Brutal choice...which one of your kids do you love the most?
...maybe a slight edge to the 3941 as it's a tad more readable, and maybe the classic PC...
Normally, I should choose the 3941 too,
given my conservative tastes. But here, I feel attracted to the AP. I prefer the 4 subdials layout and somehow the “crazy” aesthetic appeals to me.

AP in a heartbeat.
The frontside just has more character in my eyes. I will confess that the uber cool strap probably influences my opinion to a degree.
I also prefer full size rotors to micro rotors.
The PP gets a check mark for superior legibility but it just doesn't excite me like the AP.
Thanks for the post.

Well, I feel like you here, even if I’m generally not into openwork aesthetic.
But never say never: here the AP appeals to me. I prefer the 4 subdials layout and the color scheme and strap are just stunning.
It’s always nice to be reminded that each timepiece and situation is different and can be challenging for one’s tastes.

I am going to have to be boring again and say both! 😆
Masterpieces in their own right!
If forced then the 3941, as I have a soft spot for this iteration, complication, and PP in general. 👍
Tough one, quattro.
Think I'd go for the AP here. Don't always love skeleton pieces, but this one's a sweetheart (despite its readability issues). I'd perhaps find a different strap ;-)
Interesting responses here, quattro.
When it comes to the PP perpetual calendars, my tastes have shifted to the 5040 and the 5940.
Yes, the tonneau-shape case is very appealing, I completely agree.
Have a great weekend.

For whatever reason, the AP appeals to me more here.
Even the movement.
So, openwork can win me over sometimes! ;-)
