For me . . .
Patek Philippe is synonymous with complicated watches. I do appreciate the quality, styling and appeal of many of the non-complicated watches Patek produce (I do also loathe some, but each to his own!). But I think dollar-for-dollar, the complicated watches represent better value, and will provide greater pleasure in wearing and owning, than standard timepieces.
I was recently toying with the Gondolo Trapezium, which retails here in the UK for GBP£10,000. It's a lot of money for a manual wind watch, and I felt that I would rather spend the additional £4,900 and buy the Annual Calendar 5146 which looks a lot more watch for the money.
That said, you must buy what you like, and not be influenced by the likes and dislikes of others!!
Good luck!
