Dear all, I'm not usually a reader of the PP forum; however, recently, I've been trying to learn more about it to figure out what all the fuss is about. One of the complicate functions by PP that I personally am hugely fond of is the Annual Calendar. It i... 

A lady AD gave me her, honest, opinion about large watches: " Vulgar" she said ... This might not apply to all big watches but still it is a different "need" that is served by them ... Back to your inquiry: 5056 is not limited, was the first release of an... 

I just got a 5146P so I'm a little biased. I looked at both models but liked the dial better on the 5146. I got a 2007 model that had the 315 movement if you want a slower beat. I don't think the 5146 is that much bigger in my eyes at least. Either way I ...

5056P is a very nice watch which I am very fond of. Mine is currently at the home base in Geneva for a service. I very much look forward to get it back ship shape. The size is relatively small by todays standards. I find it however very nice on the wrist ... 

I've read that quote in the past from Christies. I've also heard too that 5146P production is probably around 10% of total 5146's out there so that's a pretty low number too if correct.

The 5056P only came in Platinum, the dial was the first time around they used that slated gray similarly used in the 5146 but slightly different tone. I think the 5056P is one of the best PP ever, perfect size too. Expectation is around 1000 pieces done 5... 

the slate grey of the 5056 has been THE standard for me to measure all ther slate grey from every other brands since. also first to feature the 6 oclock diamond on case to denote Platinum model. best, Horo

I decided on the 5059P! This shot was taken by my mobile in a dim environment...  

Best, Horo

I went through the same process of deciding between the 5056p and the 5146. Eventually I chose the 5056p. Wear it in good health. Cheers! WS

so mates, I decided to empty my wallet again....going in for a 5056P......thank you thank you in advance Here is the little problem or rather a query to the owners and admirers.....I am looking at this movement 315/199 rite but I notice two things very od...  

Best Annual Calender from Patek, ............ innovative design, inexpensive, subtle but elegance, easy to use & the Roman characters are just so classical! Estimated about 200 pieces were produced each years. Down point is the over reflectile glass! Wris...  

and chosen wisely although there was no wrong answer here. The 5056P was my first love from Patek and it still grabs my heart every time I see it. Enjoy it in good health

Congratulations to your annual calendar! Yes, that bothers me also a lot at times, the reflections from the saphire. It can nearly spoil a watch ... very annoying. Regards Moritz

because I thnk the size is perfect. I think the 5146 is a tad on the big size. Lately I have been thinking of off loading it to free up some cash for another piece. However, having seen all these posts, I am having 2nd thought again. Cheers! WS
