And you?

As much as I like the Explorer, I would favor the one on the left, here. More Tiffany than an Explorer... ;)
I would personally choose 1, 3, 2,
but it's only because dress watches speak to me more.

Interesting that the 2555
has the Tiffany logo on top and the PP one beneath it. I would probably go 425, 2555 and explorer!
According to Christie's,
"The watch was nicknamed ‘Tegolino’ by Italian collectors because its rectangular shape resembled a popular sponge cake known as the Tegolino."

Thank you, Emmanuel. I came to the conclusion after a little sleuthing following my first response. I think it is the perfect moniker!
I always thought tegolino was a "little tile" but what do I know - def ref 425 for me
I think you're right:
the reason why the little cake is called "Tegolino" is that it's reminiscent of a "little tile".
Apparently, "tegola" means "tile".
And Amsterdam Watch Co. makes the link between the tile and the cake: https://awco.nl/shop/icons/rare-finds/patek-philippe-tegolino-ref-425/

Two notable learnings for me…
1. I didn’t know that Tiffany double stamped Rolex pieces too🤔
2. I didn’t think Patek would be okay with their name being listed second on the last watch.
The 425 looks great on that strap
generally do not like steel bezels. For me they detract from the dial and case - the stuffed crust pizza of watchmaking LOL
I don't mind a steel bezel,
but I like the 425 or the 2555 so much more!

2555 for me
I love the case and dial color. And I love that it is center seconds. I’d actually prefer without Tiffany.
I also find this 2555 very appealing.
And I agree that Tiffany is unnecessary.
But I just like the 425 even more.
