Patek 5140P vs 5140G Opinions appreciated
Finally I was able to see the 5140P in the metal and put on my wrist. Stunning watch indeed. Although I liked it very much and considering the purchase, I am hesitant because it looked a bit like fashion jewelery. My 5140G looks very understated and timeless next to it. Am I over-reacting to the gorgeous dial of 5140P ? Since I wear my watches daily, I do not want them to stand out too much and/or lose interest in wearing them. 5140P stroke a strange chord in my mind that I may lose interest in wearing it because of its fashionably good looks. Although perceptions are very personal, I still will greatly appreciate the opinions of Patek forum members on this topic. Thanks and cheers. Jim

I don't see the 5140 as a fashion product.
Blue has been used for a while on Platinum PP watches ( as, for example the 5110, 5130, 5070 ... ). Now, the question is: Will you get rid of it, compared to a 5140G? That is the true question. In your case, from what I read, you'd better pass on it: You'...
5140
Agree that the 5140P is an "eye catcher". Less understated than the G. If you are hesitant about the P, and want something a bit more noticeable than the G, try on the "budget" model......the 5140J. Has a vintage sort of look, and who knows, yellow gold m...
Many, many watches here can be considered fashion items ...
... to the untrained eye. Just the connoisseur wil understand what you are wearing. To help you in your "misery": yes, the 5140 p looks a bit playful with the white print and white hands. You must like it or you simply leave it. I personally would choose ...
This watch.....
is growing and growing on me.... The more that I look at it the more I like it.... Elegant and quite discreet... Although I prefer platinum, for this I would either go for the one that you have or, most probably for the J, the yellow gold model.... The bl...
Too blue for me...
I really was looking forward to the 5140P coming out. I sold a 5070P because I just couldn't fall for the overall design of that reference, but I missed that gorgeous blue dial! I thought the 5140 with blue dial would be the perfect answer. When I saw it ...
3940P as well
Yes, I also considered seriously the 3940P. Two reasons I did not get it: Most importantly no exhibition back. That was surprising as 3940G had both the metal and exhibition backs. The 3940P also look a bit small on my wrist. Too bad I cannot order an exh...
