Patek Philippe

I am curious to see what is the most popular and the most favorite Patek, here. When I browse our Patek forum, modern watches are more often discussed than vintage. That's one thing. Now, among the moderns, we can see that the most often posted are the Na...  

Most recognized (and by whom?)? Most posted? Most owned? Most demanded? Most "loved" (good luck with that one!)

Most popular I would imagine is the Nautilus, which ironically is one of my least favourite Patek’s. My favourite is in fact the 5370P 😍

The Patek Philippe 3940! I love that watch. ...  

But I'm a little biased. . (The 5711, 5070 and 5164 are close runners up). Of course, the 5370 and 5970 always make people drool but those are in a whole different league in my book in terms of rarity, complexity and cost. ...  

I LOVE the Patek Philippe 3970 as well! ...

5960 in all it's versions migh be a tie. Most dreamy for me 5370/5078/5102 three way tie.

Softly softly. This is sacred ground for some people.

Expecting to see more and more Aqua Chronos ,those will be popular I m sure if the deliveries hit the ADs.

I m not happy with the pushers ,bringing a 40k watch into the water with a chance of waterdamage in case of an accidental pushing , it is not the risk i m looking for ,for that particular reason i haven t bought the 5164.These are typically summer watches... 

I m too technical but that s one of the reason why i love mechanical devices ,first fully understand their function then study their weaknesses .a dresswatch with 30m WR (even with 10) is fine ,i keep in mind and take it off before i getting close to the ... 

.....would be between the 5711a, 5110, 5960a, 5131(!). Only on this forum could one have a 5131 as the most posted watch! Not sure which has the most posts. Which is most "favourite" ?? Impossible I think. Of those above, I would say my personal favourite... 

Since who else spending their precious time commenting and posting watches on forums that those damned junkies ;-) these kind of ppl do their best to get the most coveted pieces which are out of reach of the general public. We fully agree on the 5131 ,it ... 

The Nautilus may be is the most popular, but I am surprised about the hype the last 15 years. 20 years ago nobody wants a Nautilus. ((The AP RO (classic version !) always was searched )). The Aquas with rubber strap,- for me a PP had no rubber strap. This... 

Without doubt you grow into Patek Philippe watches and in a collection they give great joy at different times in your life. The Nautilus is a fabulous piece of design and in years to come will still be admired. Next up is the 5070p it’s gorgeous and at th...  

I have just updated with photo

That’s cool !

It’s got happy memories attached, that’s the thing about watches.

Particularly the last sentence. My sentiments exactly. 👌

Just interested

I agreed with your sentiment about not leaving watches in packages and enjoying them now because life can take unexpected turns at any moment. I think this is spot on, as I’ve had (probably most of us have had) family/friends taken away unexpectedly and t... 

I agree with you sentiment. I was responding to another post above, about happy memories attached to our watches. Sorry for the confusion.

My parents took me to Disney World as a child. It was a magical experience for me, as I’m sure it is for most children, but it was also special because my parents were still together then, and at the end of the trip they bought me my very first watch - a ... 

I was looking at the dial glowing in the dark... Like a Xmas tree.

I’ve spent some sleepless nights of my own under similar circumstances 😉

… someone who has never had something will never have the special memory.

I still hope to find it in one of the storage bins from my childhood. No luck so far, but I haven’t gone through everything yet. Cpt is right, though, the memory is the thing that can lives on, regardless.

Thank you for sharing a special moment

I’d love to hear one of yours, if you’re willing. It might be worth having in it’s own thread, actually. I think it would be special to hear many of our member’s special stories.

I guess it is a most usefull complication. Very practical. Cheers! Nico Geross. ...  

most popular ? Worldtime is next perhaps. 5070 definitely deserves a special mentioning !
