SHOULD I CULL 1 OF MY PATEKS? Do I have too much double up?

Very serious collection. I have a humble collection inspired by the legendary Nick Faulkes. He said in his article about the 5107 that a perfect collection would be 5107, 5035, 5110 and 5134. I added pieces - replacing the 5107 with a 5127 due to what cam...  

If it were me I would keep the 5110 and combine the others into a serious, complicated piece like a perpetual calendar (3940P?) or desirable chrono

You seem to like calatravas, so maybe keep one of those with the 5110 and get the best complicated piece you can with the proceeds of the other three. For example, a 3940j/r. 5110 and 3940 is a dream combo in my book.

I know you believe the 3940 is too small for you

Let's say what you have is worth 96K USD (5196j, 5127g, 5296g, WT, AC=> $15,$18,$18,$25,$20 So if you're really settled on 3940 being too small - and trying to stick to patek 1. Less coherent but more fun: a. 5205g - (allows you to keep you other watches ... 

Since you asked ...

what your collection really needs is some watches from other brands. I sold my only Patek earlier this year and have never looked back.

hmm..

If I had suggest one to let go, Id set the 5035 free. Patek dress watch + lume is not my taste.

I love your collection

Trust your gut and keep what you like. The fact is that no one really cares what each of us collects -- watch collections are ultimately personal expressions of things we enjoy and appreciate. Like you, I love the 5127 and 5296. Are they redundant? Sure, ... 

Whatever you do...

... keep the 5035. I think it is the most important piece in your current collection, in terms of how relevant it is for the brand history.

Also...

... you seem to like the classical Calatrava design. Did you try some vintage Calatravas? Might add a very special flavor!

Archie, the solution is simple...

Sell 2 of them and buy a 5170... the 5170 is what you really want, so do it!

Agreed. [nt]
