Patek Philippe

5146... G

 

5146. I think white gold. The yellow gold is very appealing, but in the end I thought it had to be white gold, as I found it odd and slightly unsettling having a yellow, almost "sunny" Moon. Maybe I ought to find myself a good psychiatrist. I like the arabic numerals and although I was quite neutral to the Moon calendar, I have to say it is stunning. The photograph really does it no justice. The dial actually has a texture. I wish was a better photographer to show it. Sorry I gave a long reply to a simple question. As a newcomer to Patek, I did not want to start another "new arrival" thread, but given half a chance I thought I could share some of my thoughts on this fine, understated, elegant watch that has only just arrived home. On the other hand, if you like yellow gold I would say go for 5035, as it has no sunny moon and the dial is cleaner.

Right for me

I was faced with similar choice a couple of years ago. I was not completely happy with 5146 as I found it too “loud” for my taste. I decided to defer my purchase. A couple of month later I came across the 5146 in white gold and slate-grey dial. That did i...
