Patek

The AP regulator looks very interesting, but I like the cleaner look of the Patek, which I had the privilege to handle and listen to last summer (thank you Mr Vergotti).
The PP :-)

The raised Breguet numerals and the enamel dial win it for me
Patek 5078

It's a wonderful reference with no extra complications (which can obscure the sound). Simple understated case and white enamel dial that doesn't give a hint of what's underneath. It embodies all that Patek is!
I actually like the Roman Numeral version of the 5078P a little better

It's a true classic. To me Peter Speake-Marin simply copied this classic layout that had been employed long before his wrist watches even existed. The beauty of the 5078P is that it doesn't seem like anything special until you really start to inspect it ....
I don’t know about the sound.

But that PP is my absolute grail. My exit watch. So, no contest for me.
never listened to any of those

So I cannot judge the sound. On the other side the PP is "simply" a beautiful and elegant watch with a great complication. The AP adds some elements to the design and to the movement that make it more peculiar. I would go for the AP.
Both sound so good...

I like the AP movement more. I can't say why, I just do. I like the case of the Patek Philippe more. It's thinner too. And automatic. Both sound great. And nobody cares which one I prefer.
Oh wow! You have got some heavy metal there! 👍🏻👍🏻

I have had the pleasure handling both pieces and listen to them. Sadly a few years apart so I couldn’t say which one sounds best. And however interesting and impressive the AP is, that 5078 made me fall in love after a few minutes on the wrist. And I’m no...
Thanks for comments all...

I personally like the PP better - both for its aesthetics and acoustically. Unfortunately I couldn’t load a video of both watches but on the AP, you can hear the regulator whirling when the repeater is engaged. This bothers me quite a lot and is an issue ...
I canT choose

Both look amazing, but in general I prefer a white metal watch. GEO
PP for me.

No matter how the sound quality would be (I never had the chance to prove it personally) for me this watch is the most beautiful PP ever. Best, Thomas
lllll

I KNOW WHICH ONE WILL GO UP IN VALUE MORE. LOL
Amazing pieces

Honestly, those are two very fine watches, I can’t comment on the sound but well done acquiring them and thanks for sharing.
