Patek 5146G-001 vs 5960/1A
By: pfslai : February 16th, 2015-07:19
I have an order for a 5146G-001 which will arrive in a few weeks. My budget is already a bit stretched but with the recent price increase I might be able to stretch myself for a 5960/1A. I know that the styling on 5960/1A is a bit controversial but anyone...
Honestly ...

you think too much about prices, for my taste. Be lucky that you can afford a PP and don´t do any compromises. If the later is needed, maybe you should take more time. Oliver

Oliver After getting my 5712/1a I thought of getting an annual calendar. So it took me a few years to save up some money and I was quite content ordering the 5146. However, Patek had to put the 5960 complication in SS and lower their prices - all of which...
Paul, thanks for the details.

Still I think you should not limit yourself to price tags when dreaming about watches. Listen to your heart, it is a luxury "hobby/addiction" and not a business case. From time to time we are (hopefully) able to fulfill some of our dreams. Find out what y...

Nicholas I don't think I've seen a SS patek in a strap. Or can someone point one out? Your right, the bracelet seem just a little "flashy". thanks Paul
Maybe you haven´t seen them ...

but there have been a few: 5004A, 5950A, 3670A, 5565A, ... 3718 ... For further research/homework, there is dedicated book to start with ... Cheers, Oliver ...

incoming watch first. The price fluctuation should not drive your decision as reductions going in are reflected going out in most instances. Its all the same in the end.
Personal choice
By: w220 : February 16th, 2015-16:41
It's a personal choice of course. If I were in that situation, I would stick with the 5146. 10 or 20 years from now, the 5146 will look like a great old classic, while the 5960/1A will be a "what were they thinking??" watch. IMHO of course.
thanks
By: pfslai : February 16th, 2015-16:57
Yes, it would seem that the 5146 is a safe classic choice...
Annual Calendar
By: keks : February 17th, 2015-22:13
If you have a 5712A and looking for a complement choosing between 5146G and 5960A seem simple on paper. The 5146G would be most things the 5712A is not. However not knowing anything about your lifestyle and preferences in life it is impossible to make a r...

black strap
By: keks : February 18th, 2015-12:07
amanico I agree with you on the black calf strap. Would look incredible. I suppose the thinking from Pateks side is that the watch case facing the strap is not highly polished as it is meant to face the steel bracelet. So if you put a soft strap on you wo...
5146
By: Pingparme : June 13th, 2015-07:37
hi, 5146 is a beautiful annual calendar and stays classic and true to patek's dna. The 5160/1A is a very well built and finished watch but the dial,is very striking and looks more like a sports watch and is unconventional patek. But people say the 5960/1A...
5146g
By: pfslai : June 16th, 2015-20:37
In the end I went with 5146G. (Please pardon my poor pix of the watch - like all pateks, they all look better real life) It was sort of already made for me because the 5960 had been sold. Originally, I wanted the R but the G turns out to have a versatile ...
WG vs RG
By: Pingparme : July 20th, 2015-02:05
Congratulations Paul on the 5146! The WG is definitely more understated and you can enjoy wearing it in many more occasions. Mine is the WG with the slate grey dial and enjoy wearing it wether it's for the weekend or for more formal purposes. I have order...
WG
By: pfslai : July 31st, 2015-21:14
Thanks! Actually WG with the slate dial would have been what I preferred but I just can't find it anywhere close to me.
5960/1A - the strap arrived
By: dr.kol : August 1st, 2015-00:20
and PP buckle is ordered. I will replace the bracelet in two weeks. I bought 5960/1A as a "nice to have watch". How wrong I was! Now when I have been wearing this reference for a month or so, I have learned to love it a lot. Everything is right in this wa...
I agree.
By: dr.kol : August 1st, 2015-00:46
But I have experienced the comfy of the bracelet and it also seems to loose its shine in a short time. So strap or bracelet - it's a wonderful watch. Best, Kari
It looks very promising Kari

It reminds me of the Onlywatch Ti 5004's strap. Eager to see the result. Cheers, Mark
