Patek Philippe

Recently I look the picture of 5078P and 5959P. They are very nice watches. which one do you prefer? why?

...I personally perferr 5959. Why? That's a good question.. If I could have only one watch in the whole universe, this is the one!!

between the choices of the two, 5959 in a heart beat. 5078 indeed a pretty watch, but there are models higher. But 5959 is in a league of its own, hard to compare ...

I love the idea of a split seconds chronograph. Especially an all in-house movement wish such classic proportions and a single start/stop/reset button. But I truly love the sound of the 5078; you can't ask a 5959 to make such a lovely sound. It's just not... 

I would prefer the Minute Repearter complication over the Split Second.

I took this picture when I visited auction. I really like PP Logo at the back....  

Hi, The 5078 is truly beautiful but the 5959 has IMO the most incredible current PP calibre! I love 5959! Cheers Dje

Both are very nice watches. I wish that I can afford both, but I can only choose one of them. Sometimes, I wonder why Patek always make these wonderful watches. the price is almost out of reach. I would like to hear more suggestions. Thank you.

While I would love to have a 5078, the 5959 is unique and one of the rarest watches in the world. Simple, elegant, yet very complex and difficult to build with only a maximum of 10 made per year. Amazing engineering to make a split of this type in a movem... 

Thank you for all suggestions. I think I'll go for 5078P, simple and elegent, I like 5959 too, but the 33.2mm case is too small for me.

Have you tried a 5959 on your wrist? It wears larger than its size.

especially on white dial, no doubt 5959 is a nice watch.

While I appreciate the technical execution of 5959, that watch us simply too small even for my srawny wrist. Had a chance to hold it in my hands. No thanks - 5078 all the way!
