5339 & 5074 - sorry for poor quality shots and video...
... because I only had my cell phone then there. The 5339 example was impressively loud and nice! I thought 5074 would be a bit big, but it doesn't wear too big even for me. Cathedral gong may not be for everyone, but I like that, too. Bottom line - I could be happy with either one, if I could ever afford 
3939, 5339, 5078, 5016, and 5074 - only sigh... at undisclosed location somewhere in Japan.....
Here is the video:
Here is the Cathedral gong video:
Again, sorry for the bad video/ photo quality, but the point is the sound and the difference between the two. I was very lucky to just happen to be there and hear the latest MRs of PP.

The 5074P is my favorite Patek Philippe watch!
Very pleased that you were able to hear and appreciate the 5074P! This is truly a fantastically practical watch that is also quite beautiful at the same time.
I am not sure about the practicality aspect here
Surely, I know what you ment, by saying that. But: neither water nor even dust proof ... Great Pateks to have in a collection still, though. Regards Moritz
Ahh, unfortunately not practical in that regard...
But the 5074 is a very useful watch; a perpetual calendar is always appreciated in any setting, and the minute repeater is always a great way to tell the time in the dark or in bed when you don't want to open your eyes to see the time. Very practical for ...
So you mean it is afor a burglar and for people who bought a horrible bedrom recently?
Burglar: to tell time in the dark. Not to open your eyes in bed: horrible bedroom. I was thinking: best during a vintage convertible car race, where you wear gloves while driving (no rain or dust issue here). Or when her royal majesty is giving the honnou...
practicality....
... okay, as Patcick says, perpetual and MR combined are practical. And automatic winding is most practical for perpetual watch (I can't imagine winding perpetual calendar watch every morning.. thus while I love so much 3970 or 5970 manual winding were a ...
Sound differences come across quite well
Many thanks for this post. Difficult to choose between the crisp 5339 sound and the more voluminous 5074. I guess: if anybody can consider getting one, both should also not be a big problem. Regards Moritz
It really doesn't get much better! :)
Just one PP MR is a dream to fulfill! Thanks Ken.
It is really nice to hear the difference between
pateks models, is there anybody have the chance to compare PP with other brands like ALS, VC, AP, UN, IWC etc ?.. I am sure someone in this circle have the privilege and hope they share their experience.
5074
love it's case ( looks like the ...) On the other hand, a minute repeater might be the most difficult complication but I'm not interested in them. I'll always prefer a couple of chronographs
Amazing thank you for sharing these movies
Hi, Thank you for sharing these movies. It's a rare moment to hear such marvels. They are both amazingly sounding. I have a preference for the cathedral gongs (not hearing your movies, but from personal experience). Still some watches with "standard" gong...
