With no disrespect to anyone who owns these watches I am wondering how others feel about the small numerals used to squeeze in between the subdials on certain Patek references.
I will never understand why/Patek lets this happen for some of their (otherwise) nicest and most important references (eg 5270, 5140). Perhaps there is a charm to it, but to me it just seems sloppy, which is so surprising for a company that goes far out of its way so that nothing is sloppy. (Example = instantaneous minute counter intuitive their chronographs).
How do others feel about this?

i *really* dislike it, i hadn't ever noticed it on the 5270
For the volume patek philippe sells and the strength of their market position i would expect to movements that are fully harmonious with the watch. in addition to these examples, i've harped on it many times but the lack of an appropriately sized movement...
It does not bother me either! :-)
At least they managed to squeeze all the numbers in.
I have learned to not be bothered
By the font. But the chin the PCCs had initially did bother me. Not because of the chin as much as because the second hand could not reach the hash marks. I think it also wiped out a couple minute markers.
Coca Cola is worth nothing. The name is worth all the money in the world.
Mostly people pay for a name, a mirage, a fantasy. But to each his own.
I think its an issue
At this price point, it looks sloppy (and not deliberate and beautifully executed like on FPJ CS dial). However, this pales vs the counters not being on the same 3-9 horizon line on 5279 and 5370 but lowered, and this is a function of their in-house movem...
Is there actually a more popular ...
perpetual calendar in the modern PP lineup besides the 5140 and its 3940 predecessor, which shared the same feature? Maybe I’m missing something, but these are both winners.
OK, so I did a little surfing ...
and I now understand why some people see an important distinction between the 3490 and the 5140 (and 5270) on precisely this issue. www.watchprosite.com . So never mind!
Yes it bugs me a lot.. look carefully - 5970p
Also has this quirk.. but somehow 5970g doesn’t.. and tats why I prefer the Gs 😂
