PP 5140p-017; Anyone have one?
Does anyone have the grey sunburst dial version of the 5140p? From all these images and pictures and ads on the internet, I can't determine if the hands and hour markers are YELLOW gold or WHITE gold? The official Patek website simply describes them as "gold", which is no help. Can anyone, who actually HAS one of these or has seen one in a store, chime in, please? And if you HAVE one, do you have any regrets or issues with it? So far, this is at the top of my list for my first Patek. Thanks, as always.

IMO its too small of a case for the dial. Maybe it looks better in real life but to my eyes the subdials at 3 and 9 are encroaching too much on the subdial at 6. A mm or two larger and that wouldn't be an issue.
The 5327 at 39mm does not have that issue |

Maybe changing the font size accounts for the difference, plus there's the effect of those breguet numerals that occupy more space at the periphery than do the simple stick markers. |

Not sure, but the 5140 looks strange with the subdials almost co-mingling. reminds me of a zenith, although there isnt that much overlap. |
