Hello,
I own 4 x Patek Philippe watches that are 37mm in diameter.
The strangest thing is that they feel so different.
Let me explain.
My 5110 WorldTime feels absolutely perfect albeit a wee bit small. It uses a 20mm strap tapering down to 14mm.
My 5035 Annual Calendar feels so small! WHY?????
Well it uses a 19mm strap tapering down to 14mm
It also has an inverted bezel - scoping in towards the watch.
It is also quite thick to accomodate the first general annual calendar 315 movement.
My 5127 feels the best overall.
Using a 20mm strap tapering down to 16mm.
I have fitted mine with a deployent clasp (16mm also)
My 5196 is the biggest of the 37mm pieces.
21mm strap tapering down to 16mm.
The length (tope of lug to bottom of lug) is also another important point.
I believe 37mm can wear so differently.
Personally I love all my 37mm pieces........ My 5296 at 38mm feels positively monsterous!
