Thank you guys!

After I had the black 5204P for the first time on my wrist I couldn't resist... The contrast between the sporty lume hour markers and the black dial is so so appealing to me. I never took into consideration the white dial as I prefer in general dark dials, i.e. black, blue and grey dials.

Having the added bonus of the luminous hands is a win win for me.
Like you said it breaks up the contrast of the dial and hands nicely and you get to read the time in the dark

Thanks Karl I really love this colour.. Takes away the rose gold a little but enhances the enamel dial more..

Here is some rationale:
My 1st AC was the 5146G (grey slate dial), I don't think I appreciated and didn't know shit about watches (but I though I did ..Lol) , I still don't ...anyway my second AC was the 5960P. Then I needed the money and thought well, I can downgrade to a regular AC, but if I am gonna downgrade it will be a hot AC...and that's how I bought the 5205R black dial , hot watch ...down sides were : no dress down abilities, legibility, no PR, no lumen. Any how then after awhile I thought well the reasons I got rid off the 5960P were financial so let's get it back ....so I trade in the 5205R for the 5960P again (2nd 5960P) ...
All that shanigans just to come back to my original 5146g , why? .., I think is the best choice for this reasons: 1) Subdials on Patek is one of the strongest things on Patek DNA (is so Patek) and my previous rationale was : I like the Windows is more modern and easier to read , I can tell you that statement is half wrong : cuz yes is more modern but I can assure you that I can tell the day, date and month from a farther distance with my 5146g cream dial than my previous Windows versions and even my old no window version (5960p, 5205g,5146g grey dial ) 2) Monphase and power reserve complications combo in the same watch , I never used the chrono on the 5960P (lil hard to read) and hated the fact that didn't have a second hand for the time !! ( that bothers me but not a lot of people so that's more personal than a real reason ) 3) ability to dress down (therefore I use it way more) 4) Price: best bang for you buck on AC Patek (u get so much) : you feel like you got a deal ! 5) Lumen , night time I always can tell the time no matter the lighting conditions. 6) I felt that the 5960P is an expensive watch but it's not aging well in the sense of value retention so I thought if I am gonna have a watch that cost that much , I would rather have a Patek Chrono (the 5070, is the watch in my head now : currently struggling with that idea)
7) love the calatrava buckle that the 5146g comes with, true I could of buy it for my previous 5205R but I usually don't mess with changing the original idea of Patek design (Patek didn't went with the calatrava buckle on that one because they are giving you a more modern Patek, I think) 8) size I think 39mm is right on with Patek DNA, actually collectors can argue that is too big but f..., 39mm is as small as I am gonna go. And finally 9) cream/white dial is a more classic dial color on Patek than the grey slate dial (although is very nice, I bought once for a reason) of my original 5146g

Hope I didn't bored you

Cheers !
Experinced and agreed with you.

It's Arnaud, it's Patek and it's not a 5712!
Congratulations, it looks great!

Thanks guys, I really love it, probably the perfect RG on rubber watch for me, most definitely a keeper, sure my favorite is still my 5712, but this one is just behind, in the sun it's a killer dial, amazing, even more IMO than the Nautilus blue dial, most certainly the perfect PP sport duo, at least for me, couldn't be happier

Red mullets had been enjoyed by a man who wore the rose in a small fisher village.
