Vacheron Constantin Top Wind / Patek Philippe 5196P. An interesting side by side picture.

When you are reading the title, you are certainly wondering what's hidden behind it. 


The answer is simple: The dials, which are very close. Which I find very interesting.


And a manual winding movement in both cases. 

The Patek has a platinum case, and is 37 mm big, while the Vacheron is 31 mm... Same size than a Patek 96. 

The Patek looks like a giant, compared to the Vacheron. 

A pity I didn't decide to grab this Vacheron, as it was really great, and not too small on my wrist. 

Best,

Nicolas

Pity that for the PP, the movement is too small. The only imperfection I see. All the best my friend, Alex

I must say, this style is very much my taste as i favor simple, beatiful watches the most. The grey hues and tones with polished parts in a clear, elegant composition makes these watches some of the most delicious. What a stunning set. Something very cool... 

Yes, even better.

Let’s say you buy the Vacheron then I will buy the Patek and we will take the picture together. Deal? 😃

Deal! [nt]

Nicolas, you've found a beauty there

my heart beats faster for the V&C, and I must share a brief story. These "jubilee watches" with the crown between the lugs were created for their 150th anniversary in 1935 (back when they claimed a founding date of 1785). Cleverly, they used old Lepin...  

The Lepine-Type movement, for you.

You missed it

You should have picked the Vacheron Constantin . It`s a Unique Master piece and 31 mm was a typical size in its period .

Those are the best looking 31mm dress watches. Very elegant. And when you have bonny wrists just like me, they look soo good. Here’s my similar one: I’m looking for a nice black flat alligator strap for it. Best. René ...  

Very nice one, René! [nt]
