Patek Philippe

But compared to their chronograph parallel the value just has not been there.. Having a 5270 and looking at both previous perpetual references.. the 3940 has not done nearly as well as the 5970. Is there a reason behind this madness, why the perpetual cal... 

Sorry discussion not allowed. My bad!

In my opinion the 3940/5140 are some of the nicest watches PP makes. Having said that I think the lack of a sweep second hand probably hurts them. I would shop well for a 5140 and also look at the Lange perpetual in rose, Stunning with a sweep second hand... 

and that watch was really difficult to read. I could not see the week day and month clearly but the date was great as well as the moon. Now I have 5140P and would not even dream about changing back; not even I would get a new Lange and say 30k in cash. Fo... 

Several times I looked at the L&S PC as an alternative to a Patek PC, but whenever I looked at one in my AD, I always struggled to read it, especially the even smaller leap year indicator. In the short time that I owned a 5140, I have to admit and say...

Agree with all the statements - and I do miss having a display back. But I have display backs for all my other pieces, including one with a cal 240 too. I LOVE my 3940.

that's one of the nicest references. But I have never had such an experience as with my 5140P. On the wrist the watch feels and looks so damn good! You know the feeling a PP perpetual in platinum is giving. Add there the magic of the dark blue dial and yo... 

is much more challenging (for the watchmakers) than a perpetual calendar, at least today. But not everybody can appreciate it and for example in China most of the customers are not interested in chronographs as a complication. If I had to choose between a... 

I wanted a 5140 for the longest time but opted for the 3940 because of the dial which I personally find easier to read. Like Kari, I don't think the 3940 could be made any more perfect. It' has everything one would want on a watch. The 36mm slim case and ...
