This should probably be looked at as two separate decisions . . .
Do you want to move on from the Patek? If so, the Galet doesn’t seem to be comparable to it because it is not quite as dressy and does not share the same complications. It is a wonderful watch in its own right but it doesn’t exactly replace the annual calendar.
I also have felt that the Galet Square looks a bit like Panerai cushion cases, albeit more refined. For me, since I have a couple of Panerai’s in the collection, I would avoid that particular line by LF.
PP5146P for LF Galet Square?
This 5146P was the first high-end watch I bought (about 10 years ago). I don’t wear it as much as it deserves, and lately I’ve been considering selling it and instead buying the Laurent Ferrier Galet Square, which I find intriguing and unlike any other wa...
Tough
I like the 5146p for the complication. You have CdV chrono and this is an annual calendar. For LF, that watch is spectacular... I would go for the newly released retro model which I find stunning. I'd say that is definitely more unique/ special than the P...
Old photo
I actually have worn the watch more recently but was using an old photo. But your point still stands - I don’t wear it enough. I do like the gray dial though.
It’s a no for me.
The 5146P is on the rarer side of this reference, it’s pert of the most prestigious house of horology, it’s a complication that was invented by Patek, an eternal classic. The LF is a nice watch, but it’s future is questionable( numerous financial issues),...

As Nicolas said, I also recommend you a LF Galet Square with his micro-rotor
My LF GS boreal is awesome & if I have to choose one these days the new Antoine de Macedo Automne will be my choice ;-) Perfect to me on my 160mm wrist. Great move ++++ IMHO
Good advice
It’s not easy to see LFs in the metal, but I am planning a trip to an AD to try one on. I’m attracted to a cushion shape case because I don’t have one. I’m also considering a VC 1921, for a wonderful variation on a cushion shape. If VC were to come out wi...
IMO if a watch does not get much
wrist time, then this situation says a lot ！ Good luck with your decision !
