Patek Philippe

A nice choice

 

Hi CL,

I love all the watches in your selection in fact!

Still I may have preferences.

If we could consider it in the selection my favorite would be the 5020. It's  a cushion case (like 5135) so not rectangular, but still a form watch! The 5124 and 5100 are not exactly rectangular either.

So 5020 first! Then the 5105 is a pure dream, but to be honest that's the one I've never seen in the flesh.

5100 in pink gold would come next, followed by the very affordable and really superb 5124.

5101 comes last but mainly because it's so expensive and you could perhaps get all all the others for the value of 5101!  smile

Regarding the calibre in 5124, for it's a form calibre, no matter if it's a 215PS reformed! It's bridge design is really pleasing my eyes and that's what counts! Yes I think it's  a great calibre. The 5124G is IMO the best entry level PP today (close with the grey dial 6000 that I love too).

Cheers

Dje

What are your favourite rectangular modern Pateks?

A few of them were found under my radar. 5101 tourbillion, 5124G, 5100 (10 days) and 5105 (vintage 9-90 movements).... My super love will be 5105 but so difficult to get at a reasonable rate. 5100...I really love the YG version and the RG one. May I ask i... 

5100 for me !

5100 in WG for me...with its stunning blue dial... I hunt it since 7 years, now... As for the movement, it's not the same than the 5101, AFAIK, as the 5101 has, of course , the tourbi, but doesn't have the 10 days power reserve. But it may be the same bas... 

Hi Nicolas...the 5101 torbillion also....

Hi, I just have a second hand Panerai coming in, a very simple thing that can't compare to the beauties of this forum! Not yet my hoped 5124 G, or 6000G, or 5712/1A, or 5396G, or 5139G, or 5100R, or 5105P, or 5070P or R, or 5970R, or 5020R, or 5101P, or 5... 

It's funny you are looking at Panerai....

I'm also looking very closely at them ;-) Never thought I will be interested but it starts to draw me in. Lovesss*CL

They can be quite reasonable

Hi CL, if you look at the entry Panerai models they are quite reasonable, easy watches to do everything with and they have a very nice design and a real history if you're interested in diving! As I can't reach a PP for the time being I'm quite happy to ha...
