Patek 5140P vs 5140G Opinions appreciated
Finally I was able to see the 5140P in the metal and put on my wrist. Stunning watch indeed. Although I liked it very much and considering the purchase, I am hesitant because it looked a bit like fashion jewelery. My 5140G looks very understated and timeless next to it. Am I over-reacting to the gorgeous dial of 5140P ? Since I wear my watches daily, I do not want them to stand out too much and/or lose interest in wearing them. 5140P stroke a strange chord in my mind that I may lose interest in wearing it because of its fashionably good looks. Although perceptions are very personal, I still will greatly appreciate the opinions of Patek forum members on this topic. Thanks and cheers. Jim

I really was looking forward to the 5140P coming out. I sold a 5070P because I just couldn't fall for the overall design of that reference, but I missed that gorgeous blue dial! I thought the 5140 with blue dial would be the perfect answer. When I saw it ...
3940P as well

Yes, I also considered seriously the 3940P. Two reasons I did not get it: Most importantly no exhibition back. That was surprising as 3940G had both the metal and exhibition backs. The 3940P also look a bit small on my wrist. Too bad I cannot order an exh...
