My newly acquired PP 5040P.
I went against convention as I simply fell in love with this watch. So under appreciated in my opinion. Love the platinum case and shape, dial layout, hands and numerals. So understated. So classic. So Patek Philippe.
It is true that you know it when you see it. There is a connection. [nt]

I always buy watches emotionally
Not that there is any other way to do it! There are many I like and would love to own, but my purchases are almost always irrational and at the wrong time. They're acts of love not reason! It's funny because whenever I have carefully considered a watch and had the funds ready and everything in order, the love has not lasted. But when I get the opportunity to get one at the wrong time when I'm broke and I have to go crawling to the bank or passing the credit card with trembling hand... that's when I've picked the right one! haha!
Congrats!
It is a marvelous and classy piece, find those hands are particularly spectacular!
I know they are not everyone's favorite. I wear a suit and tie daily - so for me, the formality of the hands just work. [nt]

As soon as I saw it in the metal, held it and felt that unmistakeable weight of platinum, I knew...love the shape, so vintage yet still contemporary. [nt]

Thank you watch-er. I had my eye on this one for some time. I was pleased to close the sale. [nt]

The first...
'...non-traditional' shaped case I really came to love. Congratulations!
Congratulations on acquiring such a wonderful and different watch, and in platinum! As far as being under appreciated that often translates into ...
rare and underpriced in the present, but highly sought after and very valuable in the future; eg 5020. 5020 (like your 5040) had an unusual shape unique to its reference during its period of production.
