I'm not looking for the most expensive, most rare, most sought after, ... Just which of these 2 has the most Patek DNA for you ? We can"t deny the 5711 became an icon and the Genta design is top notch, on the other hand a WT is something Patek does excellent and the enamel cloisonné is an art patek

For me, the world time is THE Patek. Since Cottier. And the most charming, too. Superb photo, Bruno, by the way. [nt]

Neither

It would be the Calatrava. If you forced me to choose then I would pick the WT. Patek should be known for making dress watches first and foremost, not sports watches first

Well there’s a lot to choose from

But given that the context here is on modern patek... my preference would be for the 5296 ref, or 6000 ref.

OR. Grand complications if you take a historic perspective
