Patek Philippe 5905/1A - 001 and missing out on John Mayer
By: The Wellingtonian : May 8th, 2023-06:15
This is my lovely 5905 joining with me at work today. When the dial catches the light at the correct angle, it is absolutely stunning. That said, most of the time, especially indoors the colour is duller than in this photo. At least that is my experience ...
right choice

thanks for sharing! you did the right choice...love the green 5905. buy always what you like not what is liked by the mass
Thank you Nessuno and well said !

I totally agree. In life we can’t have everything. So we might as well try and do what we like not what others think or do 😁.
Interesting to hear your thoughts …

I had a similar experience, but it wasn’t because both watches arrived at the same time. Personally, I love my 5905, the dial is wonderful catching the sunlight dancing on the e dial. I’m sure it will look just as special in ten years time. Best regards C...
Thank you Captain!

Absolutely! I am very happy that I decided on the 5905 without any doubt. As you said, I also have no doubt it will bring me joy in years to come. Thanks again
My pleasure….

I would chose this over the rolex for sure

I have had similar thoughts and reservations about adding a colored gold watch. I like how they look, but not the attention. Patek is very nice in this green dial variant.
Indeed!

Would you consider 5711 in full gold or a future 5811 if offered 😉😉?? Decisions, decisions …
Congratulations on the choice you had

tbh I would have chosen in this case the Rolex because I am not a fan of the 5905 bracelet... but for sure this is more wearable and no safe queen - enjoy!
Thank you Gordon!

I am not a big lad and my wrist size is 16.5cm. This does not wear big at all. It is not uncomfortable on the wrist either.
You made the right choice!

Patek over Rolex for me any day. Rolex makes some great iconic pieces but the mere fact that their watch is named after some two but celebrity is a turn off for me. Apologies to the John Mayer fans. 5905 is a stunner and one of my favorite pieces. ...
Lovely photos of your piece!

Both companies are very good at what they do I think. But they position themselves differently don’t they? I prefer Patek Philippe too, but one of the many reasons for that includes the fact that Patek Philippe is “less popular “ among the masses although...
