I have to say that both PC actually are great in…
Jul 10, 2021,11:05 AM
…different ways. The 5320 has the best legibility and fits for every occasion. The 5140p has the best and most elegant grey sunburst dial ever. Its funny to read this post, because the 5320 was my first PC and I later added the 5140P. Congratulations for both good choices.

I this isn't the "right answer"...
By: BigFatPauli : July 3rd, 2021-15:18
But I really love the dial colour on the 5140p oh so much that I am willing to overlook the odd printing choice so that's the way I personally would go.
Thanks man.
By: jlc.thomsen : July 3rd, 2021-15:26
Yes I have seen there are some font issues that have been discussed. Nothing that bothers me at all when seeing the watch in the metal. And yes the dial is truly spectacular charcoal. And still super subtle.
Thanks naut- 2-0 for the 5140p charcoal.

What bothers you with the 5320 if anything? For me it’s the to many winks to the past. What I like is the simplicity and readability and the complex case.
5320G 👍

Thanks!

This is going Salomonic I think 🤔

I am with you.
By: jlc.thomsen : July 3rd, 2021-22:04
But PP are the best to make a cluttered dial look like it makes sense.
Yes true-👍

5320
By: blau : July 3rd, 2021-15:50
Here's why: it's got its own thing going. And it looks great! I love its sporty/vintagey/casual vibe and have been surprised it hasn't been a huge screaming sells-over-retail success. The 5140 is great, too... but, to my eye, it's a slightly lesser versio...
For me the 5320G without hesitation.
By: MTR : July 3rd, 2021-16:16
It has it’s own style and stands alone with it’s design. I tried it about two years ago. I felt that it was very versatile and had a great wrist presence, too. And then there is your personal next generation… 😊 Best Thomas ...
If you are able, try them on first
By: houstonian : July 3rd, 2021-16:41
They fit very differently. 37 vs 40. Long straight lugs vs downward sloping short lugs. The 5320 is a cream color that borders on yellow, just fyi. Here are photos to help. Sorry the 5140 is rose and not platinum, but hopefully this gives you an idea of t...
Thank you Houston-
By: jlc.thomsen : July 3rd, 2021-18:05
Yes I did try them on and live both for different reasons. What is your choice?
5320 would get my vote
By: houstonian : July 3rd, 2021-19:13
Like baufoam says below, I think the 3940 does “classic Patek” better than the 5140
Go Grey...
By: Jace : July 3rd, 2021-16:53
By that I mean gray market unless your dealer is giving you a substantial discount sorry to keep it real but that would be my first decision my second one would be the platinum choice I have seen both in the wild and unfortunately the 5320 does not have a...
Thank you Jace
By: jlc.thomsen : July 3rd, 2021-18:06
Yes or maybe with an enamel dial!!
Completely agree here.
By: jlc.thomsen : July 4th, 2021-07:32
But since I am also listening to my family’s emotion here in this particular case, your opinion and the forum are really important players. 🙏amazing
Good luck!

The 5320g.
By: baufoam : July 3rd, 2021-17:09
Not a doubt in my mind. I have been wearing the 5320 as a daily watch for over two years and I like it more today than I did when I bought it ( new) from an AD in Beverly Hills. I paid full retail for the watch and have not regretted that decision. As a P...
Most importantly
By: sham1 : July 3rd, 2021-17:26
which watch fits your wrist better? The 5320 is 40mm while the 5140 is 37mm in diameter, quite a difference. How important is legibility to you because the 5320 is a lot more legible compared to the dial of the 5140. For me I would go for the 5140 as I ha...
Thanks Sham-thank you WPS
By: jlc.thomsen : July 3rd, 2021-18:02
They both fit well and I do like the ultra thin understated feel of the 5140p I want to thank the forum for the invaluable input!!!
always a personal decision
By: GirlAndHerWatches : July 3rd, 2021-20:52
and these two watches, besides being a perpetual calendar are so different! My vote is 5320G, it's actually so different and unique in today's collection yet is historical.
Yes. Definitely legible.
By: Costa (aka Connie) : July 4th, 2021-21:34
Sometimes I think the Patek PCs have a legibility problem. The 5320 does not. It’s high kn my list for my next Patek.
PP5140P
By: cmclee : July 4th, 2021-03:01
I see you are fine with either dial besides both models are about the same price range. Therefore, I think the PP5140P would be it. Firstly, the white prints over grey background makes the dial more interesting and less bothered by the 'irregular' fonts, ...
Thanks for your valuable input-
By: jlc.thomsen : July 6th, 2021-05:49
Yes given that the price of the 5140p was the same due to not being in the catalog anymore is certainly an argument-among all the other horological of course-
I’ve seen the 5140P-17 in the metal…
By: Chromatic Fugue : July 4th, 2021-04:05
and my major impression was that it was hard to see the hands against the dial; serious legibility issue there. That said, many people don’t care as much about legibility as I do.
Agreed, but just to be clear
By: Chromatic Fugue : July 4th, 2021-13:44
I wasn’t talking about the legibility of the subdials. I was taking about the legibility of the silver-colored hour and minute hands against the gray dial. I found it hard to tell the time without moving my wrist around to make the hands catch the light. ...
Ok, bear with me…
By: Chimaera : July 4th, 2021-08:49
I would get the 5320, and then stretch your budget and get a 5146p also. They are not at crazy prices, and I love mine - the grey dial is super and (to pick up the point on legibility) the AC dial is slightly less cluttered than the 5140 and there is (ele...
5320G
By: Jeff_M : July 8th, 2021-23:35
I like the causal option and that dial on the 5320 just works for me.
Yeah it’s beautiful.
By: jlc.thomsen : July 9th, 2021-19:11
I think the play and complexity of the stepped lugs with the case and straight cut sapphire is something that will fascinate most fans. I think Tim from Watchbox went down with this one😂in one of his presentations. Nice

5320
By: Poky : July 10th, 2021-11:30
As much as the two markers at 5 and 7 annoy me (IMO completely unnecessary to have them), the rest of the watch is really nice and very legible.
Thank all you for your valuable input and advice!!
By: jlc.thomsen : July 16th, 2021-16:48
Not sure how to reach everyone who helped sort out this thing. it was a tight run and we ended up going for the 5320g from our AD. So many elements played into the final verdict and we’re looking forward to the glas og champagne that he promised us when w...
THANK YOU!
By: jlc.thomsen : July 16th, 2021-18:01
We use “heirloom” for most coffees from Ethiopia because we cannot determine the dna and provenance exactly . They are a mix of wild and not wild cultivars reflecting a very long evolution of different species. but they are still so typical for Ethiopia. ...
Huge congrats to you! Excellent choice!
By: Mike H : July 16th, 2021-18:28
But to be honest they were 2 good options anyhow Glad that you could pull the trigger after being torn between the two, it is sometimes the most difficult choice (not to decide, but to renounce ). Well done, you will enjoy it tremendously!
Aaaahh. Interesting.
By: MTR : July 17th, 2021-08:46
I didn’t know that. Thanks a lot for this very interesting information, Erg2000 Cheers Thomas
Yes you’re right!
By: jlc.thomsen : July 17th, 2021-17:12
There is the 324 SQR with the retrograde date which is very similar and I missed the point that they’re not the same.
