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,

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
36!

36mm

...and it looks slimmer too, but that might just be the photo angle.
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...
Agreed!

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?

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
Like that?

seem to explode from the frail case, which I enjoy.
