Woo! You're killing it this year!

For this, I'd go with the WT. Also, I'm not a fan of that AC reference.

WT for me it looks gorgeous that one.. With a annual calendar PP I would never be happy as I would always crave a Perpetual calendar Patek.

No it shows the correct time wherever you are but it would not accurately display the time in those cities that use daylight saving

Yes, that is exactly what I tried to mean. When this is the case, I can not convincing myself to hv it. There is something I do not understand perhaps as top brands PP, VC, ALS all have the same at their worldtimers. I believe this is against the idea of such complication.

If you have a 5270 and 5140 already, then skip both these references. I love the 5146 so this is a lot coming from me. If I were in your position, I'd go for an ALS datograph up down. Sorry for this on a PP forum but that's what I would do.

The guy has a 5270 and you suggest a Datograph!! That doesn't make sense! The 5146 doesn't make sense has he has a PC! WT are fun and a complication absent in the collection so it's a slam dunk!

Yeah perhaps. I've never been into WTs really so that might be driving my recommendation.

The datograph is (in my opinion) one of the few watches for which you'd go outside the Patek family. Platinum and dark dial option available :)

That's what I would do if I was already the owner of a 5270!
