Too blue for me...
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 in the metal it just didn't have the same impact as the 5070 blue dial. It is brighter and "blingy-er" than I had hoped and my impression was that it would not stand the test of time.
Just to confuse the matter further, I recently traded my 5140G for a 3940P. After a lot of analysis, I kept leaning toward the subtle differences of the 3940 over the 5140. If you want to drive yourself crazy, contemplate that one for a while!
Best regard,

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 timel...
I don't see the 5140 as a fashion product.
Blue has been used for a while on Platinum PP watches ( as, for example the 5110, 5130, 5070 ... ). Now, the question is: Will you get rid of it, compared to a 5140G? That is the true question. In your case, from what I read, you'd better pass on it: You'...
5140
Agree that the 5140P is an "eye catcher". Less understated than the G. If you are hesitant about the P, and want something a bit more noticeable than the G, try on the "budget" model......the 5140J. Has a vintage sort of look, and who knows, yellow gold m...
Many, many watches here can be considered fashion items ...

is growing and growing on me.... The more that I look at it the more I like it.... Elegant and quite discreet... Although I prefer platinum, for this I would either go for the one that you have or, most probably for the J, the yellow gold model.... The bl...

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...
