Thanks in advance for your comments!
Between the two choices, white for me for better legibility and a more cassic look.

If its AC that you are looking for, take a look also at the 5205s if you haven't done so.

Its funny you should say that. I was getting ready to purchase the 5146g with the Slate Gray face when my local AD called me today and got the 5205 in Black/Gray Combo in. Now I want that watch. I really like the skeleton case on it. Because I'm 40, I think it looks a little more modern while still exuding that Patek Charm.

Thanks bro , I think I appreciate the reference more because I had own before the white gold versions. And that experience made the decision of getting the platinum very easy , without that I don't think I would of be able to justify the higher premium.
But we learn
Cheers

If you are gonna get the 5205 , get the R black dial ...I loved that watch while i had it ....it just didn't match my lifestyle or tell ben to enable you with his cream dial version

Here is the black one that I had

Did somebody say SALMON?

Great pic Jorge. Happy to join the enabling. OP, this is the white dial version. Check it out at the AD as well and then decide which sings best to you.

Very nice indeed. My pipe dream remains the 5450, it's so good-looking.

The caliber number on my 5146G-010 indicates 324. It doesn't indicate 324/399. Does that say anything about the age of my watch?

I seriously looked at both but in the end Wen with the cream dial due to legibility. Both look fantastic though.

Was set on gray until I saw the cream...

A bit hard to read sometimes as well, but mostly all right.



Either one is great, I really enjoy wearing mine.
