It's a beautiful watch but small...

33.3mm. It is very thin though at 6.75mm. The other downside (imho) is the 215 movement. It seems that it is (still, I believe) PP's catch-all movement they put in a lot of watches.
If it was a good price and I had a small wrist I might be tempted, but I would prefer the 240 movement until PP decides to make a new manual to fit modern sizes (38-40mm).
Good luck.

What is the opinion on 5022J?
By: Poky : April 7th, 2019-15:22
An opportunity has come up to purchase one (2001). Reasonable condition, box, papers and serviced by PP one year ago. Good price too. Just not sure about it given the age of the watch. Any opinion on this particular model? ...

I think this is a greatvwatch. The 5022 is (by today’s standards) too small for my wrist. I still think it’s an excellent watch and I will get one eventually. My favorite configuration of the 5022 is in rose gold with a rose dial.
Out of curiousity

does your favourite configuration come with Breguet hands and numerals because I feel this is the essence of the 5022? And I agree, it is a great watch
The size is good.

5022 Price

5022 is a great size for my wrist. And that beautiful Breguet hands and numerals. Can you share the price you were offered? My local dealer has a white gold version in stock and I am still negotiating pricing with him.
Your decision

If you love it, buy it. If not, don’t.
