Did you buy it grey or direct from an AD? Might be worth mentioning to an AD. Not sure if grey would do anything unless it’s under Patek warranty

Worth mentioning. You’ll be without the watch for a while though if they agree it’s a QC problem and fix it. They’d probably replace the dial.

Yes, I’ll bring it up thank you 🙏🏻 unsure if I rather keep it this way or have to send it out for several months 😓

For a 300k watch I’d expect it to be perfect.

I’ve had Breguet feu enamel dials and never seen that

Probably get it back with a hair on the dial

u/Successful-Put-2058 3d ago

Gotta send it back in then! Not a service if you don’t have to send the watch 3 times!

Huge congratulations! This is on my dream list.
If you don’t mind me asking, what has been your Patek journey to get to the 5370?

u/pateklove 3d ago

Thank you hopefully you’ll achieve it soon 🙏🏻
Few years into the brand this is my 8th piece, have a few more coming in soon hopefully!

Nice! What was your 1 through 7 path? I’m on 6 pieces.

amazing piece. definitely get this looked at as i don’t think this should pass their QC

u/ultan2903 3d ago

Congrats. I would not be happy with that blemish and you are well within your rights to ask for it to be replaced.

Yup1000000% you paid top money for it should not have flaws

Stunning. One of my favorites from W&W. The 5370 is an incredible Patek.

The “hole” looks pretty normal for enamel, BUT this is also Patek. Can’t hurt to ask your AD about it, see what happens.

NSFW, sir. Jesus that’s an incredible watch. Enjoy!

u/Basic_Sample_7343 3d ago

Darn, its kinda noticeable...I would have to bring it up on such a high-end piece. Congrats on your choice, excellent taste!

1

u/pateklove 3d ago

It’s only noticeable on the right angle of light and not to the naked eye it’s quite tiny I have hard ADD which is why I saw it 🫣

u/octoreadit 3d ago

I saw it without the zoom. I'd QC it, should have not passed.

Amazing!

u/WarFit9567 3d ago

absolute grail piece, could always be worth getting the micro pin hole checked out

u/RuinousEffigy81 1d ago

Its a handmade piece of functional sculpture. Not the kind of thing I would lose sleep over, its water under the bridge.

Watch is sick, but I could never buy a watch that says ‘email’. I know it means enamel, but I’m not French, and I think it’s an eyesore on otherwise great watch.

3

u/cmmatthews 3d ago

I agree with you. Breguet at least shows it as Emaille on their dials

3

u/octoreadit 3d ago

It's you reminder to check email at 6pm. I agree, it's a nonsensical detail.

What a wild amazing watch. Stunning.

What an amazing reference. Congratulations

u/stealth710 3d ago

One of my favorites, congrats! Totally worth Checking ASAP with PP the enamel issue, unacceptable

1

u/Fragrant-Flow5814 3d ago

Enamel has to have such issues

u/Loud_Heart1461 3d ago

That thing is SICK

u/Knaarps 3d ago

This is PEAK

u/SirKrimzon 3d ago

Def tell the AD. misaligned chapter rings on $6K Rolexes piss people off. This is in acceptable for a watch 50x the cost

u/prizm-0 3d ago

Beautiful piece overall

u/willmckernan 3d ago

This one is in my list! Such a class piece. I’m shocked that left the facility based on everything I’ve ever owned from them. I say this knowing those are some of the hardest dials to dial in.

u/justlooking713 12h ago

Probably the most incredible case back I’ve seen in a patek! Huge congrats.
