Patek Philippe

MY FIRST PATEK! :)... 5070

 

Hi there,

I've been thinking for a long time what would be the ideal reference to get as my first Patek watch...
I'm a great fan of AP's and Vintage Rolex's but really wanted to a get a nice Patek... and with so many choices it was confusing...

I wanted a watch that was not too classic looking and the new 5936 WG & 5205 (grey dial) seemed the favourite contenders. I was also considering the 5712 WG and the 5960P though a lot more expensive.

But after much thought, I decided in the end to go with the 5070 WG!

I thought if Im getting a Patek, I would like it to hold its value and I thought the 5070 would be a good choice. I also like the large case size of this watch and its design can go great with suits or semi casual attire.

Since its been discontinued for some time i needed to find a pre-owned one but wanted a sealed new piece. So I flew down yesterday to the Parma Fair in Italy and found one gorgeous new piece!! And am really happy with my ultimate choice... hope you like the pics!

best

Pateks are not made to keep them in that plastic bag ! A first Patek or a last Patek, the 5070 is always a top Patek

Looks like you know how to make a spalsh

this is also on my target list, one of the Patek which shows decent appreciation over the years and good looking at the same time. The yellow, white and rose gold all have different characters.

the hunt

Brilliant Choice
