this is my dream patek, yes it isn't a perpetual calendar like Charlie Sheen's, but it is an amazing interpretation of modern vs. classic design w/ new design innovations by implementing an Annual Calendar mechanism.  This I believe is the route Thierry should have taken, rather than contemporize the entire collection w/ fat markers and grossly huge cases.  Enjoy in good health my friend, and pass it for generations to come and enjoy.

Happy fathers day and I hope there will be an understated complicated PP this year !

PP 5125G has been my all-time-favorite since I saw it in the metal and finally had the pleasure of acquiring one early this year. Such a wonderfully executed piece that, to me, is why I love PP 1. Perfect size 37 mm for my wrist, and thickness that is jus...  

Humongous Congrats!

That is possibly the best looking Patek that was made specifically for an AD. Great choice! Really, really like this annual calendar. Enjoy Moritz

The perfect size is always the one ...

that fits to your wrist, no matter what others are thinking. This one looks just perfect on your wrist. It is a very nice watch you have, but for my taste even the "hidden" Wempe on the dial was a no go those days. Do I prefer the bigger "wording" on the ... 

Same here.

Proportion is key. I don't have a big wrist also. Thus , 36 to 39 is optimal for me. The 5125 is very nice. Almost indistinguishable from 5396. Will we have more and more look alike PP references in future ?

Thank you for your comments...

but 5396 at 39 mm with a large PP logo and flat, mirror-like surfaces shines and shouts out on your wrist. It really looks like an expensive watch. I like the 5396, however I did not find it understated at all, especially when compared to the 5125. I also...

and glad to know that I am not alone feeling disappointed with the new direction of PP with bigger everything. Best Jim

Same budget...but a almost perpetual vintage

Evaluate also 3940G, 5038G and 5039G. Same budget, but an important difference....Perpetual not annual...
