Hard to say less-is-more here. For me, these are a more-is-more proposition. :)
Wonderful pieces. The 3448 is just perfect. The nicest and cleanest PC. And the 5970 is my favorite Patek of all time and best PCC, hands-down. An absolute treasure. Perfect size, design....everything (except the price!). The 3940 is a legend too. So slim and well designed yet subtle. Although in gold, none of them scream "look at me," especially the PCs with their smaller sizes; and yet they are eye-catching and captivating.
Any one of them could be a gentleman's only watch, worn forever and passed down. I don't feel that way about many watches as they are like clothing and accessories which come and go, worn variably, mood depending.
Cheers,
John

This is not a contest… 😉
I am not trying to compare and ask which one is better, just sharing my happiness that today is full moon and enjoying the beauty of each of these PP pc… The best decision I have ever taken is when I decided to implement my « less is more » strategy. Step...
Each of them is having its charm 😉
But of course yes I know this Wonder Watch is very special
The 5970 for me
as for the moonphase and also as for the watch, Mike! I remember very well when you went through this phase and you wrote your new objects of desire in a slip of paper… Your question was like this: why do we own several good paintings if we can get one Re...

Thanks for your kind words John
To be honest I really can’t say I like one of the three more than the others, they complement each other, a kind of ultimate PC collection for me, and all of them are giving me immense pleasure when looking at them

I saw my Clifton points up the full moon. I discovered a nice 5054J. MP and as desert a wanted PRM. Not as you, i never dreamed about owning a Patek, albeit it would be a fun watch that is a fest for the eye. So i consider to get the 5054J. Sure, i want t...
The 5054 runs with the calibre 240…
…which is a real work horse caliber, very efficient and reliable. This micro rotor caliber is surely as good as any other big rotor one of the brand. As for the design of 5054 it is a question of personal taste and thus only you can decide if it is the on...
A simple one? 😳😳
There is no simple 3448, all are a work of art and yours is a beautiful 2nd series as well
The 3448 will always be a stunner for many reasons...
...but the 3940J is a perfect watch imho...
A exhibition of greatness🍻🏅
Usually i would always go for the perpetual calendar chronograph, but the full moon phase from your 3448 is just gorgeous 🍻🥃
That is a fabulous collection of Patek.
In fact, it's a fabulous collection, period. You could not do any better if they were your only three watches. Just beautiful, Mike.
Many thanks for your kind words Mike 🙏
Long time no see, I hope you are doing well my friend 😉
Yes, the 3940 makes a great daily beater. 👍
Great to see a Purist with dream Patek 3448. It would actually be enough but why not more? 😃
That is a dream collection . Just perfect but I will always have eyes for the 3448
First series enamel letters and the PP crown nothing can beat this one ( but the first series 3940 comes close) Thank you for sharing Julian
Thanks for your kind words 🙏
Fully agreed even if I must that I also love my 5970. Each of these three has its own charm
Mike, on reflection I think “less is more” does not quite apply. Perhaps “fewer is more” is a better description. Applying the word “less”
to those 3 watches seems inappropriate. Enjoy! Best, Patekova
Hahaha 🤣 I never thought of it
But in a way you are right 👍 Thanks for your kind words
You are too kind my friend !
Such compliments coming from you have even much more value ! Merci beaucoup Nico ! 🙏🙏
3 beautiful watches
which exude class and style. Wear them in good health and post often. Thanks so much for the post. C
What a great collection of PC and PCC ! I also see a collection of
watches with gold moon phases ! This is an interesting collection “theme” Mike ! 👍 What is next given the “less is more” strategy ? 🤣
Gold moon phase is beautiful indeed 😉
As for the next one, allow me to keep the surprise but it might be in line with the theme 😉
Just wow!
All so different, exceedingly special, and collectively form a jaw-dropping three-some that (for me anyway) rivals much bigger collections. Bravo! 👏
So many thanks for your very kind words
I am not trying to compare with others collections, just following my way and instinct for what makes my heart beat faster
I would never compare, just absolutely in love with the three that you have. 👌
Can look at them together all year round, and can only imagine seeing all three next to each other in person!
Don’t worry I know how lucky I am to have these three…
Actually even my Calatrava from the 50´s is giving me equal pleasure every time I wear it and that’s why I don’t want to have too many more: each of them deserves a more of wrist time
This is a truly wonderful line-up of stunners, Mike
For me 3448 rules 😄 and is most probably my most unaccomplishable dream. 5970 is lovely but not really my cup of tea though as I would always prefer the 3970. 3940 is still on my wish list and your 1. series is amazing. Biggest congrats for these marvelou...
Glad that you appreciate them
Actually 3970 was in my wishlist too but I missed the one I was targeting end of last year 🙈 (2nd series). Now the train has left the station I’m afraid 😢
All 3 Top notch Patek watches.
Full of Patek DNA and class. 5970 for me purely due to its proportions. Proper old school. Enjoy. M.
The 5970’s proportions are perfection.
On almost any wrist and in all colours. But thank you for your love of the Salmon. M.
What a dream trio !!! very nice
Horology Ancienne had a post about how patek changed the moonphase of their watches over time. But I could not find anymore on their instagram.
It’s a very special watch
Pure pleasure every time I wear mine. This one is a second series too like mine (but with the classic Calatrava crown, a small detail that makes a big difference 😉)
amazing selection mike - and great pics too
love the 3940 then 3448 if was forced to pick haha
