My first Pateks. Needless to say that I'm over the moon!

Nov 18, 2017,10:53 AM
 

Some years ago I believed that Patek is a conservative brand, not for me.

Lately I decided to consolidate my collection, in order to keep a small number of watches, which have a certain appeal to me.

That time I realised the importance of Patek and I decided to purchase the sporty Aquanaut 5164A and the dressier World Time 5230R.

Now I have a first world problem : Which one I'll wear first, while the other will wait to the safe for its turn?

Enjoy the first photos in their homeland. I'm sure that swiss people can recognise the place.

Aris

PS With the existence of the Lange 1 Timezone in my collection, I think that this complication must be my favourite.

The 5230 is my favourite PP WT among the regular models (5110 and 5130). What’s the model of your Lange TimeZone if I may ask? Regarding your problem, I have a solution. You have two new PP... and you have two wrists too. So no favouritism πŸ˜‰ Enjoy and wea... 

Alkiro thanks for your kind words.

To tell you the truth, your suggestion crossed my mind, but I'm not Hayek you see.πŸ˜ƒ My Timezone is the yellow gold. Aris

No worries about Hayek. We can all have our own style πŸ˜‰

Regarding your Lange, I’m looking for the pink gold / grey dial version. I’m deep in love with it 😍 Best wishes Alkiro ...  

Great JLC duo there.

Indeed, Hayek wore Breguets, not Pateks.πŸ˜ƒ Aris

Really true. So you’ll have a unique style πŸ˜‰

A great problem to have imo The 5164 TT for casual travel days and the WT for dressier evening perhaps? Either way both are winners! Wear them in the best of health.

Thank you very much. [nt]

.....and you defined it yourself. For the everyday, the Aquanaut...for the dressier times, your 5230. Beautiful pair to buy.

Thank you very much.

If I could add the 5711 too, then I would be a very happy man. Aris

Huge congratulations, Aris.

I think the PPro Patek forum has claimed another victim?!!? πŸ˜…

Sure it can. [nt]

For a start, this is a strong one. Congratulations.

I am a bit fan of Patek world time. The 5230 is a very good one ! Best. Nicolas

I know that you love your 5110P.

 
 By: aris d : November 18th, 2017-12:18
WT is quite a trademark for Patek. Thank you. Aris

I can see you are switching camps from Lange to PP?

I always have fond memories of your country.

 
 By: geross : November 18th, 2017-14:56
Its but fitting you have 2 Pateks in your collection. I particularly like your world time in cloissone dial. I feel you really made a good buy in this model. But the Aquanaut is definitely good too. Best wishes. Wonderful pictures of a wonderful country. ... 

Actually I'm not from Switzerland.

I've been there for taking delivery of the watches. Aris

Huge congrats!

Congratulations on your great pair

 
 By: emcquillan : November 18th, 2017-18:10
Damn, the 5230 is growing on me. I appreciate all the modern Patek WT, but I think the 5230 gives the 5110 good competition for tops. No offence to the 5130 as it's stunning too.

I agree. [nt]

 
 By: aris d : November 18th, 2017-23:15

Great pair!

Big congrats on the entry into the Patek world, especially with two great pieces !

 
 By: GLau : November 19th, 2017-00:33
Other than wearing one on each wrist, you now need a coin toss to decide ! Let us know who is the lucky one. Enjoy them often ! Cheers, Gordon

Thank you Gordon.

To tell you the truth, before I had decided to start with the Aquanaut . Now I'm a bit torn. Aris

Excellent duo!
