First buy for 2010?
Not too long ago I was of the opinion that Nautilus and Aquanaut weren't "real" Pateks. I was bound and determined to find a nice weekend watch without spending Patek prices for it. The more I looked the more flustered I became with nothing really striking my fancy. I can't get excited about the Royal Oak and my contrarian streak keeps me away from Rolex. The Nautilus slowly grew on me and I zeroed in on the 5980 and 5712. the 5712 is so light, thin and comfortable that I finally decided on that (even though I am a chrono lover).
Man, Patek knows how to design a dial!
I'm going to have to slow down on these watches soon, but I have another one or two up my sleeve (or soon to be) for this year.
Best to all of you,
Steve

A watch to be seen in the flesh, indeed.
Once you see it in the flesh, you're definitely done.
The dial is awesome, and what seemed to be weird on pics is naturally very attractive.
Congrats on your great addition
Enjoy,
Best.
