An excellent analysis.

This watch one of the very best movements in the business. Indeed, I believe it is the most beautiful split-seconds calibre ever manufactured. However, the dial and case are lacking. In addition to the points you made above, the fonts on the dial are unappealing and the lugs are too fussy. Personally, I would get a 5370 in order to obtain the same calibre with a superior dial and case.

It always amazing to see the second dial appear ! 5204r is perfect in every way. ...

In my view, watch seems to be designed without harmony. 1. The hour markers on the upper half vs those in the lower half..the upper hour-markers are very long, virtually creeping into the dial while the lower half markers are tiny (of course to allow for ... 

An excellent analysis.

Good observation indeed!

I just don’t like the hour/min hands (too sporty IMHO)

Nobody has mentioned that cute little chin yet.

Seriously, my only problem with this watch is the lugs. Otherwise, I find all the aforementioned mess strangely harmonious, so overall, all the more credit to PP to pull this one out.

What a watch! Lovely in R👌🏼

Huge congrats!

Tough crowd here! My own view, based on the original P, is this reference stuns in person.

Absolutely beautiful on the wrist and exceedingly wearable. Of the two - 5204 vs 5370 - I can’t draw many similarities. Cosmetics, complications, presence, “wearability.” I find them nearly incomparable despite a shared movement. The 5370P on the wrist we...
