Apples and apples
You are picking between two apples. It is simply a question of which one you like. If you are investing for the future you are in the wrong segment.
This is an emotional statement that s discreet between you and your future.
If you want a more overt statement a Chanel bag and a gold Rolex Daytona will convey a louder message. I like both Rolex and Chanel so it is not a put down just a way to help focus your message.
A young couple may want to communicate two different messages one more conservative and one more opulent. In a lifetime we have many chances to communicate both.
Just choose the message of the day and the message that communicate what you feel today. If finally it is an investment look elsewhere.
Kind regards

Need help choosing a watch!
Hi everyone. My fiance wants to buy me a watch and I'm having the hardest time deciding which one!! It's a huge battle between Breguet's Reine de Naples and Patek's Calatrava (with diamonds in rose gold). I know that for the brand value, Patek definitely ...
I will go with breguet
I this case the breguet piece is more original, and from the diamond point of view, both are equivalent in quality. Maybe PP has a tendency to preserve more value. both watches do not have any type of complication, so I Believe in time both will loose val...
First of all, welcome here!
Thanks for joining our dialogue here! And best wishes on your upcoming wedding! You and your fiance are considering two very lovely pieces. What most folks here will tell you is to go with the one that speaks most to your heart! The Patek is clearly very ...
If you are buying both brand new....you will lose money, esp when it is ladies watch
So don't even think of it as an investment. Ladies watches with diamonds easily loses 50% off their list price, if not more, once it's out of the retail store. Gone are the days of rapid price appreciation, these days, it's about lost minimization excerci...
My wife owns both
A WG Breguet Reine de Naples with moon phase and Patek Calatrava 5897G. In fact my wife Darja should comment this but she is sleeping late like always so I'm trying to help: - Breguet is automatic while Patek is a manual winding watch. The result is that ...

The Breguet is a much more attractive watch
in my opinion, and as said before do not look at this as an investmnt. Make the choice based on what you are going to enjoy for years to come. They are are both prestigious brands, but the Breguet is much more interesting in shape and design and I would t...
Everyone has said most of my thoughts for Breguet except one
, Congratulations whichever way you decide. The most important criterium is that this is a 'memories watch'. The current Mrs MTF has a 'memories box' that she keeps....well.....our memories inside. It could be a old cinema ticket of our first movie togeth...
Realist
For all of us, it is only by the Grace of God that we survive..... Even 2nd degree murderers get off for less than that time in jail! :-) On the other hand, I have had the same "current Mrs MTF" for nearly quarter of a century (boy, it sounds long when sa...
Breguet for me.
Love the way it looks. I find that Patek a bit boring. The Breguet looks much more femenine and elegant, to me. Let us know which one you choose. cheers Vte :)
The Breguet is a far more attractive timepiece IMO.
It is more unique, yet not so outlandish as to not age well. Mechanically, it is very cool with its use of a silicon balance spring and escapement. Also, the oval case is more feminine and lends itself well to more formal dress engagements, because of the...
Take the name off the dial ...
... strap them both on your wrist and decide which one looks better, suits your lifestyle, fits most comfortably on your wrist and makes you smile. The Breguet looks far better and more unique to me. And I like the history associated with the Reine de Nap...
As another friend stated...
i think ladies watches won't go upper the price they have,and i would choose Breguet also for the fantastic case and the look.i hope she will be happy with your choice. regards..
Congratulation on your up coming wedding.
Among the two i would choose the Reine de naples. Love the design. Me and my wife bought ourselfs a pair of his/hers Patek aquanaute for our wedding . It was our first experience with Patek and we enjoy wearing it. Its a sign of togetherness for us. Maybe...
Thank you for your suggestions
Thank you for all your suggestions! It's helped me a lot in deciding which watch to buy. I have finally decided to get the Breguet Reine de Naples.. but in the smaller design with the roman numerals. Maybe in the future I can afford to buy a Patek ladies ...
Well chosen!
The smaller RdN with Romans is a watch that my wife admires quite a bit -- you will be very fortunate to own it. I wish you all the best and hope that this watch is always, for you, a reminder of your and your husband's growing love! All the best, Gary
breguet
definitely the breguet, its so much more unique and just seems more special, the patek is just a watch with diamonds on it
