For me
clearly Laurent Ferrier. Don’t want to be negatieve about this PP, so I shan’t say anything more.

LF every day and twice on Sunday.
I feel this particular PP Calatrava is an uninspired dial with some Aquanaut numerals applied. PP can do better.
Definitely the LF.
I actually like the new movement - it is the tourbillion one without the tourbillion ... Obviously less lavishly finished but still up there. My big concern with the LF automatics has always been the fancy escapement and the ability to service it in the long term.
There are very few modern PP watches that I like. Let's just say that this is not one of them ...

LF should have made it look the same as the annual calendar movement
Keep the backside power reserve, geneva stripes, and perlage.
I feel more confident with this new movement. I quite like it, too. [nt]

LF without a doubt. That PP design is not refined enough, and that writing on the caseback, OMG! Maybe compared to a Calatrava, my choice would be different! Best, E. [nt]

If forced to choose...
I would go with the LF. I do like the titanium case. The low WR, manual movement, and style of decoration are not things I care for. I’d much rather have a Galet Square with the micro-rotor movement.
The PP only makes sense to buy and flip. I’d hate to live with it as a keeper. The LF is something I’d enjoy wearing.

I much prefer the micro rotor movement as well. Not available at this price point, unfortunately. [nt]

LF, of course, out of these two
but it has some tough competition in the Principia and perhaps the new Coyons and several others mentioned by other posters.
LF! LF! LF!
Who wants a watch that’s dedicated to a ... BUILDING??!!??!

I am a LF fan, but for his better movement, so this not so sporty dress is quite dull. In this case i favor the Patek, much more sporty, blue, date and a nicer movement to watch ;-) [nt]

We have one vote for the PP!
I agree that the LF micro rotor is much nicer. Hard for me to get excited by the PP movement when it's so obscured by the engraving.
Agree on the ingraving, i would have a go at it with my polishing tool ;-) [nt]
