5160g or 5102pr
i know there is quite a price difference, but currently i have a choice between those two. Which one would YOU choose?...
Celestial
is the way to go here if price difference no criteria. What an incredible watch. The 5160 certainly looks striking, but at first glance the engraved case seems a bit out of place, maybe overdone. On the other hand the engraved side band-only on 5102 is su...
re: go with the 5160
I think this watch is more rare...if that is what you are looking for. But you have to appreciate the engraving, it takes an incredible amount of effort to produce that watch.

Agree
I agree with you, both are stunning watches. I will probably get the 5102pr first, and than try to purchase the 5160g aswell. The thing with Patek is that availability becomes difficult with time passing by, so this should be considered aswell. Regards, B...
Personally, I would pass on both.
I'm sure they are stunning pieces, but not for me. I would admire them in the case but can't imagine feeling comfortable wearing either. Everyone has a different view regarding watches, my view is cut from a more conservative mold so I am inclined in a di...
