5204P is an obvious candidate.... a piece I truly admire...
it is far less formal in spirit than one initially thinks for being a grand complication. With those two you got all complications and occassions covered.... and the 5980 can jump in when nobody is looking (it is my "go to" watch as well.... ). Now you go...
true...
but since the exercise involves 2 watches from Patek... my thinking start to go around what other watches I would have in the collection if only 2 would be PP.... but the 5650G would be one of the two from PP in any case...
5170p, just one watch. The rest would go into an MR fund.
To buy a minute repeater. Although, if the amount to play with is .5-1M, then there are several in reach already as a simple MR appeals.
Easy for me. Patek don’t do sports watches they do Complications.
So I can swim in the first one and keep the second for best. I would call it a day with these 2. Thanks Joe gets you thinking again. M. ...
Yep that would be me done.
I would have what I believe to be the best Watches made by Patek in the semi affordable range. M.
And suppose these two Patek would be the only two watches in the collection?
What if the exercise was to curate your two watch collection in which both had to be made by Patek.... so no other timepieces allowed (no rolex, tudors, omegas etc).... still same two PP?
Could easily be one of my two
Especially if limit was lower on the duo. Then 5980/1A and another regular production non-grand complication would be perfectly acceptable ...
I hardly ever post in the PP forum..
But do lurk. And here I come out from hiding as I cannot resist such a challenge Easy enough to max out Baron's suggested shopping money but I am unable to stray from my working class sensibilities. I'm not sure when a Patek will ever grace my wrist but t...
Echi.... I am happy to have lured you
And I very much understand your choices. Practical yet covering so many bases. The 5164 is a very versatile watch. Fun even. The 5196 is a beautiful formal watch but actually totally usable in a casual environment too. Best Joe
What if the requirement was two modern PP....?
Modern meaning from 90s I suppose.... what would be there instead of the 3448?
I have to say......
....the alternative would be 5970P because of its level of complication and ease of wear. But 5370P would be hard to ignore
Indeed.... a strong contender and tough competitor to the 5370
I like the more sporty strong character of the 5970P but the clean elegant enamel rattrapante is pure class. Perhaps a better contrast and complement to the 5650....
one could also go a different direction.....
....5131P and 5370P..... that would work too but it has a different feel to it as a pair...more formal
Indeed two ultra heavyweights....
That is a cool duo with strong contrast and both exemplifying strong PP dna in different ways... in my modest collection however I think I could do with just keeping my 5650 and 5131J.... if the exercise was a 2 watch collection from current holdings that...
5065J and either 5026G or 3796G
Perhaps not popular, but my ideal two-Patek collection.
for me...
it must be the 5711/1P (not the anniversary one, the original one) and 5074P black dial.
