Ref. 5004: which metal?
Here are three Perpetual Calendar Split Second Chronographs ref. 5004 belonging to the collection of @ryochan5711 : Platinum - silver dial (5004P) White gold - salmon dial (5004G) Rose gold - silver dial (5004R) Rose gold is my top choice , for its unique...
I would have to go with the white dial P version as it is the most versatile and would work in both a professional and a casual setting ...
All three are heavy hitters of course, it doesn't get any better than this imho (well, the 5370P would be on par for me). Cheers, Pieter
I completely understand your preference, Pieter.
And I agree with you on the 5370P as well. Best, Emmanuel
This reference is a pinnacle indeed.
I'm with you concerning the rare R model! Best, Emmanuel
I know the 5004A is rare and expensive. However, for the following two reasons, I'm not particularly keen on owning one:
① The bar indices don't suit the dial design of the 5004. ② I've heard from an owner that they were surprised by how light the A is (I've never actually owned one myself).
I’m not fond of the indices either
and the lightness would also be a downside for me. Best, Emmanuel
Hi Emmanuel, I would prefer
ALL three because each metal has its own unique feel ! 😂 If I must, salmon would be my choice because of the dial color. Outside these three, my favorite would be below👇 The “A”👆that belongs to a friend ...
Yes, I completely understand the appeal of the steel variant.
However, personally, I wouldn't want such a grail in steel: I would want a precious metal... 🤷🏽♂️ Best, Emmanuel
The truth is that ANY 5004 is a dream.
But the rarity of A and the mere fact that patek made a grand complication in A is just bonkers and makes it super collectible. If not A, it would be a P for me.
Yes, @ryochan5711 has posted incredible shots of his watches!
And I fully understand your preference for "white", but do you mean white gold or platinum? Best, Emmanuel
Good lord
I’d have any of them or preferably all of them! The p with silver dial is lovely but j would be the classic choice!
