Hands down..
The 5940G would be a clear choice for me, I mean who doesn't love a perpetual calender 
. I also love the 5940 as it is very similar to the 5020, which I want to add to my collection but it is a little out of my price range at the moment.
Let us know what you choose

5940G or 5235 Comments and Advice requested
I am number one on my AD's list for a 5235 regulator. Latest I have been told is that it should be april of may 2015. Yesterday I saw the "new" 5940G perpetual, and now I am also considering it. Pocket not deep enough to buy both, or I would. Obviously th...
Well,I really like the perp
I find many more elements in the perp vs the regulator. I do really like the regulator dial look, but there is more to the perp from my perspective. The perp has no crushing of numbers, raised numerals, unique case, beautiful movement, and a 3/6/9 balance...

5235!
From collectibility point of view I would take 5235 for sure! This watch is unique in the Patek line and so is the movement. 5940 is beautiful but that same movement has been used for a VERY long time in all of their thin perpetuals starting with 3940 and...
Get the 5235 without a doubt!
I own 5940 and 5235 and would take much more versatile 5235 all day long over the 5940!
It is a matter of personal taste and preferences ...
but to me a regulator from PP is more special than their well-known perpetual calendar´s. Quite a few people don´t even know this very special regulator, but even some people not into watches know the 3940/5940. Good or bad, it´s up to you. A personal col...
Correction and note to me...
Don´t reply to posts when you are still working on something totally different from daily business. I mistook the 5140 for the 5940. Sorry! The 5940 is one of my favorite PC from PP and it looks very nice on my wrist ... but still have a stronger "weaknes...
As much as i love the 5235G
i'd take the 5940G. It has a design, retro art deco that doesn't look like anything else. It has already proved its timeless beauty, and the breguet numerals just make it even nicer. Plus as you've said, a perpetual calendar is just something else, anothe...
Adding one more choice--5159R
Last night at a Patek event I saw the regulator in person for the first time. Much nicer in person than in pictures. The pictures don't do it justice. And it wears great. Definitely a keeper whenever it is I get mine. But a perpetual always on my sights. ...
Made a decison...and it was...
the 5940G. But I will no doubt buy the regulator when my turn comes, I just hope its not for a few months! I always wanted a Patek perpetual but never did for several reasons, chief among them, that I found the round ones to small for my wrist at 37 (I do...
what you like best
is the way to go. As was said, the 5235 is the far better buy from a value retention standpoint over any 240Q movement based watch.
5235....
.....there is nothing in the Patek stable that really looks like the 5235. It is one of the reasons I like it so much. I understand what you are saying about the 5940...... i have a massive penchant for the 3940.....so i do have a similar dilemma....for m...
There is no symmetry in the dial of the 5235G
because the day-aperture on the dial is larger than the month-aperture. Do you see that as a flaw or a deliberate choice? ...
no watch is perfectly symmetrical....
.....some watches gain their beauty through a lack of symmetry.....i don't see why you see a lack of symmetry as a flaw. A watch only has a winding crown on one side....does that make it a flaw?
Ah Yes...crown...good insight. Thanks Joe, woke me up ...
on this stubborn side of my persistence on symmetry. Rgds Raymond
5235 definitely
I would say if I were in your position, the 5235 would be the choice. You have waited a year for the watch, no harm waiting slightly longer. Remember, the longer you wait, the better it is, and the better you will appreciate it. Nobody likes an easy A. Ec...
5235 for sure and logical!

5235
i also agree that the 5235 is the way to go and find your analysis on why totally correct. i have just one comment: IMHO the watch is not really rare. in the last months i have seen it in most ADs around the world and my home AD has one sitting there for ...
