What do you guys think?

Is this a "Patek" Patek? I tried to find info but not much (I looked up the yellow gold version).

I find the "cushion" shape strangely appealing. Any info, experiences, pics are welcomed.

I included two pics from Hodinkee web site (thx guys):

Thx.

I too find it appealing. I love the Art Deco shape, and the Breguet numerals.

el1125 · 29 April 2014, 02:24 AM

i love it. Prefer it much more than the previous J version.

subtona · 29 April 2014, 02:41 AM

love it!!!

fyi Wempe had one in the window when i visited yesterday.

but, would prefer a manual movement over a 240 or 324 movement at that price point.

The 5940 wears small on my 6 3/4" wrist. I really like the thin profile and the cushion shape.

AK797 · 29 April 2014, 04:07 AM

I don't usually like this case shape but that is pretty sharp looking.

Bulliondesk · 29 April 2014, 04:16 AM

Fits amazing on a small wrist.

jon_jon · 29 April 2014, 04:20 AM

Patek has made several cushion shaped PCs before, IIRC. It was a bold move by Patek to bring out the 5940 in yellow gold first as it is not a popular metal color. I assume the white gold will sell better.

Gorgeous watch

incontrol · 29 April 2014, 05:27 AM

Yes I like it very much. It is a beautiful design.

Tony64 · 29 April 2014, 09:07 AM

What's not to like? To me it looks terrific and to your question, very much a Patek, Patek!

mdtddd2007 · 29 April 2014, 12:36 PM

Just stunning...

kuota_kalibur · 29 April 2014, 04:34 PM

Yes, I really love it. Ben was right when he said the 5940G will likely be a niche player, selling to those who may already own a round perpetual calendar.

I have the 5140g and I would love to pair this 5940g with my 5140g someday. Love the breguet numerals!

mps354 · 30 April 2014, 03:59 AM

I love it...unfortunately, its way out of my price / comfort range

Hughiee · 30 April 2014, 03:59 PM

Pp 5940j

PatekCollector · 1 May 2014, 06:42 AM

I love it a lot.

conkers · 1 May 2014, 12:02 PM

That is a stunning watch! I also love the J version and it is such a classic design and look! The G is nice but the J is superb in this specific reference!

DECR · 18 June 2014, 02:51 AM

I like it! Had a chance to try the yellow gold version at my AD and it is a supercomfortable watch to wear. It comes with the traditional buckle and this certainly helps.

TimeOnHand · 18 June 2014, 03:06 AM

I think it's a stunning watch... Yellow Gold for me please!

Time Exposure · 18 June 2014, 03:18 AM

Not a big fan of Breguet numbers. For some reason I associate Breguet numbers with the cheapo Timex watches from when I was a kid in the 70's (they were black numbers on a white dial). So if you say it's just in my head, you're right!

HL65 · 19 June 2014, 04:08 AM

Oh how I love this one...More to come but I LOVE Breguet numbers! Sorry Bryan no thoughts of Timex here.
