When you think annual calenders , what comes to mind first ?
Patek of course ! They made AC popular so its wrong to say 5146 is not an afficianado's watch.

5146 - why is this not an afficianado's watch?
It is often said that the annual calenders are not a true horologist's watch but i can't see what is the difference with say a perpetual calender? in fact, there seems to be a hierarchy even amongst ADs with calatravas & 24s, then 'simple' complications s...
why is a honda accord not as desireable as a mercedes e class?
Honda's are wonderfully well made and the eclass isn't really any better.. There's just a certain subtle something - a lineage and history that gives the benz it's advantage over the highly capable, more moderately priced honda. The 5146 is just too comon...
i see what ur saying..
you pay soooo much more just for that extra day once every 4 years... i feel the 5146 is a great value for what it is..
too many of them ?
5398, 5146, 4937, 5135 and there are a lot of 5146 out there. It is a VERY nice watch but you'll find them at every dealer. The annual Patek is like the Rolex submariner. Very popular but not difficult to get. A friend of mine has one and I love this watc...

AC & PC
I guess everyone seems to say ADs are awashed with Annual Calendars, but i also think it is not that different for Perpetual Calendars. Most ADs have at least have a couple of Perpetual Calendars put in the safe, hoping to move the Annual Calendars first....

I think annual calendars are very typical of PP...
...and they are very useful as well. By nature, afficianados tend to prefer the the most sophisticated level of a certain complication category and I believe PP is very much aware of this fact. I believe afficianados are right to think so since PCs are pr...
Ahmet those photos of your AC's are truely stunning.
With regards to difference of craftmanship/workshop between AC & PC I would think that apart from the additional complication of the PC. That there is no difference on the question of craftmanship etc.
btw, anobody has this one ?
I really LOVE this one, the yellow gold with this dial is stunning...
agreed
bruno, i have seen this in the flesh and the color combination is simply stunning, let alone its value which is priced very realistically for such a watch. Mech.
