Almost ready to get my feet wet

Hello Patek Fans,

         I have been contemplating for some times now on my first Patek. Every time I enter my AD the first question out of his mouth is," are you ready for that Patek?' we laugh and joke about it all the time. I personally do not buy watches for investment purposes, that's what 401k is for. I see it and hear it all the time on how well a Patek retain its value and how much it went on the auction market. That is not my forte. I buy watches for the simple fact that I love it and that I want it. I have been crazy for mechanical and automatic movements for as long as I can remember ( sorry quartz ).  My choice to plunge into are 5110,5130,or the 5070 . These are my price range . What do you of it?

       Now I have to admit I have been serching , even though I think it is in vain, for MY HOLY GRAIL  the ref.5959, equipped with the thinnest column-wheel split-second chronograph ever made. And I am a big chronograph fan. Does anyone know anything about this watch? Have anyone seen it? or held it ? Or does anyone own this watch and wants to give'em to me ( silly smile) ?  And about what price range are we talking about, I know this will be a little over my price range, but I am willing to sell my wife for it........Just Kiddin!!! but seriously would love to know.

                                                                                                               Thank You All,
