and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Just wondering if there is a somewhat widely held agreement on certain Patek references that are very nice looking in Yellow Gold
It’s subjective

But here are a few references 5070j 5131j 5110j 3970j Happy hunting H.
thank you!
By: Robert65 : July 15th, 2020-13:41
So far the 5110j is the only reference in my price range - and yes, it's quite nice. However, it does seem difficult to love a yellow gold case (in a non-grail reference) these days. Perhaps in ten years or so, J will swing back into favor. But for now - ...
Yes, R is easy to love.

But J is elusive. I can't think of any model range where Patek enthusiasts nearly universally regard the J as the best choice of the range.
thanks!

Timeless! ;-)
I am not trying to claim the Ellipse has become rare but ...

... I noticed that since last year or so the offerings are fewer. I think people start to appreciate the value for money aspect of the Ellipse. It is Patek's slimest offering with a fine, fine movement at a quite "reasonable" price. The above said were al...
Many thanks!

Yes, the 5070 looks great in J - as it does in any metal. The 5110 however, is an obtainable and interesting choice that does look very appealing in yellow.
Good to see you updated your original question in the header :)
By: Clueless_Collector : July 15th, 2020-13:49
From most sought after to looking great. I’m sure you already noticed most yellow gold references are the least appreciated except some advertising that 5970J is actually the rarest of the 4 metals. What looks best is when you wear it on your wrist and yo...
yes, I changed the question because I'm trying to avoid problems
By: Robert65 : July 15th, 2020-13:54
You're correct in that it seems that yellow gold references are the least appreciated except in grail/unobtainable/prohibitively expensive examples. I understand that what really matters is what you feel in your heart when you try the watch on in person. ...
5231J
By: Pretty Boy : July 15th, 2020-14:21
Best, V. ...
It’s a beauty but 5131/1P is a different level.
By: Pretty Boy : July 15th, 2020-15:39
I never thought that I would say this since, as you know, I got 5231J before 5131/1P and I was deeply in love with 5231J (and I still am). But 5131/1P is such a stunning overall package (except for the clasp 😂).
nice

In the future if G model would be produced, this J might be superior
Yes, the 5231 enamel artistry very nicely tolerates J

When I was a kid, there use to be a breakfast cereal in the United States called CoCo Puffs. It was the most god-awful chocolate flavored bits of chemical garbage that was a heart attack waiting to happen. There was this TV commercial that claimed, "Coco ...

Robert, I'm going to offer a contrary view.
By: sam1234 : July 15th, 2020-19:42
I will respectfully disagree with your principle assertion that yellow gold is somehow less desirable/popular, in most references. I assume of course we limit our discussion to "classic" Patek watches rather than less formal, sportier ones. I think most w...

Good tip
By: Robert65 : July 17th, 2020-08:50
the 5227j is a value proposition with the hinged (hunter? Officer?) back as well as the Y deployant buckle. Appreciate your input! Best, Robert
Watches that really stand out in J, are the classics such as 5196, 5227
By: WH_ : July 16th, 2020-00:38
Also i saw someone posted the 5035, the first ever annual calendar, which looks great. I'm posting its replacement, the 5146, also in J, which i think is a great expression of the model (the G is outstanding as well). All those 4 PPs are in the "reasonabl...
