5056P had a very limited production I believe
Mar 24, 2011,12:34 PM
5056P is a very nice watch which I am very fond of. Mine is currently at the home base in Geneva for a service. I very much look forward to get it back ship shape. The size is relatively small by todays standards. I find it however very nice on the wrist and it seldom attracts attention except mine - the dial is beautiful. A perfect watch for formal occations or in the office. I have not tried the 5146 but it looks much the same except for its larger case and the lack of roman numerals. I like the roman numerals a lot!
I think 5056P was a limited edition. As Patek almost never informs on the numers produced we can not know the production. The following is a quote from Christies: Reference 5056 was in production between 1998 to 2006. According to research no more than 300 examples were made.
in total.
Good luck

5056P & 5146
By: fuigo : March 24th, 2011-11:30
Dear all, I'm not usually a reader of the PP forum; however, recently, I've been trying to learn more about it to figure out what all the fuss is about. One of the complicate functions by PP that I personally am hugely fond of is the Annual Calendar. It i...

A lady AD gave me her, honest, opinion about large watches: " Vulgar" she said ... This might not apply to all big watches but still it is a different "need" that is served by them ... Back to your inquiry: 5056 is not limited, was the first release of an...

I just got a 5146P so I'm a little biased. I looked at both models but liked the dial better on the 5146. I got a 2007 model that had the 315 movement if you want a slower beat. I don't think the 5146 is that much bigger in my eyes at least. Either way I ...

platinum production
By: coz : March 24th, 2011-13:36
I've read that quote in the past from Christies. I've also heard too that 5146P production is probably around 10% of total 5146's out there so that's a pretty low number too if correct.
(patek) 5056P & 5146
By: relax max! : March 25th, 2011-13:41
The 5056P only came in Platinum, the dial was the first time around they used that slated gray similarly used in the 5146 but slightly different tone. I think the 5056P is one of the best PP ever, perfect size too. Expectation is around 1000 pieces done 5...
for me, always the 5056P
By: Hororgasm : March 25th, 2011-14:43
the slate grey of the 5056 has been THE standard for me to measure all ther slate grey from every other brands since. also first to feature the 6 oclock diamond on case to denote Platinum model. best, Horo

Nice choice!

I went through the same process of deciding between the 5056p and the 5146. Eventually I chose the 5056p. Wear it in good health. Cheers! WS

5056P
By: JamesWirral : March 26th, 2011-20:52
Best Annual Calender from Patek, ............ innovative design, inexpensive, subtle but elegance, easy to use & the Roman characters are just so classical! Estimated about 200 pieces were produced each years. Down point is the over reflectile glass! Wris...
I see you have already chosen
By: tourbillon001 : March 29th, 2011-18:09
and chosen wisely although there was no wrong answer here. The 5056P was my first love from Patek and it still grabs my heart every time I see it. Enjoy it in good health
Congrats!

A nice choice indeed.
I am the owner of a 5056p too ...
By: wso : July 18th, 2011-22:46
because I thnk the size is perfect. I think the 5146 is a tad on the big size. Lately I have been thinking of off loading it to free up some cash for another piece. However, having seen all these posts, I am having 2nd thought again. Cheers! WS
