When you look at it at first instance ......
Agree with me or not it looks a big “crowded” at the dial layout.
When you are using it for a while well I start to know how practical approach this watch is designed to.
It is very clear to be read just one glance. This is very important design objective for dial layout as Watch function is to tell you the time by display.
The watch diameter is 37 mm excluding the crown and the dial diameter is 28mm.
Within this area we need to show these information:- Month, Day, Date, 24 hour display, hour, minutes and seconds.
Pls the layout of Roman Numerics hour indexes that occupying space!
This is a challenge and I think Patek is one of the best master in this classic display dial design.
They try to use as large as the fonts with additionally simplicity on the letters to let you have a easy reading.
for example : TU instead of TUE...
Also the Day and month display dial
Is slight beveled to add a bit isometric contrast on the dial as a whole.
I like it in yellow gold more than white gold as the ivory dial matches the yellow gold case colour perfectly!
Roman numeric is more on classic approach on the design, plus a standout look on the two lines represents the essence of the swiss best watches
