Patek 5116g
Hi all,
I have an opportunity to upgrade my 5119r to 5116g calatrava. Iam a big fan of enamel dials, can anyone suggest if iam opting for a rarer and better time piece in terms of long term investment and collectible point of view.

A clear ........ no
Not an investment piece, as not limited, nor too complicated, nor a small production piece ...
But even if all these categories are fulfilled: still it is not a guarantee for making money with a piece.
Investments, watches in particular, are mainly based on something very irrational: luck.
See the 5070: 1000 made in each metal, wich is a lot actually in terms of "small numbers", but still it does the trick.
See how the new chrono does: publicly displayed in a tiny little box on Bond Street, waiting for a buyer.
You see, not all complicated PP are considered as an investment.
If you look at some discontiniued simple Pateks as the Gondolo range, or some Calatravas: they have been made in far smaller numbers than the 5070 and still nobody is "inrerested" in them as an investment.
Keep your stunning 5119 and get yourself the 5516 too, as a start of your Calatrava collection, imho.

Moritz
