I’m not fond of the indices either
and the lightness would also be a downside for me.

Ref. 5004: which metal?
Here are three Perpetual Calendar Split Second Chronographs ref. 5004 belonging to the collection of @ryochan5711 : Platinum - silver dial (5004P) White gold - salmon dial (5004G) Rose gold - silver dial (5004R) Rose gold is my top choice , for its unique...
I would have to go with the white dial P version as it is the most versatile and would work in both a professional and a casual setting ...
All three are heavy hitters of course, it doesn't get any better than this imho (well, the 5370P would be on par for me). Cheers, Pieter
I completely understand your preference, Pieter.
And I agree with you on the 5370P as well. Best, Emmanuel
This reference is a pinnacle indeed.
I'm with you concerning the rare R model! Best, Emmanuel
I know the 5004A is rare and expensive. However, for the following two reasons, I'm not particularly keen on owning one:
① The bar indices don't suit the dial design of the 5004. ② I've heard from an owner that they were surprised by how light the A is (I've never actually owned one myself).

I am a huge fan of steel on 'fancy' watches...
...lighter and more scratch-resistant...my personal 'grail'... ...
Hi Emmanuel, I would prefer
ALL three because each metal has its own unique feel ! 😂 If I must, salmon would be my choice because of the dial color. Outside these three, my favorite would be below👇 The “A”👆that belongs to a friend ...
Yes, I completely understand the appeal of the steel variant.
However, personally, I wouldn't want such a grail in steel: I would want a precious metal... 🤷🏽♂️ Best, Emmanuel
The truth is that ANY 5004 is a dream.
But the rarity of A and the mere fact that patek made a grand complication in A is just bonkers and makes it super collectible. If not A, it would be a P for me.
Yes, @ryochan5711 has posted incredible shots of his watches!
And I fully understand your preference for "white", but do you mean white gold or platinum? Best, Emmanuel
Good lord
I’d have any of them or preferably all of them! The p with silver dial is lovely but j would be the classic choice!
It does look modern
And it has one of my must have’s and it’s the glow in the dark hour and minutes hands. Can’t be without them since I wear my watches 24/7, need to be able to tell the time in the dark.
