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 just re read my post above and am a bit curious how you could read some sort of "complain" about the size in there?
But perhaps it's my poor englsh
In any case, I love it as it is.
BTW, the movement versus case size is an entirely different issue - do't get me started on this 
There are many aspects around this and in my humble oppinion it's not thateasy - there are many incredibly nice watches with larger cases and relatively small movements inside - but for good reasons.
Best reards

5056P ?? and why
By: francis : June 28th, 2007-23:34

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 "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. 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...
