To me the combo of the enamel dial (I prefer the white face, but wouldn't turn down the other), minute repeater, and the 38mm case is perfection. My personal grail watch.
And what about it do you find so appealing? By “regular production” watches I refer to watches that are not limited editions, one offs or application pieces. Ie, watches that at least theoretically one could/can buy if one had/has the desire, financial me...
to try to make that happen, but in the end I realized that I have a much stronger personal preference for 5970. So much so that I prefer a pair of 5970s, even though perhaps that might seem shortsighted.

When I formulated the question I purposely did not say “which watch do you think is the best”. After all what does the “best” even mean? By saying “favorite” I made it very personal. A choice that no one could possibly disagree with. It is nothing more th...
Dress it up, dress it down. Blue, silver, green, black, brown ... anything goes. With the P, for me, the options are pretty limited. So I am a huge fan of the G.
I’d probably choose a 3940p or j and a 5070p or g if I could have two. I think the proportions of the 3940 were perfect and for the 5070, prefer a manual chrono to perpetual calendar chrono combo. The 5070 is an exceptional chrono and prefer the clean dia...
quartz watches Philippe Stern stood firm on mechanical watches, doubling down with the 3940. It becomes his daily wearer. And 5070 ... nothing quite like it before or since. Amazing watch in any metal,
It is for me an almost impossible query… there are so many amazing references that I will try to list in no particular order the modern refs I would consider my favorite and if I had any of them in my collection as h only Patek it would be a tremendous pr...
now I should add that a 5204P black dial or 5204R white dial would make me most happy as well... but for choice would fall behind the references mentioned earlier Your pick I think is a most interesting one and really hope you one day get! Suits you well ...
enamel slave/adduct, I would like to have 5231J and G, R and P ! However, this dream 😴 will not come true 🤪in real life but will happen in my dreams ! 🤣 ...
It’s too bad that all these things can only happen in my dreams. Only in dreams in beautiful dreams” (If you don’t know the song you might want to give it a listen) Best, Patekova
listened to “in dreams” and understood the lyrics although I have never heard the song 🤣 I do however love Roy’s Pretty Woman which to me is Pretty 5231 ! 😂
I had always loved watches but wasn’t really into them much. Several years ago I was actually walking down the street saw this watch in an AD window, I know pretty hard to believe, went wow that is cool walked in put it on and bought it… I never ever thou...
that is an extremely rare (and beautiful) watch. While not so popular when it came out, it is a very, very different story now. Congratulations and many thanks for sharing your story!
