I love the 5712. It’s one of my favorites.

5164 would be a great daily or travel watch. Especially this new WG model - I love the dial color. A 3940R would round out this collection nicely (IMHO). I have to show off my 5712 here (sorry).

Overview of Patek ref. 3940 & 5140

Being exhaustive with the 3940, introduced in 1985, is almost impossible because of the 3 different series (1985, 1987, 1995): for a comprehensive approach, check, for example, Collecting the 3940 on Twain Time. The 5140 was introduced in 2006 as a modern

So.......I guess in summary

Majority of the responses show that our forum collectors prefer the annual calendar coupled with some other complication, such as the chronograph function (i.e. ref. 5960) or a regulator (i.e. ref. 5235). There are also quite a few people who have pointed

Hmmm.... I’ve been going through a bit of a Patek phase recently. So the number one watch that gets heaps of wrist time would be the 5960p followed by the 3940r. Apart from those two my De Bethune DB25 in wg/40mm is also back in the rotation (God I miss t

3940P and 3940R - the “understated elegance”

When my late father liked a certain reference, he would buy at least a pair. When I was young, I could not understand why he did so. Many years later, I suspect that his horological passion is so strong that he felt that his Pateks were like his children

Thanks - appreciate the input!

Very beautiful 3940R indeed. Although any perpetual dial needs to be busy, the 3940 is a quiet perpetual that is so classic. I'm also trying to find a classic rose gold (creme/off white/opaline dial) dress-type watch that will survive the fads/swings/pref

"But they're cousins, identical cousins all the way."

"One pair of matching bookends, different as night and day." The old Patty Duke Show comes to mind when I look at my latest watch, pictured with its "cousin." At the outbreak of the pandemic I found myself obsessing about the 3940, and set about looking f

3940 vs. 5146

I have been enjoying the 3940R I purchased two weeks ago, wearing it around the house and on the occasional dog walk. I\'ve rotated it with my other watches, including my 5146G-001. When I made the step up to the 3940 Perpetual Calendar with its elegance
