My first Patek Philippe....
Hi,
It's not done yet, just a hope for 2008, the work done being a supplementary motivation!
Any idea to convince my wife (replace by banker if necessary)?
So that you know my taste the selection is easy though. The choice is between the classic 5196 RG and the new grey dial 6000 for the modern option!
A ref 96, 3796 or 5026 could be a discontinued one.
I'd take it easy for the first.
5098 and 5396 would come then with a 980 RG!
I don't even want to think about what should come next!
What do you think? Am I in the right way?

Hmmm I'd go for a variant of the ref. 96
As the first, classic Patek, unless of course you want to spend a wee bit more then you could look at the ref. 5970 or 5004. Or even a ref. 5013 or 5016. But coming back to earth, any variant of the ref. 96 would be a good choice IMHO. The 32mm one is a b...

I'm smitten by the discontinued ref 5000, Dje, and the 6000 . . .
. . . which are my favorite recent Pateks. A white gold 5000 is just perfect, in my humble opinion . . . cordially, Art
