Patek Philippe

Very insightful comment!

 

It's funny, I actually do not care for the 6000 or the 6006 - or, for that matter, the 6007.
This is how I dress on a daily basis. I do not own any Brunello Cucinelli, which I do not particularly care for, but I do love my sweaters - particularly those from Inis Meian - and wear a lot of corduroy, tweed, etc. I am also partial to lighter colored neutrals, and often wear whites and beiges. I agree with your overall sentiment, it fits in very nicely with that kind of look. Clothing is, and always will be, my first love - with watches a very, very close second.
Your point about the 5226 is interesting, and it is one that I question as well - the 5226 is very of the moment and it is unclear to me how much staying power it will have.
Always appreciate your prejudiced ramblings!

Patek No. 2

This is one that I have always had my eye on and that has been on my wish list for a couple of years - although my AD told me that he has rarely seen these. I planned on the 5226 being my next Patek, but I got a call two days ago from my AD indicating tha...  

Only buy what you love and can't live without! "Fashion fades, style is eternal."

I will admit I bought one or two pieces simply because they were available in a world where watches were unavailable. And now, a couple years later, I find I never wear them, nor do I find them extremely endearing. That being said, this 5212 really suits ... 

Very insightful comment!

And I realized I'm even more hypocritical...

I own a WorldTime too, and that has A LOT OF LITTLE TEXT all over the dial! Arguably even more than the 6000 and 6006. So who knows, maybe I'd learn to like the 5212. I personally find Cucinelli products to be way overpriced and only "normal" quality. But... 

My other Patek is a 5205G-013

The 5226 was surprisingly charming to me. It looked much better in person and had a very nice presence. So far, I have stayed away from fauxtina watches - and I think it is fair to say that the 5226 is leaning into that trend. But I cannot make my mind up... 

Oh I like this term! Fauxtina!

Fauxtina. That's the first time I've heard that one! Only time will tell for sure. But I know this much. I don't expect that I'll go chasing for it. And generally, I find good design, even modern good design, lasts a very long time. When I looked at the O... 

Funny you say that…

Because I own the octo finissimo in stainless with a silver dial!!

Oh!

Did you post that before? My memory is a little off these days! An excellent choice!

Do you think this will make a daily wearer?? My AD offered one to me, but it felt kind of fragile. No doubt its a beauty though, so wear in the best of health!
