5056P & 5146

Dear all, I'm not usually a reader of the PP forum; however, recently, I've been trying to learn more about it to figure out what all the fuss is about. One of the complicate functions by PP that I personally am hugely fond of is the Annual Calendar. It is an opinion of mine that the calendar (from perpetual to date-only) function, power reserve function and GMT function are the most useful in more situations than anything else. Due to this preference of mine, I'm particular to find out more about the differences between 5056P and 5146. After some digging around, it seems that each has a huge following. From what I have gathered, 5056P is a classic piece. It is also a limited edition. 5146, on the other hand, is the representation of what the trend is: bigger is better. Of course, there are improvements made in the movement going from 5056P to 5146, but it seems to me what sets these apart is mainly the size. Am I wrong in this assessment? Thanks and have a good day.

5056 is not limited, bigger is not better ...

A lady AD gave me her, honest, opinion about large watches: " Vulgar" she said ... This might not apply to all big watches but still it is a different "need" that is served by them ... Back to your inquiry: 5056 is not limited, was the first release of an...

I just got a 5146P so I'm a little biased. I looked at both models but liked the dial better on the 5146. I got a 2007 model that had the 315 movement if you want a slower beat. I don't think the 5146 is that much bigger in my eyes at least. Either way I ...

5056P had a very limited production I believe

5056P is a very nice watch which I am very fond of. Mine is currently at the home base in Geneva for a service. I very much look forward to get it back ship shape. The size is relatively small by todays standards. I find it however very nice on the wrist ...

platinum production

I've read that quote in the past from Christies. I've also heard too that 5146P production is probably around 10% of total 5146's out there so that's a pretty low number too if correct.

The 5056P only came in Platinum, the dial was the first time around they used that slated gray similarly used in the 5146 but slightly different tone. I think the 5056P is one of the best PP ever, perfect size too. Expectation is around 1000 pieces done 5...

for me, always the 5056P

By: Hororgasm : March 25th, 2011-14:43

the slate grey of the 5056 has been THE standard for me to measure all ther slate grey from every other brands since. also first to feature the 6 oclock diamond on case to denote Platinum model. best, Horo

I went through the same process of deciding between the 5056p and the 5146. Eventually I chose the 5056p. Wear it in good health. Cheers! WS
