A 6119 would be an exquisite Patek!šI really canāt speak for Lange (which of course is a totally legitimate option), but a second (or first??) Patek model in that price range could be a 5738R, the supremely classy Golden Ellipse in the current catalog..

Iām pretty sure itās actually easier to source than a 6119, and I find its elegance just unbeatable!š Here are a few pictures that I just found, taken at an AD here in the US:

Rolex discontinued models
By: johnhiggins1960 : April 3rd, 2022-13:21
I hope youāre having a good Sunday. Any thoughts on the discontinued colourful Rolex OPs? Itās played straight into the hands of the flippers, the price on chrono24 for the discontinued models is ridiculous. I managed to pick this up from my AD back in 20...

Indeed.
By: johnhiggins1960 : April 3rd, 2022-14:22
They are trendy and on point. The watch wears really well, very comfortable and light. Itās a shame theyāve discontinued them.
Iāve not seen the green one.

My wife has the turquoise one in 31mm, Itās rather charming in that size. I donāt get the hype on the turquoise dial. How do you like the green one? It must be more versatile then the yellow one. The yellow one is good in casual settings but it standouts ...
Nice photos!

Interesting, we actually got my wifeās 31mm in Italy! Casually strolling down the Ponte Vecchio and we saw it in the window at the Rolex AD Casseti. The good old days, when you could walk by a Rolex AD and see a watch you likeā¦.and purchase it!
Very true.
By: johnhiggins1960 : April 3rd, 2022-15:54
But I feel like itās taken a little bit of the joy out of it. I used to buy a watch when I wanted to mark a specific milestone in my life. I have a big work milestone towards the end of the month and I wanted to mark the dayā¦ unfortunately the current sup...
Exactly how I feel about it all.

My sister and I wanted to buy a datejust for my nephew as his graduation present, no chance of it. Rolex was meant to be a durable functional watch. One could work very hard to purchase a Rolex to mark an achievement in life. No more. I don't believe in a...
I think your on to something!
By: johnhiggins1960 : April 3rd, 2022-16:26
Rolex donāt benefit from the inflated secondary market, but I think the hype is fuelling general demandā¦ which is good for their sales. Last night at dinner, someone who Iāve know for 15 years, starts talking to me about the watch market. In 15 years heās...
I am thinking Omega Seamaster
By: Poky : April 3rd, 2022-20:39
The problem is that he lives in Italy and only Rolex has the kudos there, so I have been told. My first proper watch was an Omega Seamaster which I bought myself. I am telling him my life story and how my love of watches started, kind of preparing him for...
Snap!

My first entry into watch collecting was a sea master! Great watch to start with, I remember being 25 at a work event and a senior partner said nice watch! Great starting piece, but I think due to social media Rolex is what youngsters desire!!
Thanks!

Iām hoping the AD pulls through on a 6119R. If not I was thinking to visit the Lange AD. Any recommendations on a dress watch, around the same budget Ā£25-Ā£27k?
This is Nice!
By: johnhiggins1960 : April 3rd, 2022-21:16
The shape is nice, Iāll see what we manage to get. Problem is I have my heart set on the 6119R, hoping it all works outs This wouldnāt be my first Patek, slowly Iāve managed to collect a few. I donāt have a brown strap dress watch with a white face, not s...
5396R is lovely!
By: johnhiggins1960 : April 4th, 2022-10:06
Just the price is a bit higher then I wanted to pay. I do really like the 5212, itās meant to be very difficult to get. Fingers crossed!
Maybe those days will come back?
By: johnhiggins1960 : April 3rd, 2022-21:40
I remember summer 2020 my AD had a platinum Daytona availableā¦ I remember saying ah next year!
None are as cool as the discontinued white dialā¦
By: oyster case : April 3rd, 2022-17:36
Of course, the white doesnāt have that show off factor. But, with white you can just wear it with some Ralph Lauren, itās where Rolex got the colour palet from after all. ...
By: Revilo : April 3rd, 2022-20:53
The hour markers are incorrect.
By: Revilo : April 4th, 2022-16:52
Yes, my apologies, I did not realize that a double baton version in white existed previously. This makes yours very special indeed. Thank you and sorry for the late response!
How so?
