Patek Philippe

Cognoscenti, I’m thinking about selling my 5905P. This is a 42mm platinum Patek with a LOT of wrist presence and I love how it wears, but I’ve become a bit annoyed with it as of late because I’m finding it very difficult to read the time. The white gold h...  

This watch complements the Bentley. Do glasses help? I basically need glasses to read my perpetual calendars.

I have similar legibility issues with my Daytona but there are so many other things I like about it that I can get past the relatively poor legibility. Good luck with your decision.

Thus I sold my Daytona (black dial) for exactly the same reason - invisibility

...and the main reason I have not gotten a ceramic Daytona so far. No matter if white or black dial they are beautiful but don't tell the time...

It is my least complicated timepiece in my collection by some mile, however I find it very stylish and easy to wear. I personally don’t have trouble telling the time on it, but if that’s an issue for you, maybe you should go for an alternative option. ...
