Perpetual Legibility

[APAP]

Hi,

I’m finally receiving my 41 perpetual in steel/blue in 2 weeks and have a question for the owners out there.

My concern is reading the date from 3 separate sub dials; is it practical? I love the way PP does window displays for month a day and not sure how (im)practica it is on the AP?

Cheers.

depends, if you have own several PC pieces and still prefer the PP ones. Also the RD2 perpetual calendar RO is coming in Q2 2019, if you can get the RD2 instead wait for it!

If I have been given the chance to grab a RD2 I'd definitely go for the RD2!!! It is so thin and so radical! The dial reads more easily and looks more clearly!! Plus, it has a platinum case!!

The rd2 is way above my budget. I haven’t owned any PC before but Patel’s impeemtwrion is way cleaner imo.

Titanium case w/platinum bezel like the 15202IP.

What is APs obsession with mixing titanium and platinum

Maybe I need to see this in real life but from the get go I thought they were odd bedfellows.

Now that’s interesting. I prefer the cleaner look of the SS. The shiny bezel doesn’t cut it for me.

The other thing I noticed is the lack of day/night indicator on the SS PC. What’s up with that?

Sounds good. How long have you had it for? I tend to get bored relatively fast and it’s been the case for all watches I’ve had over the years, including the 15407. This will be my first really complicated watch.

hmmm that is interesting. If that is the case I assume the price will be more or less around 100k GBP? not as much I thought it would be.
but again, a hard piece to get for sure.

I think if you prefer the cleaner look and clearer reading go for the patek. Also if you have already own several AP RO/ROO , a classic leather strap gold patek PC will be a great piece to your collection.

The day/night is indeed not available on the 26574, but it is on the RD2 lol.

I'd say wait till you see it in person. The ultra thin perpetual calendar ref# 26586IP has a blue "satin-finished" dial, which looks really good with the shinny platinum bezel

almost a year now , not a single moment i dont admire this beauty . i cant get enough of it. dare i say more than the 15407 , the level of details are amazing.

I’ve heard that the Perpetual wears smaller than the 15400 even though they are both 41mm. Can anyone confirm this who has tried them both? I thought the case was the same for both of them?

although both are 41 , i can confirm that the Perpetual calendar is smaller due to the different lugs and thinner case , wears like a 40 mm

Could you elaborate on the difference in the lugs, please?

Slightly curved , slimmer . Minor differences but makes a huge difference when you wear it compared to a 15400 41 mm . My wrist size is 6.75 inch , the 15400 is big and bulky on my wrist while the pc is perfect the way it sits, well balanced and perfect on my wrist size .

Very interesting, thanks! I had almost written off the PC due to the 41mm size but this info helps put it into perspective!
