philippe dial (OK perhaps right after the 5711/1A dial, but as I don't even remember how this watch looks like….). If they have put the same dial in a 5124 and a 5101 they can do it again.
Will we get other references with blue dials? Certainly someday, maybe in two months! Those attending Baselworld will report us the answer.
If you want like I do more blue dials, and an entry level blue dialled Patek Philippe watch, please voice your opinion. Of course if you disagree or hate what I wrote voice your opinion too!
