Patek Philippe 5140P.
A cool case and a beautiful dial and this Cal 240 in all its beauty.
Not sure I prefer it to the 3940, but I can confess that it is another tempting one.
Always a great pleasure to see one.
Best,
Nicolas

They don't bother me as much as they used to...
...but they could have done a better job : )
Hmmm… well said. Shrunken/cut off numerals generally turn me away.
Interesting that Journe took that concept and made it into his design ethos 😜
5149 and 3940 are similar to me (dial color aside), whereas 3940
does not have the compressed “27” numeral on the date wheel. Does this small detail make a difference to you ?
I have a deep love for 3940.
I’ve tried it numerous times but I can’t pull the trigger. It’s just a bit too small. So I looked into the 5140 bc it wears slightly larger. And although I think it’s an absolute stunner, I still prefer 3940.
That‘s a real beauty !.. Its midnight blue makes it somehow mysterious
Thx for sharing ! hs111 PS: Do I remember correctly that all subdials with time/date parameters can be set by the crown ? (Or did I mix it up with another PP PC ?)
