Ready to pull the trigger....
I'm finally here! Something hit me today and I'm ready to take the Patek plunge. I've owned watches from almost every major brand, and some smaller ones....have never owned a Patek. With the recent birth of my son, the marketing has played its role....
....but I really seem more at ease and setteled and refined in my collecting ideals and objectives.
So here is what i've narrowed it down to:
5134
5053
5109
A questions for my more knowledgeable Patek friends, is the only current Calatrava with the 240PS movement the 6000?
I LOVE the way Patek does applied Breguet numerals. I love the officers case and hinged caseback of the 5053. Having a date on my watch holds some importance but the 5053 doesn't really call for it. The Travel Time is a versitile Patek, more contempory and sporty, yet still refined in the simple Patek way. Don't understand the need for the 24hr dial. I do enjoy manual wind watches.
I appreciate your insight into which watch (movement) is a better "first" choice from Patek. 215 or 315? Manual or Automatic?
Thank you my friend!
Best regards,
