White dial or blue? If white id keep the white personally. I think the white dial is sexy

I would not.

But I’m biased.

A perpetual for an annual? A proper blue dial for white dial? White goldversus SS?

It depends on what you value. Do you like sporty watches or dress watches? Do you appreciate complications like the perpetual calendar or is an AC "good enough"? Do you like thin or thicker watches? Answers to these 3 questions should help guide your decision.

AFAIK neither the 5726 or the 5140G are available with blue dials, in answering a previous poster's question.

I would - in a New York minute. Dress Pateks are my go-to Pateks — and honestly lately dress watches (in general) have been getting most of my attention.

Yes the 5140P is available in a blue dial and I own the 5140P. OP asked about the 5130G in his original post.

Keep the 5726... until you can get a 5470.

I would not...negligible difference between a PC and an AC except for 1 month a year. The asthetic of the 5740 is different to me but I like a bracelet watch over a dress watch. It’s far more versatile in today’s mores and fashion. I also think from a monetary perspective thevNautikusbwill do better over time.

Well My 5726 is gray dial W black strap. I have found a 5140 G with black strap white dial for about $10000 difference. Both are as new - should I do it ??? Thanks for any ideas.
