Patek Philippe

Agreed!

Hi JiaXian,

Ref 96 is really appealing, specially when you see CL's post upper the forum!

Ref 3796 is interesting too but if it has to be around 30mm I'd prefer a 96's 12-120.

Ref 5096 would not be bad but probably so rare.

Ref 5026 would be the perfect deal but perhaps not easy to find, or more expensive, I don't know!

Ref 5196 is quite nice indeed, modern, beautiful, readily available, all the advantages of a current PP.

Ref 5396 is amazing but not the same league anymore!

In fact I'm quite open, and once I have a budget allocated I could even choose one without a "6"!

Oh 5016 has a "6".

Cheers and thank you for your help.

As the first, classic Patek, unless of course you want to spend a wee bit more then you could look at the ref. 5970 or 5004. Or even a ref. 5013 or 5016. But coming back to earth, any variant of the ref. 96 would be a good choice IMHO. The 32mm one is a b...
