Nice quartett, congratulations!
Interesting, but I thought that the Annual Calendar would be your choice as a dresswatch..
You have all the basics, but still 4 places in your watchbox: it is time to fill the places with a PC and a chrono and a Gondolo and ...
Apropos, watchbox: what kind of box it is, who is the manufacturer?
Yours,

My Patek Foursome
Just passed the1k-post milestone, so I have the perfect excuse to show you my small Patek family altogether: You have already seen them all, but not together. Actually, me neither, as strange as it may sound, so first time for me as well. I must admit tha...
Very nice line-up.
You have the bases covered with four really solid pieces. Well done. M4

Many thanks Adam!
I feel the 5960 a bit sportier, with the much taller case and the brown strap. The dial layout and pushers also contribute to that feeling. But the main reason is how it wears on my wrist. It sits in a more casual way, difficult to explain. The 5110 is mu...
What a nice collection you have and
With a wide range of complications ranging from world time, chrono, annual calendar, gmt.... Will be interested to know what will be your next target. Maybe a perpetual calendar?
Thanks Huei!
Talking about Patek, I would like to add in the future a manual winding chronograph, being the 5170P and the 5170G-010 (black) the main contenders at the moment: ...
IMHO, I think the 5170 black dial will compliment to your existing collection a little more.
The addition of a classic in-house column wheel chronograph plus the beloved breguet numerals will naturally expand your Patek portfolio to another level.
Very nice quad
All perfectly wearable and complementary! Nautilus, Aquanaut, ACChrono, Wt... all different complications too. Superb!
Many thanks BMR! You are right
I loved the watch, but for some reason I was not using it often enough. I bought it to cover a certain need, and it wasn't working as expected. And due to my wrist shape, it wasn't the most comfortable watch either. So when I found the 5960P, I thought th...
Unfortunately not all of our watch marriages work out, but you did what I would have done.
Any time I have a piece that I start to not wear anymore, it’s usually time to part ways. Besides that, you have more than covered any gaps between the 5712 and the 5960! It really is a great group you have, and it sounds like we are thinking similar on f...
Exactly, I cannot afford to have a piece of this level and don't wear it
So if something doesn't work, better to move on. The 5960 is a phenomenal timepiece, perfect combination of complications for everyday. And the 5170 is quite a watch, a bit pricey, but lovely. So far is just a long term project for me, but I would love to...
Wonderful quartet. You have all occasions covered by these Pateks.
And i believe you are just warming up. But with these 4 , your sufficiently covered. Cheers , my friend! Geross.
Thank you Geross! 😁
Now I have to rest after the warm up and enjoy these four while finding out which my next "need" is 😉
Beautiful collection.
I think your next need is to change your alias to 4watchman and so on upon next purchase...; )
Thanks 😊
Luckily I already have more than 4 watches, although I still consider myself as a 1 watch man 😂
This is a great foursome, 1wm!
4 watches for all occasions. Each one extremely beautiful and full of quality. 5712 was my first Patek and I still love it as on the first day. 5164 was no. 2 for me. This model is different but also a stunner. Instead of the 5110 I’ve got a 5130 for my l...
WOW, what a coincidence! Twin collections!👍
Congrats to you as well and thanks for your kind words.
Thanks a lot FRAMII!
I tend to prefer white metals. As I said, I wear my watches daily and I feel more comfortable this way, I prefer to keep my watches more "under the radar". But I also like YG and RG for certain occasions, so don't discard it for the future 😉
Why not? 😀
The 5131P is an extraordinary watch, but having already a WT, I would prefer to add something different (speaking complications). I love manual winding chronographs, so more interested now in the 5170P. Although yesterday I tried on a RG Lange 1 Daymatic ...
Fine collection
What a fine collection of high quality time pieces from one of the best maisons, yet all 4 very wearable. I really like the restrained designs which demonstrate class and refinement of both the brand and the owner Thanks for sharing
Great collection and indeed all bases covered but...
be honest, you’re not really “satisfied” yet because still looking with wandering eyes 👀 😂 Thanks for sharing and nice box too 👍🏻
That's truly an impressive collection 1WM!!
I could not imagine any better four-piece watch family for a top-level, everyday use than these from the current/recent Patek offering. And equally important, every piece shows all the thought and the passion you've put into building this exclusive group!...
What super kind words my friend, many many thanks! 😊
And I really appreciate your advice Fab. To be honest, I have never considered one of those special dials so far, but I promise to have a look at the future releases. And it's true that once the daily basics are covered, you can start dreaming 😉
Really super foursome.
When I see a collection like this I always have a little bit of envy. I think a majority of us here could be very happy with 4 watches, and especially (but not necessarily) of the quality and range of your foursome. You do have all the bases covered for t...
Thank you Jay! Nothing to envy, we all have different motivations and objectives
I've spent a lot of time trying to balance purposes, complications, metals, sizes, etc to end up with this foursome, which is almost perfect for my taste and needs. Lots of thoughts and tough decisions as well (and mistakes). But sometimes I do envy those...
Haha, yes, different strokes for different folks of course.
Thankfully I think the days of those real impulsive purchases are gone. It's just that I seem to like pretty much anything that's shiny and with that it's hard to have any real focus!
Very nice collection! The 5712/1A and 5960P-001 are some of my favorite pieces from Patek Philippe.
Congrats on the 1000 posts! Looking forward to many more!
Beautiful collection there.
I already have two of them (I have actually the 5230R) and I intend to add some variations of the other two in the future ( 5711A and 5960G). Aris
very nice!
Congratulations on putting together a well thought collection of modern Patek! I really like it! bravo.
Congratulations on your 1000th post (you're actually well past that now!)!
Beautiful, shiny Patek collection.
