5119 or 3919
After much thought and research on this website I decided what Patek I want as my first. I tried the 5119 on at my local jeweller and it sat nicely on my wrist, but the 3919 gets my heart beating faster, than the 5119. Only restraint is the smaller case. ...

Thanks
I get what you mean, but I think the difference minimal. Leaning towards a 3919 because this the original from historical point of view. Also curious if someone actually owns a 5022 rose gold. There aren't much for sale, maybe not so desirable??

Made my decision and went to buy the 3919, full set and serviced by Patek in december, then the shopowner pulls out an 36mm A Lang & Sohne 1815 yellow gold. So I went home with more food for thought. He has both watches on hold for a week for me to de...
