Prefer 5205G
I consider them both in the same category of "not really dress watches" because I hold the notion--the origins of which are obscure--that a true dress watch does not have subdials, a moonphase display, or other obvious complications. My reasons for preferring the 5205G are: larger size, fewer subdials, preference for apertures, more modern design, love the concave bezel, and love the sculpted lugs. As for suitability, I think both work with suits but the 5146 is too small to be worn with short sleeves unless one has a small wrist. Most of these points, as usual, are merely matters of taste, style, and cultural norms.

5146g or 5205g
Which one would you choose. 5146g or 5205g. Pls share you opinion Thanks....
If money is not an issue,
then 5140... But out from those two, I would rather take 5205. However, 5146 is a nice basic Annual Calendar and that is around 4k cheaper than 5205. Best, Kari
5146 imho..
...its just a better all-rounder (from suit to jeans and tees) where the 5205 works best with a suit. personally i'd go for the slate dial on brown strap which i think is the ultimate combo. good luck whatever you choose. Alan.
Out of exact these: the5146
... as I do not like a 24h dial around a mp so much. Furthermore the 5205g is a sporty watch due to its size: fairly big. The chamfered case is quite cool but still it is a pure casual elegance watch. The 5146, nearly in any variant, can do both: casual a...
I agree with Moritz on this one
I purchased th 5146g when it first was released. I absolutely love this watch. I was in fact wearing this watch today. I was admiring it after lunch as the sun finally came out here and the slate dial is stunning. But I also really love the raised numeral...
Nice shots from you and from Fernando there!
I find the slate wg version interesting as it hides all the information a bit, leaves all very discrete in the background. That is also slightly the same with the 5205, but here due to the reflectice saphire and the radiant dial the additional hands are n...
I love both designs but...
Hi, I love both designs but for a moderate wrist like mine I would pick a slate dial 5146G! I associate Patek Philippe with moderately thick watches. If it had not gone so far in price I would have picked it with pleasure, even instead of the 5711/1A Best...

5146
I personally love the 5146, and if I was buying again today I would have made the same choice....
5205G
is my choice. I feel that the watch looks smaller than 40 mm, making it suitable for suit and business casual. For me, I would not wear 5146 or 5205 with casual wear. Also the concave bezel makes it less likely to get scratched. The only issue I have with...
Nice pic, agree with your comment. I took a different approach
And went with the grey dial 5205 for its legibility at night and classy look. I used this watch at special events and at work. It does go well with the suit....
such a difficult choice
They're such different watches. I've had a look at both, plus the 5396. The 5146 is traditional classic Patek IMO. I agree it does seem to go with casual wear, but it's certainly a dressy watch as there is a lot going on on the dial. The 5205 couldn't rea...
5146g grey dial for me
as I just like the dial display. I have other watches with window display, this classic dial display is just right, not too busy, you can still read it clearly even with my aging eyes. Also, the 39mm size is just perfect for my wrist. I have mine in grey ...
You have quite a difficult on your hands......
I have had the pleasure of owning two of the models in the 5146 range (J&G) but in my case both dials were cream in colour for legibility reasons. But I have to say that the slate dial in Y/G looks stunning. For the past 18 months I have had the privi...
Finally my decision made
I go with my heart and Pick this up yesterday my choice is this . . . Although black was the majority but i admit i am the silver fans for this watch, not only it is more legible but also looks more clean and elegant. I must say black looks stunning and y...
A big, big congrats on this purchase!
The grey version is much more legible than the black one, so also here "the right choice" made. Having said that, the black one is great if you like a stealth look of a watch, but still under dark condition difficult to read. What I like about the 5205 in...
Looks fabulous...
On a long sleeves polo with grey suit as you strap the 5205g silvery rhodiumed grey as seen in that famous Patek print ad. Glad to welcome you to the 5205g club, Randy!
