I can fully understand the voice you keep hearing :-)
It takes incredible courage to sell three watches to buy one unless that one watch is the one you cannot live without! I once persuaded a fellow purist to sell three of his Pateks to buy the 5270R. He loves his 5270R. Among the three was a 5711/1A which he truly misses and he has since placed an order for one! I wish in a way that I was in your position of being able to sell 3 watches to get close to a Patek minute repeater (I'd be happy with the 5078G) but unfortunately, I would need to sell my sis and her daughter to get anywhere close! 
Tell me I'm being daft...
Clipping from UK newspaper 'Telegraph' supplement... It's that time of the year, every year I feel at my most vulnerable! LOL The new PP releases are still fresh, my brain awash with tormenting thoughts manifesting in my subconscious, fuelled by the flipp...

I actually am!
But they are my only relatives I can think of with any value! That did not come out so right but you know what I mean (I hope!)
Consolidation often involves discipline and structure.
So if the heart and mind are in agreement I’d say yes, although I’m curious which three would have to go.
To maintain good family ties
and also because my sister's partner is a lot bigger than I am, I would have to sell my entire collection including those that are due to arrive in the next few years! The list includes the 5099RG, the 7200-010 London Edition, the 1530A, the 5940G, the 38...
I’m struggling with a similar thought!
This is truly iconic, just when I thought Patek had stopped evolving they come out with a world time minute repeater, in rose gold to boot! It’s an extraordinary sum to spend on a timepiece, but for some reason it is making sense considering the rarity an...
This 5531 is a grail ! Your decision also depends on which ...
three you need to sell. Good luck with your decision !
Totally agree that "going all in" on the 5531 is a decision that might make sense. This piece is simply on a different level, no matter how many other Pateks one already owns...
The only thing is, given the low production and high competition, I would wait to be approved before selling any other Pateks too soon... Alas, at least for most collectors, getting this watch might easily take several years. In any event please keep us p...
Patek
I understand your dilemma completely because I’m in the same situation but on a smaller level. I’m selling two Pateks and topping up to acquire a 5970P which is my grail . Hope I’m not making a mistake 😢because I do love the two pieces that I’m sacrificin...
