I did this comparo last year and ended up the 6119R. 😀 not the question you asked. But figured it was similar enough…….

270th Anniversary edition of the Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle rose gold vs Patek 5212a
Have recently been given the opportunity to purchase the Vacheron Constantin traditionelle in rose gold. Was not expecting it, but tried it on and was amazed by the dial. Originally I intended to purchase the Patek 5212a, and now I am stuck in a bit of a ...
Neither for me
That VC dial is not for me and the PP dial is entirely too busy for me. I’d consider a Lange 1815 38.5 mm instead. But you should get the one that evokes the most emotion in you . Good luck!
Neither appeals to me...
...but I would definitely consider the VC in a different configuration. Like this Japan-only version with a guilloche dial... ...
I'd probably just go for the regular VC Traditionelle...
The 5212 never appealed to me and I'm not a fan of over-use of a brand's insignia/motiff (similar to the excessive use of the Maltese Cross in the Overseas line). The VC dial motiff will not age well, IMO
Very tough choice, as, for me, each watch has its strengths and weaknesses.
Patek Philippe 5212A-001 : very nice original dial with handwritten-style numerals and letters and nice weekly calendar complication. But , for me, unappealing automatic movement (26-330 S C J SE). As for the 40 x 10.79 case, I like the design but I am no...
I think so too: both are really appealing.
And, if you buy from of an official boutique, I think that getting an allocation for the Patek wouldn’t be easy.
At least, with a purchase history
you would certainly get it, even if you have to wait a couple months.
To me …
If you’re torn between two, you probably don’t love either. And when you’re spending this kind of money, you should indisputably love the one you select.
I'm talking about building history...
...I understand it, but it's sad. I have a friend who had at least 5 complicated Langes, and every time he asked about another limited piece it was always, "Well, if you were to get this one first..." It put him off the brand and I think he sold all of th...
Same here (though personally I would probably chose another dial, but that is a matter of personal preference)
I really love the Traditionelle case and movement.
Both are great. A lot more feedback on the 5212 for you to review.
here is a general link. www.watchprosite.com The 5212 is quite playful can be dressed up or down. Interesting complication. And a little VC link Vacheron constantin: I Really Like This Dial On The 270th Anniversary Edition Of The Vacheron Constantin Tradi...
