I prefer the classical look. It’s quintessential Patek Philippe. From the “glory days” I feel. I can’t stand the holes in the dial. For me, it is not a harmonious piece. The 5004 is balanced and complete. Everything one needs is there and no more. The newer watch, to me, seem to “try too hard.”
This is just my two cents. I’m sure others love it. It’s a beautiful watch to be sure; it’s just not to my liking.
