Fun and thought provoking post. I will limit myself to modern - 5016P silver dial and 5131P. Here are the reasons:

5016P is my top choice, because for me it is amazingly beautiful - has a perfectly balanced dial, perfect size, comfortable to wear, classically styled, uber complicated and platinum (and platinum is well, platinum!). For me easily my favorite modern Patek.
3712 1/A was initially my second choice because of its rarity, practicality, versatility, comfort to wear because it is thin and light weight, great look and complication, steel and robust. Problem, there are many modern watches I prefer, especially 5131 - any 5131! Since I never wear a watch for sports (even a Rolex) that eliminated the need for a steel, water resistant sports/sporty watch. But I would still want something casual and in a white metal and with a bracelet. Something I could wear with jeans or anything else for that matter. That watch for me is 5131P!
Number 3, if allowed, would be a 3712 1/A for the above reasons; or 5711 1/R to add variety (rose gold) and simply because it is beautiful, rare, elegant and sporty all at the same time.
