Patek Philippe Gondolo
Read your post with great interest. I don't normally venture onto this forum, as I will likely never be able to afford a Patek Philippe in this lifetime. However, that doesn't stop me from admiring. My grail watch is this Godolo. A couple of months ago, while having drinks at my favourite patio, I actually saw a lady wearing this very model. I had never seen one in the wild, although I did try one on at the local AD. My eyes nearly popped out of my head when I saw this on the lady's wrist. It looked magnificent, to say the least:

Perhaps this is not your style, but it is a very suitable size for anyone. It is white gold, with a "rose" dial, as I believe it states on the website. In fact, the dial is more of a tobacco shade.
Just another suggestion for you. Will be very interested to see what you eventually end up with.
Cheers

First Patek Philippe Gents for a Lady
Hello everyone I was initially looking at a Rose Gold Rolex Daytona but decided to get a Patek Philippe instead. I only have a lady oyster perpetual with diamonds and wanted some different, much bigger, classic yet sporty for everyday used. So a between C...
Nautilus is a good choice
I think a men's Nautilus such as the 5711 1a in stainless steel is a good choice. If you are willing to consider a Daytona, then try the 5980 1a chrono. Also, a yellow gold vintage Nautilus such as the 3800 (35mm) often show up in auctions at a reasonable...
if it should be something really classic ...
... you should not go over 37 mm. Luckily there are some quite nice Pateks to choose from: - the 5119: gorgeous bezel, timeless roman numerals and in RG one of my favourites. -the 6000 RG if it should be something quirky, something from the 30ies. -or the...
Why not try AP?
The 37mm Royal Oak looks very good on ladies wrists :-) I think It would look better than a Nautilus or Aquanaut (since you asked for sporty) Best Marwan
Why not try AP?
My GM wears an AP and he loves it very much. I think watches are very personal preference. Somehow the style doesn't quite do it for me
Broaden your horizons
My friends always come to me looking for advice on whether they should by X watch, I like to make sure that they've had a good look around first before making any purchases. In terms of the 2 Pateks you listed, I personally don't like the 5205G for men or...
Broaden your horizons
Thanks Marwan. This is going to be my first purchase of a high end watch so I have to make sure I get it right. Most people in Singapore knows only of Rolex and have been advised to get one. Peer pressure. Anyway Thanks for the advice. I will try on more ...

Patek Philippe Gondolo
It is very nice indeed. For that shape I was initially thinking of Piaget Emperador or A JLC Grande Reverso. Shouldn't compare it with a Patek Philippe I know. But will explore more on all the suggestions so far.
This nautilus
Sporty classic elegent. Wears well casual and formal. Best Iceman But this is my favourite ladies watch by far. ...
Do you prefer slim or chunky looking & feel watches?
The 5205G does sit quite high off the wrist and I wouldn't describe it as being totally discreet. Personally, I would choice either the excellent and recently discontinued 5127 Calatrava or its new replacement the 5227. Enjoy your research it can be a lot...
No stock
Singapore has not received 5205R and 5227 yet.....:-( Any idea how much are the retail prices?
Annual Calendar
How about this one? PF 4936g, also available in RG and YG. Best Stefan ...
2013 collections not in Singapore yet
Ok. Tried both watches and am still not quite sure. Still waiting for 5227R and 5205R but here are what 5127R and 5205 look like on my wrist. Both are sooo beautiful. Apologies for the quality of the photographs. ...
I like your choices ...
... But I'm afraid they seem a but oversized in your wrist, to my eyes at least. I'm certainly no expert of lady's fashion, but for a classic look the wrist should frame the watch case and the lugs a bit more discreetly. As larger watch styles have evolve...
Agree
I agree with you. 5127 looks big on my wrist n for classic elegance I should choose a smaller calatrava. I guess the 5205 Would make a bold statement on my wrist. Both pieces are very different.
5085
The Patek 5085 ss is no longer in production but I will tell you, I get lots of compliments from women. On a couple occasions, they have put it on their wrist and I was amazed how good it looked. However, I am glad my wife has her eyes on other things bec...
