pp 5146
hi, i agree i have a pp51451j that i ware every day. i think is a beautiful and usable watch. why it is not the favorite of afficionados i do not know, but maybe because is more popular than the pc's. howver i also like the size of the 5146 most of the pc's are 37mm. maybe patek should cut the production of ac's so they bocome more collectible to afficionados. thanks jorge

5146 - why is this not an afficianado's watch?
It is often said that the annual calenders are not a true horologist's watch but i can't see what is the difference with say a perpetual calender? in fact, there seems to be a hierarchy even amongst ADs with calatravas & 24s, then 'simple' complications s...
why is a honda accord not as desireable as a mercedes e class?
Honda's are wonderfully well made and the eclass isn't really any better.. There's just a certain subtle something - a lineage and history that gives the benz it's advantage over the highly capable, more moderately priced honda. The 5146 is just too comon...
i see what ur saying..
you pay soooo much more just for that extra day once every 4 years... i feel the 5146 is a great value for what it is..
too many of them ?
5398, 5146, 4937, 5135 and there are a lot of 5146 out there. It is a VERY nice watch but you'll find them at every dealer. The annual Patek is like the Rolex submariner. Very popular but not difficult to get. A friend of mine has one and I love this watc...
Bruno, I agree and understand what you are saying
But you could also include the Calatrava range and to a degree the 5140 Nearly every AD that I have visited in recent months will have a good range of all these models
AC & PC
I guess everyone seems to say ADs are awashed with Annual Calendars, but i also think it is not that different for Perpetual Calendars. Most ADs have at least have a couple of Perpetual Calendars put in the safe, hoping to move the Annual Calendars first....
When you think annual calenders , what comes to mind first ?
Patek of course ! They made AC popular so its wrong to say 5146 is not an afficianado's watch. George
I think annual calendars are very typical of PP...
...and they are very useful as well. By nature, afficianados tend to prefer the the most sophisticated level of a certain complication category and I believe PP is very much aware of this fact. I believe afficianados are right to think so since PCs are pr...
Ahmet those photos of your AC's are truely stunning.
With regards to difference of craftmanship/workshop between AC & PC I would think that apart from the additional complication of the PC. That there is no difference on the question of craftmanship etc.
btw, anobody has this one ?
I really LOVE this one, the yellow gold with this dial is stunning...
agreed
bruno, i have seen this in the flesh and the color combination is simply stunning, let alone its value which is priced very realistically for such a watch. Mech.
