Patek 5212
It was always a miss for me; nice idea for marketing purposes but I’m not sure it all came together so well visually.
I like the Lange and other Patek; visually very different watches so it’s always nice to have two watches like that.
I guess the Breguet would be my second choice to lose. Easily replaced. But, it does offer something the other three don’t insofar as it’s a much dressier watch if it needs to be and if you need that.
The answer to the question is based on no offsetting new watch incoming.
Brequet or Lange because
yours truly is a moderator for the Patek forum !😇 Which one are you leaning towards selling ?
The Patek Semenier
I've never warmed up to this watch. I think Vacheron made a nicer one. Nicholas posted a picture a while back. In fairness to the piece, I've not actually had one on my wrist. Is this departing to fund another piece?! Beautiful collection you have!
The 5212
Simply because you are so well-served by the other 3. Also, the strap on the 5212 looks the least worn-in, which suggests either you don't wear the 5212 enough, or you don't like the previous strap; but asking the initial question in spite of a strap chan...
For me the choice would be easy…. the time only Breguet. I would keep the weekly calendar, the annual calendar and the perpetual calendar.
Aside from the harmony of those complications, hard to go wrong with Patek and Lange.
2nd from the left - Patek 5212
As it leaves me absolutely cold. If in doubt - sell all of them and buy a couple that you would really like.
It depends on what is incoming....but I would let the Breguet with date go.
Others are good complications to keep.

Thx
May I know the reason? I once thought about it too as it seems serves the same style on outfit although i think the breguet looks cooler and iconic on my wrist. But you know, that’s a patek perpetual and it is so compact, couldn’t find it in the catalogue...
Sure...
I've always wanted a PP pc. The black dial and Clous de Paris (appeals to me more and more these days) are icing on the cake. One thing -- I'd switch out the deployant for a simple pin buckle.
I confused the question, Ch1982.
Apologies. If one had to go, it'd be the Breguet. Don't love the date on that piece. The other three are keepers!
If its me
For me is the PP second from left, keep the breguet as its the simplest and cleanest dial among the four
Too hard
My first thought, though, was, 'You clearly love the calendars, so sell the Breguet.' But it's got that gorgeous direct simplicity none of the other have! My second thought was, 'Don't keep the annual when you've got a perpetual right next to it.' But the...
5212, no question.
The far right Patek is perfect Patek. And as soon as you got rid of the other 2 brands, you'd miss them and regret the decision.
