hard choices...the problem really is...
hard choices...the problem really is that both the RO and the Nautilus speak to my heart.
But you made a good point, another AC for my son (and for me fist of all) from Patek would be a nice idea. They make the AC as Ref. 5726, but I like the 5712 better. Attractive alternatives to me are 5205 and of course the 5960 (which is a different price category)
Both the white gold and the red gold 5205 are extremely classy watches. And I am also tempted by the classic 5396. Tough choices indeed...

Stefan

New Arrival.....
New Arrival and the first PP in our family. Certainly not the last one. 4936R. Early morning picture - I didnt have the time for the hands to align in a better angle.... Needless to say, my wife is very happy. Stefan...
thanks Nicolas. The piece will be handed down to...
...my daughter. The funds transfer process was clearly less painful with that future in mind. As you can see, the communcation capaign of PP works out... Stefan
Two. A daughter of 3 and a small son of 10 months.
So at least another nice PP is due. I am looking forward choosing one.... Considering 5712 , 5205 and 5060P. Best Stefan
Congratulations!
Hey, it's all good: I have firm plans to hand down my men's PPs (all 36mm case sizes) to my daughters! :)
That's an excellent idea and your daughters will be...
Very happy to wear her fathers watch! I converted a 1950's Pink gold Longines in a ladies watch and it looks just great ! Best Stefan
Congrats to your wife and daughter Stefan
Great looking piece for the ladies. Obviously your wife is delighted! Pls post more pictures next time. Cheers Robin
Congrats to your wife & daughter
Here is the one of my wife. As we only have a son (13), we have to hope for a nice daughter in law to take it one day :-) Best regards Georg ...
A nice AC..
Don't really see this reference often. Which makes me think there are probably very few female Patek owners. There is only 1 lady minute repeater watch vs probably 8 (or more) others for male. The mother of pearl dial makes it very endearing for the lady....
Thanks for the comment...
I will check it again. Actually the moon phase was set by the staff at the AD...need to check nevertheless . Stefan
the moonphase settings is...
something left to the owner to set; I feel. The AD would not be point precise with setting the moonphase because they would need a reference. That is if they are wearing a Patek themselves and can refer. Toy with it. It's a beautiful complication to have....
The WG version is very beautiful as well.
Interesting.. Looking at a watch from the perspective of a family piece that you will hand down makes such a big difference. Cheers Stefan
Wonderful, lucky she is
Nice that PP makes so beautiful timepieces. After all there is no reason than we can enjoy wearing these beauties and then feel disappointed to see quartz movement watches when looking at the wrist of our wife / daughters. You made a very good choice, con...
Congratulations on the new arrival to the family...
And may I add my praise on your choice of Patek's :)
It looks like ...
two people are happy, now. She can enjoy it on her wrist and you too - even when it is different :-) Congrats and I hope it will show her good times, only. Oliver
Hi Stefan, Congrats to your wife and congrats in advance for your daughter !!
This watch makes an excellent timepiece for your wife (lovely MOP dial, bling bling, and useful AC function) and a superb heirloom to your daughter (timeless design + all the good things mentioned). Have fun repeating the same for you and your son !! Chee...
thanks for the nice comment, Gordon, for my son...
...i am contemplating a AP ROO Dual Time or a Nautilus 5712 in steel. I think steel is more wearable for a young man than a gold piece Any advise or views? regards Stefan
Hi Stefan, happy to share my advice / views which nauturally are ...
... subject to your personal and family preference / requirements Firstly, since this male watch is "yours" until it becomes an heirloom to your son, you need to love it yourself. So does the Nautilus or AP ROO sing to your heart ?? Second, when it comes ...

Hi Stefan, you have some difficult choices to make but...
...the process is extremely enjoyable !! 5712 is a good choice but a different style than your wife's. For my hunt for an AC, it came down to 5205 and 5396. For me, 5205 is more stylish and more contemporary, whereas 5396 is a classic and has more Patek C...
thanks Gordon for the nice...
thanks Gordon for the nice photo of your 5396. I must say that it is a very tempting AC indeed....I was just yesterday looking at the PP catalogue and wondering, whether the 5205 will stand the test of time...while with the 5396, there is no doubt. The cl...
thank geross, for commenting on my old post...
...it made me going back one year and looking at the photos I posted of my wife's PP. (there is another post with more photos) best Stefan
glad you like it. that's something really nice here on...
..the forum that we can share our delights, and so the joy is multiplied (almost at least) best Stefan
