I would say complete when you can’t think of a wearing situation that you don’t have covered and you can’t rotate anymore on the wrist (unless it’s purely value speculation) My view is you need a dive/tool beater for everyday use that you won’t lose at gu...

Thanks mate! I thought of that too but Patek does not make a divers watch and i do not wear a watch to swim.
Fabulous collection!

Especially those platinum beauties.

They have been well thought of, and notice all are below 40mm in diameter. Took me years to complete.

Notice all the Pateks in this collection of 4 have been discontinued already!
Welcome to the forum! Definitely a complete collection!

If you do a lot of swimming or diving, you might want to consider adding a waterproof watch (over 100m). Other than that, this is a very complete collection. I would still encourage you to buy more, but maybe branch out to other things. Like art, sculptur...

I will take your advice and move into art! Thanks mate
I would go for this combination:

-Light matte brown alligator on the tank -Flat matte red alligator on the 5170 -Flat matte blue small scale alligator on the 5196 -A suede or calfskin strap on the 5930

Do you have a reco on which watch band company to buy from? Patek leather good enough?
A warm welcome to the Patek forum !

You have a good collection indeed, with many bases covered: worldtime (iconic for Patek), Calatrava (famous line of Patek) and chronograph 👍 Perhaps a sports watch for the next piece ?

I was looking into that, i shy away from hype steel sports for now. Also thought of calendar watches but man they are a pain to set and maintain. Also as i get older, my vision has been fading. Cant see the month and day in those things.
Welcome !

I had to trade up my daytona 116519ln for the 5170p. Surprisingly the Cartier is the special one for me. It is the king of elegance.
Welcome.

Once you get a 5196P you can go naked... ;-)
No collection can ever be complete.

That is the attraction of collecting. It’s a never ending journey and one that IMO you can never complete or finish. With regards to the straps I have the same one watch as you and I put this strap on it which makes it less formal and injects a bit of fun...

It is magnificent, where did you buy it?
By: Mikesr : September 5th, 2022-16:03
