Superb foursome -- so diverse that they are hard to compare, but the beauty and iconic status of the 5196P within the "previous" Calatrava generation wins my vote! ;-)
As for P vs. G, it obviously depends on the watch....but all other things being equal (which is rarely the case), the charm of Platinum for me is unmatched! 
Cheers.
Happy pairings
Love the shine of this noble metal 😎 What is your favorite white metal? Do you prefer Steel, WG or Pt? ...
It totally depends on the specific watch....
In this particular instance, my favorite is likewise your newest ALS addition ....
Having these together is a most spirited presentation!
I'm a fan of all white metals, especially WG.
I agree and every time I put watches in a group, it makes me feel happy.
WG has evolved with different formula by each brand, it's nice too.

The charm and shine of Pt is really nice and I knew your love for Calatravas :))
Weight does play a role so I agree it depends on the watch. Cheers Prof!
wow....first thing first, time to change your ID - You have a lot of clues about collecting great timepieces ;-)
I'm a fan of Pt, I love the heft of it. I'm a big fan for the 5196p and along with the 5960p it is a great twin to own from PP. Best, mahesh.,
Haha....I hear that a lot but Thanks mahesh....I will remain clueless because I still puzzle why these are not more "precious" than some steel time-only watches :))
I'm also liking Pt so is starting to pay more attention.
Silver for me!
My wife has a white metal ban in the house (though she owns and wears a beautiful WG Breguet 8828!) No platinum allowed either as she complains it looks too much like steel. LOL! I have found vintage silver watches have a fascinating patina and look that ...
Interesting choice!
Yes that Tudor Ag is quite attractive, and so are dials made by modern Omegas, their Silver Snoopy and CK 859.
Platinum for dress and steel for sport.
A nice selection of watches you've got there. The 5196P dial with classic Breguet numerals is the one that's endured (and will continue to endure). Perhaps the next time Patek uses it they will match it to a more worthy movement. The Lange moonphase fuses...
Great answer, yes steel for sports, Pt for dress.
I think these four fits nicely into the category. Agree this 5196P is such a lovely watch, if only they put in the 240, it will be top notch.
Beautiful selection!
Love all white metals, but platinum does have the weight which makes wearing all the more enjoyable. I will abstain from highlighting my favourites. 😉
Thanks kindly...This is all I have as far as Pt piece, hope to hunt for more :))
I also have hard time finding a favorite but if push comes to shove, it should be the right one.
Beautiful pieces! White metals are my favorite.
I don't have any platinum, but love the weight/solidness. But have been adding more colored metals/dials.
Colored metals are nice too, especially YG is still coming strong these past years.
I know, those dials are a good reason to keep us wanting more )
Wow 👏💣💥Gorgeous collection!
I remember when you started with the Lange Honey Gold! It was the time I got the same in Platinum! For many years white gold/platinum were my favourite. Now my #1 favourite is Yellow Gold. So fantastic and classic.
Good memory Christian!
Yes my 1st Lange is Nov 2015. YG certainly becomes quite popular again.
Oh my lord!!!!
What a combo!!! Talking about white metal I prefer any of this watches even in copper. Congrats my friend. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Copper in these with patina will make people’s imagination ran wild 😅
Thanks for your kind words my friend 😊🙏🏻😊
