I guess the micro rotor of the cal 240 makes it possible to have a slim sleek and sexy watch with complications. Thought of sharing a side by side of 2 watches that are tops as to my humble collection.










Cheers friends.

Thanks for looking. Also like your post. Will get a 5711a in due time. Cheers. Geross.

I know your point of view on the issue Nico, and it is certainly makes sense...

...but the theme of my collection is neither nor (not one watch one movement ; not 240 only). The theme of my collection is the watches I fall in love with, the ones I find so attractive that I feel I must get them even if it takes time and efforts, and I...

PP perpetual calendars are surely among the most sought after for many good reasons. Moreover since the well known 3940 there has been several new versions thus offering variety in dial design (and price level) if not going for a new one from an AD.

Coming from a true connousieur. Warm regards. Geross.

I agree with you buy the watches that sing to you.

Regardless of the movement inside. In my case i like the slimness of the cal 240. Cheers.

Nail on the head!

My long term target is a 5110G or P. The celestial remains a heavenly dream!

You flatter me Alkiro. But i accept the flattery.

They are 2 very different watches for different outfit and wearing pleasure. After the Nautilus and a WT you can try a QP Best, Mark

Thanks for the thumbs up.

I just rotate my watches. But for the Patek line i wear the 5712a more often.
