All three references are great,

but my favorite here is the 5100R. The 5100 is one of PP’s best references imo. Here’s how it wears on my 16cm wrist. The thickness is the only reason why I’ve had a doubt if I would wear it daily. And I finally ended up acquiring the 5098P, which I wear

Thank you for a very nice write up and photos.

5100 is certainly a VERY special watch and there is nothing like it in the PP catalog for a long time (case shape, power reserve, shaped caliber etc). It's a classic. Had a chance to try out the 5100R for the first time while I was in Geneva last week. Ve

it is funny how different watches look good or not so good in different metals. I could consider 3940J but never 5040J. At the same time 5100G is top for me, 5100P quite nice, 5100R okay and again 5100J dull in my eyes. I'm still considering the toppic. T

Thanks Nico, I knew what you would say.

If I decide not to take the 5100R, then we are competing on the same market place for a 5100G. My problem is that even the watch is very nice, I have big difficulties to imagine a relative big piece of red gold on my wrist. We were just last Saturday havi
