I agree with "William C"
I have seen many coments for asking advice on choice.
Yet, the words of "William C" describe everything.
There are many watches, watch company, and Patek watches.
It is more and more defficult to choose which one to get.
As we acquire more knowledge, we get confused more.
It is very difficult choose.
The bottom line is as "William C" tells, getting what one likes
is the most practical decision, I guss.
Personally, I think, there is no mistake in what patek to choose.
Purchasing first PP tomorrow.
I've been over thinking which Patek to buy for my first one for the last couple of months. I decided that tomorrow I'm going to pull the trigger. Here are the choices: New 5711 Pre-owned 5056P or 5146P I love all three models but can only buy one at the m...
congratulations
me too recently purchased my first PP. leisurely browsing through catalogues looking for a PP, i saw too many models i wanted to buy -actually, there are almost no PP watches i wouldn't like to have on my wrist. five models made it on my shortlist, price ...
^^
thank you, My Lord. now since i "have" the taste, i'd like to "have" the watch. but supposedly one "never really owns a PP"... anyway, you have posted some great pictures of the 3738 and i took the liberty to use one of them as my desktop picture
Your welcome! Was in London just this weekend and at the PP...
Bond Street botique they had a Golden and a Platinum one in theire window. Although wearing mine on the day, I was a bit irretated wheter a new, bigger golden Ellipse came out: it looked so nice and "big" that it confused me a lot for a second! ! Nice to ...
5711 would be my choice
for an everyday wear.i love the fact that 99.9% of population will never realise what a special watch you are wearing. happy hunting darren
If you can get a good deal on a pre-owned
and it is in good shape, why not? some pre-owned watches are in fact new. Get the one you like best is my advice. Best regards, George
The most important thing is to buy something you like ...
The more versatile of the 3 you mentionned being, IMO, the Nautilus 5711. Try them, your wrist will tell you which one to choose. Best, Nicolas.
Play "safe" and get yourself the Nautilus first ...
It is one those Pateks that every PP lover likes and would like to have too. After that you can go more classic, more formal and choose a dress watch with a leather strap. The nautilus can also be combined to suit, certainly, but for formal wear a leather...
5711
Having been handed down a 5711 I would definitely recommend it. Great looking sport watch (very light too) that can be worn everyday. Am also looking to get my first patek with my own money and am deciding between 5980 and 5726....and yes it is very hard ...
you will not regret the 5711

New 5711...
When Im purchasing something of this caliber being a Patek I would want it brand new. I personally would not purchase a used patek unless youve real done your homework on the watch itself. Meaning service dates/ who owned it/ how it was cared for. Even th...
As "tomorrow" is now done
and your purchase is probably made, my answer will begin with the bottom line which is, buy what you like, not what we like. As everyone else has suggested that the Nautilus is somehow the obvious choice, and something "any serious Patek lover will be fon...
done
I do love the Nautilus and will probably get someday. I went for the 5146P. I'm excited. Details to follow.

I had a 5146P and grew to 'hate' it
The 5146 dial began to look like two very close set eyes with a deeply frowning mouth (moonphase). I know it's only in my head, but it was the last Patek I ever owned--and I've never quite gotten over the unhappy face of that dial... I warn against that d...
Purchase update(s)
So I bought a pre-owned but sealed 5146P. I've had it for several days and I love it. It's my first Patek as I mentioned earlier and the finish is amazing. It was breeze to set initially and I'm enjoying watching all the complications work. I am so impres...
