That's a totally reasonable (and thoughtful) approach in my view --- putting off your Patek "full immersion" until you are completely ready, if ever...does make *lots* of sense! :-)

I don't think my own "collecting career" took a very different path, in hindsight...while I bought my first Patek in summer 2008 (hence a few months before turning 30), I kept buying a number of other watches for a few years before it became an (almost) exclusive affair with the Brand. And nicest of all, it all developed in a natural way! I'm not saying the same will necessarily also happen between you and Patek....but by reading your thought process at this stage, I really wouldn't be surprised if it does!
A watch from KV is an entirely different, but also magnificent, choice. We are speaking of an incredibly young brand whose founder is still alive, but on a merely technical level, there's perhaps nobody better than him in the entire world!
And as you also acknowledge, with the current Indies, almost by definition, it's impossible to predict the future --- hence if you want a KV (in the sense of the watch), this is definitely the time to jump in! ;-)
Looking forward to seeing (and reading) more from you! Cheers.
