Maybe Josef Ackermanns taste is an inspiration...
Just to recap: a Swiss manager and chairman of the Deutsche Bank .
His choice: the 5120G !
My secret tip ! A decent build, extra thin automatic caliber 240 accommodating, srewed ( ! ) back offering, timeless beauty !
PERFECT !
If too small: the bigger brother 5119G !
They are also very, very budget friendly ...

I currently have 5711/A as my daily beater and a 5970G as of my rarely wear peice, looking to get a daily dressy watch for regular business meeting. I have been comparing 5396G (sector dial) or a 5130G (world time) or perphas a 5146G. My budget is limited...
5146
I love the 5146 as a daily wearer. My daily watch is a 5146P-perfect balance --look and feel for everyday wear. Although I just got a 5960P and it will get some of that wrist time--although mostly weekend time! Go for the 5146--you won't regret it.
5130
I just like it the best. It's also the one that will require the least resetting if you don't wear it for a few days and it stops. Also you've got a perpetual calendar, so I'd get a new complication instead of the annual. A
Check out the Gondolo 5124
I'm in the same kind of boat as you, The 5124 is certainly great for business settings. I never thought that I would go for a rectangular, but an open mind and slow to make a decision led to this model just looking better each time I thought about it. Awa...
For Daily Business
For daily business a date function, in my opinion, is a must. That narrows it to the 5396 and the 5196. For a new watch your closer with your budget with the 5196....and in a preowned scenario either one can be found with some patients. I would look for t...
5130, without dout!
Among all those you mentionned, the 5130 offers a friendly complication, and most important, the PP WT is the Queen of all the WTs! Well, to be honest, I am totally biased and sold to the Patek World Time, being 5110 or 5130. It is such a polyvalent watch...
for the owners of the WT in the U.S
Doesn't it bother you about daytime saving time + - 1 hours?
In the U.S during Winter we change time and change back during summer
(+) (-)1 hour each time maybe I am not very good explains it......sorry
Ok, now I get it, Robert.
Same in Europe, but what I noticed is that for a very few weeks ( maybe 2 or 3 ) during these changes of time, there is a delay between Europe and US. So, there is a difference of one hour for 2 or 3 weeks, only. Except that, this is exactly the same betw...
Funny I like these exact three you have mentioned from PP....
that are within my budget but only own the 5146/1G as I much prefer one on bracelet. I would have gotten the 5130G no doubt if there is a way to fit the bracelet onto it. I think you should go for the 5130G too since you already have a Perpetual. Goh
went to the AD today and try all three pieces ...
usually when I put on a watch, I would know right away which one is the right one. But not this time. thank you for all the great feedbacks. will let you guys know which one I have decided.
5146G or 5130G
I find it hard to justify the extra cost of the 5396 over 5146 as "technically" they are the same. The 5130 is beautifully finished but will you use the WT function often? Please post a wrist shot after you make your decision.
I agree with you in regards to the WT.................
But I think that you would also have to consider, when looking at the two AC's which one you can read more easily.

The world doesn't belong exclusively to Patek Philippe. If you;re looking for a discrete dressy daily wearer in white metal this could be a really good choice. And you should not forget the iconic Lange 1. The movements and finishing are impeccable and ea...

which patek?
I would go for the PP5130 bec it is very simply a stunning watch. The 5146 just doesn't have the presence in my view. If u are minded for the 5396 I wold settle for the new model 5396 and not the one with the sector dial. Why? Bec tof its classic looks an...
If it has to be PP
Then the 5146G or P. The dial is better balanced than the "Clarence the cross-eyed lion" look of the 5396 and is easier to read at a glance with the closer spacing of the day/month/date dials and window. The bezel on the 5396 is also going to be one of th...
gald that you mention about 5396 been a scratch magnet
when I tried the 5396 at the AD, it already has (some) hair line scratches around the bazel and a tiny dint. I don't know where are the scratch come from but I will assume they are from people trying on and taking off. And of course they still consider it...
5205 or 5196P?
I have heard others say that the 5146 is sometimes a bit hard to read; the dial is a bit busy, and that is why PP is essentially replacing it with the 5205 and the new 5396. Have you thought about the 5205? Or perhaps the 5196P? the 5196P is PP's base pla...
