Patek 5227 dial color

[Guest Kallas]

Does the BP factory Patek 5227 have the same dial color as the real thing? It´s a beautiful rep but the dial looks white to me instead of the off-white of the original. Maybe I am wrong.

As a photographer I could say that you couldn't rely on a picture... the white balance could be off, hence the white in the picture may be warmer (shift to yellow) or colder (shift to blue).

Nobody knows how they (the dealers) take the pictures (believe me, it is not easy to get a "real" neutral white balance)

Thank you Lorenzo. It looks like a BEAUTIFUL rep. I am just wary of the dial color. On the Patek site it is a pearl color but the sellers all list the rep dial as white.

I'd a look at the BP 5227... Toro and InTime are using a white background for their picture... there you may compare the dial color with the background...

It doesn't seem "pure white" to me...

(BTW, the rose gold version is a real beauty...)

Yes! The rose gold! What a BEAUTY. I turn 60 soon so I think I can get away with it....

It will be about one in a hundred that notices your watch and one in a hundred of them that can tell it is a rep. If that happens, be sure to say “hello brother”, because it is likely to be one of us.?

 

Wear it for your own pleasure and have a great birthday

I am going to get one! I like the rep from BF factory.

"One in a hundred"? I'd say thousand at least...

I've never seen a gen Patek Philippe in my whole life. Maybe because I'm not in the Jet Set but I think it's the same for 99.9 % of people living on earth.
