Fully agree -- go with the one that puts a smile on your face.

I picked a marvelous first Patek for myself ... but it didn't stir enough passion ... so it's gone.
Don't do what I did.
Kind regards,

By: rtgc67 : October 28th, 2019-08:10
Hi, Need advise on getting my first Partek. As I am new, thus have look to this forum due to many Patek owner here for some clue. Would love the Aquanaut and Nautilus series but I know it’s impossible to purchase new and way above retail. Looking at the f...

Welcome to this forum, Not sure i can comment a lot, but the pilot watch is pretty new to Patek (or at least they have not done it since quite a long time), so you can hardly say that this is the brand DNA even though it is a nice watch. The 5xxx series a...

Yes agreed on the pilot , was offered this piece from 2 AD here ,was wondering about it’s popularity。

Saw it 5905 at the AD today, was gorgeous too but not sure about jumping into the deep end so early.

The last one on your list which one is that?
6006G
By: rtgc67 : October 28th, 2019-09:20
Sorry it’s 6006G Calatrava ...
Welcome to the forum! not sure with this reference.
By: Reuven Malter : October 28th, 2019-09:58
+ it has in my opinion the best movement from a visual and design perspective + It is very under the radar and less formal but - it does not feel as expensive on the wrist as other Pateks in that segment. I think when i pay that much money, i want all the...
They are all great watches
By: sham1 : October 28th, 2019-09:38
so the important exercise is to try them all to see which fits your wrist best and which suits your lifestyle. I would be partial to the 5524R but you must try them on as beauty is in the eyes of the beholder! Welcome here by the way and to the beginning ...
Thanks

....giving us a bit more info on your tastes and requrements. What other types of pieces you have ? There is a big spread in price there. Maybe start with a pre-owned full set 6006G or earlier 6000G - it looks complicated whilst being quite 'simple' and i...
Among those personally I would go 5905R...

However if you are looking for an R on strap and do not have to buy from current collection the possibilities are many... 5960R for example is a stunning piece in any dial configuration... also think 6000R or 5140R are superb... well the list can be quite...

Great post from Patrick. Why should you be a follower, if you can lead? Pateks are great watches, but despite of being the best watches of the world, there is many more to discover. If Patek made a watch who fits 100% my taste, i wil not hesitate to go fo...
Wow 😋
