PATEK 5120G

The Patek 5120G is probably the simplist, most formal, modern sized, elegant watch in the patek automatic line.  And, pardon my noting it; but in percentage terms, it has been and shall continue to have the most amazing price appreciation.  Consider it!

Thoughts on a "simple" dress watch?

 
 By: respo : March 17th, 2008-07:03
I am asking for some thoughts and opinions to help me select a "simple" dress watch. I am looking for a watch that, at most, displays the date, in white metal, with a display caseback, that is relatively dressy/formal, and preferably in the 37mm-40mm rang...

I can't speak to JLC, but I have "simple" watches from both Lange and Patek, and although I slightly prefer the Patek (a 5107) to the Lange (an 1815 manual), the movement finishing on the Lange does seem to compare favorably to that of the Patek: But they...

thanks -- any good reviews on this site of the 315? [nt]
