Audemars Piguet

I am trying to keep to a 4 watch collection. ...  

Keep the PF, lose the AP

way too similar the two

Prefer the PF for the date position and less bulky pushers

MTC: Similarities: precious metal, complications, dial collar Dissimilarities: design, recognition, popularity, bracelet/strap I would think there would be room in a collection for both but if you insist on a four watch collection, one may have to go.

Thinking of a ss offshore to replace one ...  

I have an opportunity to trade into another

It’s hard to capture on my phone camera, but so nice to wear ...  

but they are fantastic👌🏽

I like the PF more than the ROC, without question. Now if it were the current 41mm ROC with new movement and proper date location, I would keep the AP.

100%

...not crazy about the pushers on the AP but I prefer the contrasting sub-dials on the AP vs PF. But if you get the ss Off Shore you'll be heavy on AP...arguably not the worst scenario one could find one's self in but still if variety's a consideration...... 

And wondering if i sho uld just stand pat. Ap is thinner. Parm has higher wr ...

Let alone two solid gold, blue faced chronographs. The PF is more low key, and to my eye, slightly prettier. Choice between the two might depend on the other three watches you keep. But you're brave trying to cut down to 4.

You had a couple before and it seems that you returned so that should mean something…

It is my grail. Cant decide on parm

and keep the one that gets the most inquires and sell the other

In the parmigiani. ap is easy to sell. So based on that...

May not be the right aesthetic choice for you, it’s probably the right choice from a collector’s perspective

My mother always said “if you don’t have anything nice to say….” But since you asked….no! Of the above…life is too short to have four watches in precious metals and blue dials. If you said “forty watches”, game on! I’d take a Daytona, Datograph, PP perpet... 

I had the dato perpetual, I had the 5270. Now into sportier watches 41-42mm.

those two may have been attainable. No AP in my collection (yet) but I do have a Parmigiani and a few other respectable pieces. Four is a fantasy but having only those particular two is a nice fantasy too!

If you want to limit the number of watches, I would say that indeed, they are too similar to keep both. Which one to keep? That's the problem, I fully understand you, it's really horrible to make these kind of decisions, because they're different watches ... 

Preferably the newer models with open case back and new movement
