Patek Philippe

New Arrival and the first PP in our family. Certainly not the last one.

4936R. Early morning picture -  I didnt have the time for the hands to align in a better angle....

Needless to say, my wife is very happy.

...my daughter. The funds transfer process was clearly less painful with that future in mind.

As you can see, the communcation capaign of PP works out...

Stefan

Nice that PP makes so beautiful timepieces.

After all there is no reason than we can enjoy wearing these beauties and then feel disappointed to see quartz movement watches when looking at the wrist of our wife / daughters.

You made a very good choice, congratulations.

Best,

Mike

This watch makes an excellent timepiece for your wife (lovely MOP dial, bling bling, and useful AC function) and a superb heirloom to your daughter (timeless design + all the good things mentioned).

Have fun repeating the same for you and your son !!

Cheers,

...i am contemplating a AP ROO Dual Time or a Nautilus 5712 in steel.

I think steel is more wearable for a young man than a gold piece

Any advise or views?

... subject to your personal and family preference / requirements

Firstly, since this male watch is "yours" until it becomes an heirloom to your son, you need to love it yourself.  So does the Nautilus or AP ROO sing to your heart ??

Second, when it comes to family heirloom issues, equality, consistency and timelessness IMO matter.  So I would go for a Patek with similar complications or overall monetary value (at this point).

Considering the above, I would suggest an annual calendar, be it a Nautilus or Calatrava one.  An AC would make a nice pair with your wife's when you two venture out together.  Alternatively, a Patek 5130 world time (which is iconic) would also fit the criteria and it can come with a bracelet.

Enjoy your decision process which is the best part of the hunt !!

...the process is extremely enjoyable !!

5712 is a good choice but a different style than your wife's.

For my hunt for an AC, it came down to 5205 and 5396. For me, 5205 is more stylish and more contemporary, whereas 5396 is a classic and has more Patek Calatrava DNA (similar to your wife's).  First, think of what you like and then it comes down to consistency or diversify for heirloom pieces for your children.

My 5396 says hi !!

Good luck hunting,

Gordon 

...it made me going back one year and looking at the photos I posted of my wife's PP. (there is another post with more photos)
