Beautiful watch...a shame that...
...the movement is so out of place.
If PP continues to make manual wind watches in today’s larger size cases, they might want to invest some dollars in a larger movement.
I suppose one could say the same for the 240 auto as well.

Sure that the 215 would need to see its size augmented, or the cases housing it reduced. OR a new larger movement. [nt]

I considered this one
In the end I couldn’t get over the fact how mismatched the movement is with the case, just screams lazy to me. Same with American 1921 with Vacheron - the new smaller model holds the same movement which fills the case beautifully.
The 'big watch' fad has gone on far too long now...
...for it not to be lazy. Companies like PP are making money hand over fist, but keep putting old (small) movements in huge (new) cases. If these companies were serious, they would be developing movements to fit the cases. Not quite as bad as putting a round movement in a rectangular case, but close...
Well, in the case of the 5196, it is / was in the catalogue for quite a long time, what? 15 years? But I have to agree that a bigger movement would be great in a 37 / 38 mm case. [nt]

I understand your point. I got used to it, but it took some time for me. [nt]

Well now I am considering it again ha ha
Just something about two-tone and Breguet numerals
In the real, and on the wrist, it is such a pleasure watch. I loved mine. [nt]

Hi Nicolas , the 5196P is a...
lovely reference and the heft feels great on the wrist.
If it does not have the seconds dial, it would be perfect IMO

I don’t get that watch. If I want a Bréguet I will buy one. I also have no desire to advertise Tiffany’s. The other 5196s are stunning though. [nt]

Thanks for your feedback, Sprotch. Yes, there are a lot of passionate discussions about these double signature watches, being Patek or Rolex... [nt]
