Maybe off topic but
I think I recall reading (either A Collected Man or Watch Brothers London) that the Moonphase blue sky disc on the 36mm is lapis? Same on 39mm?
Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Perpetual Calendar Skeleton 39 or 36 mm?
Smaller for me. 39 mm: My choice? 36 mm because of the case, lugs, and bezel. You? Best, Nicolas ...
I would pick 39mm
because it fits my wrist better. That said, I’d be happy with either of them 😁
36mm
Not only because it would fit me better, but the design is better too. No need for the thicker bezel or thicker lugs on a watch like this.
I wouldn’t mind a 39mm watch in general
However, the 36mm is more coherent for me in this case. One small remark though, they could have made the hands of the sub dials a bit shorter. Dirk
36mm
But for some reason, this tuscan dial appeals more to me Credit a collected man ...
The first one, the smaller one. It looks more original and refined.
I suppose the 39 mm one is a later reedition.
For me 39 all the way. This was my choice
and I love it! All are beautiful however! Cannot go wrong. ...
I like both!
Strap on the 36mm looks more harmonious to the watch than the strap on the 39mm. But that's me being a nitpick.
Tough call
I have been a fan of the 36mm more than the 39mm. What I just noticed was the 39mm has a legible minute track.
Sub dial legibility
I am a fan of 36mm as I find that size most suited to my wrist. These look great ‘blown up’ in a nice picture but how legible are sub dials on a 36mm watch in actual use? Can any owners comment please? I think that I would have to carry a loupe to read th...
You are raising a very interesting question through your comment about legibility. and it is not the first time we discuss dials legibility. BUT...
We should honestly wonder ( and I include myself here ) if the problem is the dial or... our tired eyes. 20 years ago, I had no problem reading the time on such dials. Now it is not as easy as it was before.

Beautiful pieces Mon Ami. From a pure
Aesthetic perspective, I enjoy the dial fonts and leap year colorization for readability, and translucent moonphase indicator of the 36mm. I like both the stepped bezel and flat bezel equally. But 36mm lugs win… 36 is my vote
For me the 36mm is much more harmonious.
Especially the bezel and lugs look more elegant and refined. But I am not sure about readability (for both).
