5056P
"true" that my interest stem from the fact it has been discontinued, I know I won't be wearing too much of it because of the size of the dial, but I do enjoy to "collect" special pcs. This is the reason (me a newbie in PP) ask to the forum for advice if the 5056P is worth to acquire, of course there are still others on my wanted list.
thanks guys for the cmt, I think I'll pass with this one, and get the PP which I "like" totally.
cheers
5056P ?? and why
Hi, this is my first time posting, have been collecting Panerai for sometime, but caught the PP virus since a year. I am being offered a discontinued 5056P by my AD, like it except the small dial. Should I save the $$ for the new 5146J or the 5056P is a p...
Re: I don't get it...
It seems from your post that there are aspects of the 5056P that you don't like, yet you are asking the forum if you should not "miss" it. Don't intend to sound confrontational, but I am curious why you are even considering the piece if that is the case. ...

5056P
5056P "Small size"? I don't understand your comment. No one had any complaints about case size, before the new annual calendars; which I believe are are all of 1mm larger. At least the movement of the 5056P fits its case, unlike so many neww PP models tha...
Hi, Peter,....
...I didn't "complain" at all - personally I like it very much as it is. I just can imagine that others, owning and wearing mainly larger watches (like Panerai) could see it as a bit small. That's why I recommended to have a look at it in the flesh - I ju...
5056P decision
Gentlemen, thank you very much for the cmts, you have all made your pts. Went back to AD and spent 1/2 hour looking at the pc again, can't disagree much for the movement, dial which are very very very nice and well proportioned....but when laid on my wris...
Good choice, Francis...
one should have no doubts when purchasing a Patek. When the right piece comes along - you will 'know' ;-)
Collector
Hi Peter. The 5056p exemplifies the best of both of its predecessors, the 5035 and the 5036/1. Furthermore, the diamond it bears hidden between its lugs hallmarks the white metal as platinum -- the first such use of a diamond by Patek Philippe. It is a re...
