Patek Philippe

For those of you who have seen both in the metal, which do you prefer and why? I understand that the P is the crowd favorite, in part because of the blue guilloche dial center, which the G lacks. I am wondering whether that blue dial makes it easier or ha... 

I went with the G for legibility. To your point, always found the P a little harder in certain light. That said, any 5110 is amazing and could just as easily argue for the P over the G.

It is actually very legible. With a slight turn of the wrist you get light to reflect off the platinum hands and it’s easily readable. In the meantime you take in the beautiful blue Guilloche background. It’s a piece of artwork. Telling the time is almost...
