Oh, that's right!
I forgot there is a line that says "Caliber: ____" I was thinking that it only had the movement and case serial number and one cannot tell from the movement serial number whether or not the movement is a 315 or a 324. But that's not applicable since there's an actual description line for the caliber.
Thanks again.
patek 5146g
I am seriously considering taking the plunge on a patek philippe 5146 with the cream dial. Anyone with any knowledge of this watch? I've always been a Zenith guy, but thought was time to broaden my horizons....and empty my wallet. Thanks.
Very sensible choice ....
and a great looking classic annual calender. Cream dial is also my favorite and personally I would prefer one with the newer cal.324. Good luck!

not entirely correct re: 8 arms on 315
I have a 5146J with slate dial which I adore, but mine is the transitional model, it has the 315 movement but it has the newer 4 arms on the balance just like the balance on the 324.
Very usefull and practical Patek...
...It's a classic. Here is one with cream dial. Sincerely Ahmet...
I love the 5146
my fave is the 5146P for the dark ebony-gray dial and markers without numerals... and the small detail of the 'frame' around the date window.. it all adds up to what we are all saying here... a very natural wristwatch that goes with everything... The Cala...
IMO you can't go wrong with getting a 5146G...
Its a brilliant watch. I have owned both the J & G with the cream coloured dial. IMO the combination that you have chosen is an excellent one. The 1st one that I had (J) came with the 315 movement. But when I replaced it late last year it came with the ne...
