When you are fine with the size,
I would go with the 3940 without a doubt. Size is the critical point here. When you are used to bigger watches you might have a problem with the 36mm, which wears even smaller than other 36mm watches. In case not, the 3940 is the original! So beautiful. For me the 3940 was unfortunately too small and I found the perfect fit with the 5940. But here the shape is not to everybody's taste. Try all these references on your wrist and follow your heart 😉
A Short Review of the Patek Philippe 5327G Perpetual Calendar
I feel compelled to write a short review of my recently acquired Patek Philippe 5327G Perpetual Calendar, which has been an absolute joy on the wrist. Launched in 2016, the 5327 replaces the earlier 5140 (launched in 2006), itself the successor of the leg...
Very interesting review. 39 mm big and under 10 mm thick are good dimensions. The Cal 240Q is a great movement, and the dial is charming and class. It only misses a platinum version, in my opinion.
Just to give us the choice in white metals. Thanks for this great review! Best, Nicolas
You got me there my friend....
.... If I have a choice, the use of platinum would make this iteration perfect. I wouldn't be surprised if this happens in the future.
Absolutely superb review, as this wonderful pc deserves 👍👏👏
Big congrats to you, enjoy it and wear it in the best of health ! Thanks for sharing such a well written review 👌👌
Thank you for your kind words Mike!
To be able to wear this in good health would be a wonderful blessing indeed!
Very good review
…and beautiful photos capturing this gorgeous royal blue! I fully agree with you, the applied Breguet numbers add to the charm of this reference. Congratulations to this masterpiece and the other watch is impressive as well
Thank you for your kind words!
The Breguet numerals did the trick for me. Was previously considering the 5140P, but this one won my heart.
Great review and photographic essay on an exceptionally beautiful watch! For me the blue Breguet dial and scalloped 39mm case make
your watch the most appealing version of all the 3940, 5140 and 5327 (and 5040 and 5940) iterations. Congratulations on acquiring this wonderful watch! Best, Patekova
Thank you for your kind words Patekova!
The varied elements of the watch, already attractive enough on their own, are pleasantly synergistic in this combination.
Congratulations 🍾
A PC and a PCC are both my dream, end game collection pieces to top of my collection journey. You have both and I envy you. I wish I can get both such complications someday. Enjoy them in the best of health 👍🏻
You are too kind my friend!
Your incredible collection shows that you are anything but clueless. My suspicion is that you are deliberately holding off "end game" pieces, precisely because you do not want the game to end. I really do look forward to the super complications you will u...
Biggest congrats to the new watch and thanks a lot for the great review, Rhyzen 🙏
I can well understand your excitement about the 5327G. The colour of the dial in conjunction with the Breguet numerals also appeals to me a lot. But I also like the contrast between the blue dial and the white printing very much. White gold and white prin...
Thank you for your kind words Cayenne!
I absolutely agree that the white printing goes incredibly well with the royal blue dial, as most superbly demonstrated by your wristshot!
A very fine, emotional review full of passion, Rhyzen!
Thank you. I have to say, that this is my favorite non-chrono-PC of Patek. This blue dial… And you are right, these Breguet numbers are a fantastic solution for the larger dial space. Best Thomas
Thank you for your kind words Thomas!
I dare say that the Breguet numerals are both a good solution and a lovely aesthetic addition to the line!
I wanted to like this…
…but the proportions don’t work for me. As much as I love the numerals, they were out there to hide (the admittedly great) small movement. Close, but the 3940 is still the king…
Indeed,the proportions would not appeal to everyone.
And I have to agree that the 3940 is the grand patriarch of the family.
Excellent review
I am lucky enough to own this watch as well and agree with your excellent review. It’s a simply beautiful watch with an incredible movement that looks somehow both classic and contemporary. I love everything about the watch with the exception of how diffi...
I wholeheartedly agree with you JBen!
Mine is perpetually wound, and I am lucky enough not to have to set it again since acquisition. In terms of ease of setting, there are definitely other perpetual calendars in the market that are easier to set.
I love this reference
And the 5327r has been on my radar for a while. Love it’s proportions and case with the scalloped out lugs. For me the ivory dial and Breguet numerals just finish it off. A great continuation of the perpetual Calendar line. A seriously nice watch in my mi...
Do it Mike!
The ivory dial of the 5327R is beautiful rendered, and I look forward to many of your wristshots when it arrives!
Outstanding review that sets a high benchmark for similar endeavors
I wanted to write a review in the style of "one year on the wrist" for this similar but slightly larger masterpiece. Your review sets up a high benchmark and is fun to read. However, I will try to finish my piece soon and post it, though I don't have a ca...
Thank you for your kind words Schmidt!
I very much look forward to your review for a different perspective! To be honest, the pictures in my review were taken with my phone camera, with the help of a clip-on macro lens for the close-up shots.
Thank you for that lovely short review!
I really like the 5140 and I sometimes want to own one. Although admittedly, I'd probably never have it set up correctly.
Thank you for reading Patrick!
I was seriously considering the 5140P-001 as well, given the same colour scheme and the lovely platinum.
Exquisite
I have the other two references in this family, 5227 and 5205, with similar curvaceous cases and scalloped lugs as the 5327. But this one, with that amazing blue dial, is unquestionably the ultimate version of the 3 siblings. Great pics and great watch!
Thank you MadSpaniard!
I would love to have the 5227 and the 5205, in particular the 5205G-013 with that spectacular dial.... I guess it's quite obvious that I'm partial to this colour combination.

I would go with the 3940 without a doubt. Size is the critical point here. When you are used to bigger watches you might have a problem with the 36mm, which wears even smaller than other 36mm watches. In case not, the 3940 is the original! So beautiful. F...
Thank you for the great review 🙏🏻
The 5327 is a wonderful watch. I'm a fan of the classic PCs from PP. But imho this modern Interpretation is a bit oversized. I write this by being aware that also size is a matter of taste. As the 3940 was always a bit too small for my wrist I found my so...
Very good review which I
missed previously ! The applied Brequet numerals are lovely and the dial is well balanced ! Are 27, 29 and 31 slightly smaller than the rest of the dates ?
Thank you for yout kind words, Gordon!
I lack the tools to verify, but the "27, 29 and 31" definitely appears smaller in view of the tighter spacing in the month display. Here's a more recent shot: ...
