5167+5960 vs 5146+5960 how would you choose...
If I am lucky enough to own a pair of Pateks, which combo would your consider and care to explain your choice:
5167 + 5960 (IMO: modern and diversified representation of PP, diversified price range, less historical references,
5146 + 5980 (IMO: distinctive function / movement, upgradable to 5140 when funds available)
5726 + 5130, 5146 + 5130, 5167 + 5159...any more combo suggestion is welcome

5960P + 5980
swjoseph, My choice was the 5960P + 5980, but I'm only into 12-hour chronos and these two are the only models Patek has ever made. I couldn't be happier with this pair, which cover all of my needs. I suppose if I had to select a non-chrono from among thos...
5146 plus 5980
annual calender ..most useful function other then QP, plus perfect gentlemens watch chrono - sporty, housed in Nautilus to reflect that
My choice would be........
5960 for the everyday function of an annual calendar & the 12 hour chronograph. And the 5167 for the sport & water resistance. Plus if I my add. Having recently bought one, the fantastic lume of the hands & batons all night, plus for a short time (couple ...
Rather than having two, have you considered gettting just one killer
piece or you could split it up and buy more than two covering the simple, complicated, and maybe a steel Nautilus.
care to explain?
It sounds like some good ideas there...with budget in mind, what ref. do you have in mind?
It seemed with some of your pairings,
that the budget was rather healthy. Looking the pairing of say the 5146 and a 5960 gets you in a position to consider a 5070 (or the new chrono) and a Nautilus of some type, maybe a perpetual and a Nautilus, or still a representation of a simple calatrava...
So many truths in there...
Getting the 3970 was an excellent move and should have cut your route short early. It's so true that there are many other temptations coming every year! You thought at one point this is your grail and you will be happy ever after! A few month later, you m...
hmmmmmm
interesting post. I would probably go for a 5146P (one of my favorite PP) + 5980 (or 5711 or 5712). I have not used or even held a 5980 so I am not sure how well that chronograph will work for me. If it works, great!, then a 5980 and 5146P. But if the 598...
5960P and 5146P
This would be my choice as a combo--5146P--my daily work watch....5960P--my night and weekend watch!!...
5960P
Agree--5960P is an amazing piece. You are getting a chrono--all on one wheel--with a flyback function as well as an annual calendar. It is platinum with the diamond--looks great--feels great. I am happy I went in that direction. On the other hand the 5146...
5960R + 5712 1/A
I was making my own decision a couple of months ago with almost the same budget. Finally, I chose 5960R and 5712 1/A. Functionally, I got annual calendar, chronograph, moon phase, and power-reserve. On the other hand, this combo means TWO complicated Pate...
