Patek Philippe

Thanks - appreciate the input!

 

Very beautiful 3940R indeed. Although any perpetual dial needs to be busy, the 3940 is a quiet perpetual that is so classic. I'm also trying to find a classic rose gold (creme/off white/opaline dial) dress-type watch that will survive the fads/swings/preferences of years to come. 3940R is on my short list. Also the 5170R-001. Perhaps an understated Annual Calendar. For a classic dress watch I'm looking at the type of complications that Patek has made for a couple generations or more. Love the manual wind, also the thinner automatics. Nothing too chunky or nouveau that might look dated/period 15 years from now.
I think you absolutely nailed it with the two watch collection you share in this post. Congratulations on your fine taste Libor.
Best,
Robert

Someone didn't miss a workout this week! I wear my Rg Richard Lange with jeans/t-shirt once a week or so - but mostly out of necessity to keep it in rotation due to leaving the suits' life a few years ago. I have gotten used to it, but did feel a bit self... 

Congrats!

The perpetual calendar patek in rose gold is one of my all time favorites patek and one of my favorite watches all brands included. Its really magical on all aspects. Enjoy it

It's not even unorthodox! It's just cool! And it's just a versatile watch!

In Ian Flemings books; James Bond wears a Rolex Submariner (not an Omega like the movies) with a Tuxedo. In real life, that seems strange, but in the books it works!

I love to do that

In fact I more often mix watch and clothes style than wearing them as intended. It works great both ways. Love to wear a dress watch with jeans (as you do in perfect style) or a steel on a rubber strap sports watch or vintage Rollie with a tie. It‘s like ...  

Absolutely guilty

Beautiful 3940R!

May I ask, do you always set the date, year, moon, etc - each and every time you pick it up to wear it? I must admit, with my 5712 - I do not! ;-) but it doesn't bother me. Best, Robert

here is my subjective opinion- the patek rose gold is indeed something special. i looked for a long time at rolex rose gold which appears more copper in color, and lange rose gold which is more pinkish in color- both great colors and both great brands but... 

Mike, do you ever feel the 3940 is small?

 
By: Robert65 : October 7th, 2020-15:31
The 3940 appears to wear larger than a 36mm - not to mention the reference is a techno marvel/giant - however do you ever look down at your wrist and feel it's diameter is not right for you? I'm asking because as a 6'1" 190lb guy - I just want to ensure I...

Feels similar to 116520 Daytona which is perfect for me but maybe you can try one on locally ?

Excellent, thanks!

The 116520 is a 40mm case, but you're saying the dial face of the 3940 is similar size to the 116520. Got it, thanks. Very helpful! Best, Robert
