I also prefer the Roman numerals on these references, so 5160 or 5159 would definitely be my choice. Price wise, the 5159 is definitely a relative bargain and I hope I’ll be able to see one in person someday, as I think I would like it very much. Your 549
5159G would be my choice to buy, particularly the standard model with Roman numerals. It is a great watch and while quite expensive it is a relative bargain in today’s world of brand new Pateks. That said already owning the 5496 in platinum which I like e
I find the Patek Philippe officer-style, hunter caseback, Retrograde Perpetual Calendars ref. 5160/500 and ref. 5160 quite fascinating . But I sometimes wonder if this hand-engraved madness isn't a bit too much . What do you think ? They all measure 38 x

I like numbers, so your reply made me look up some interesting data in response. First off, we currently have VERY few in-catalog "men's" models (defined for simplicity's sake as 5xxx- or 6xxx-references, though this is not entirely accurate) of size less
And can definitely understand the "nerdiness" point, I'm the same looking for as much as information on my watches as I can, However, these details are typically a work of research and not coming from the back of the mind..... Therefore, as its really wor
Similarly, for consistency, both the case and clasp of the 5088/100P are in Platinum. However, the base of the dial where the engraving is performed is again in G gold (and the black portion is enamel) Hand-engraved P case Hand-engraved P buckle The hand
My favorite buckle is the 5160G buckle. It reminds me of the engravings of a Purdey gun. I'm very much a sweater person. I do like my wool and cashmere sweaters. I'm not big on scarves yet - I find that Europeans really know how to wear scarves and I find
