5396 all the way all the day

5146G,cream dial no doubt. Simply has more going on. Patek DNA.

Both are great pieces, but the 5146 just draws me in. It's a beautiful piece.

5146 gets my vote....the more classic looking Patek watch...plus you get the power reserve.
The 5396 has a more modern feel to it, and I would rather have that look with the 5726 version.

Another vote for the 5146.

I'm facing this very decision, and don't know what to do.

Love the layout of the 5396 and everything else of the 5146.

My concern is 5146 legibility on the cream dial, how is it?

I have a big issue reading the time on my Lange 1 "Darth" on artificial light, the hands disappear on the dial, no AD coating does not help.

Do any of these watches have AR coating? Would have to have another unreadable watch.

Funny almost 6 years after the original post on this thread, I faced the same dilemma and voted for a 5136g with a cream dial as my 1st PP. :-)

Is 5146g for me as well. Is a quintessential Patek reference as far as I am concerned.

5396, all day, 5146 reminds me of 80s-90s

Had a chance to pic up the 5396 but ultimately went with the 5146 love the dial such a classic timepiece.
