Interesting as I just fished mine out of the safe and wore it steadily for nearly a month. The watch is just retro enough to be interesting, but not so retro as to seem contrived. And with extended wearing it reminds me why I sold my 5059. The 5050 IMHO is so much more refined and understated. Jeff

it has baton hour markers matched with the semi-circle date dial and thus make the dial clean overall. If hour markers were numerals, then to me it would be too busy. Cheers, Gordon
Great piece. To me this is a quintessential PP...
well balanced and almost perfect. Compared to 5050 the newer R-PCs were butchered executions, in which the same caliber was simply fitted into larger cases resulting in chopped dates and disproportionally small day and month windows and fonts. Enjoy this ...
