What a spectacular and diverse selection of timepieces in this thread! Let me add one entry for me and one for my girlfriend as well (veeery different, but both equally loved! :-)
Mr. 5131/1P, an (in-catalog) Rare Handcraft that I bought in 2017 (was part of Patek's catalog from 2017-2021)
Mrs. 5269/200R, acquired by my girlfriend last Christmas (the first quartz travel time reference offered by Patek) 
These are my go to complications
Breguet GMT Bremont MBIII De Bethune DB25 Starry Varius GMT Moser Endeavour Dual Time Tourbillon Reverso Grande GMT Reverso Duoface Tribute Patek Worldtime Patek Calatrava Pilot Rolex GMTII Voutilainen GMT-6 ...
The Voutilainen is hard to beat.
Below the radar and easy to slip by unnoticed. The DeBethune is a sight to see though, I agree.
I like things simple
For class and elegance, LF Gallet Traveler. For some sportiness then the Aquanaut 5164a. Again I can’t post pictures because this damn iPhone app is buggy as hell. Best Gatsby
both excellent choices
I’ve heard people often say if they had to pick one watch the 5164 would be it. I personally love the LF too
To be honest
There was a time when the 5164a was trading under retail and less hyped up. During those days it was a favorite of mine. These days no. Simply because you can’t travel freely with a 5164a without getting scrutinized at best and robbed/harmed at the very w...
The LF is conversation starter…
…such unique/uncommon piece. I’ve never seen one in the wild.

It's a a relatively new Ladies model, it came with the 2021 announcements and it's indeed totally gorgeous in person....I just found some pictures where my retailer and I for fun were also trying it on, but no, it definitely looks better on ladies! :-))

Yes, dearest Fab . . . we know it’s you.
The yellow. So stylish in the yellow. I didn’t even need to look at the face. You are “stylin’ and profilin’!”
Something simple
Like to stick to something simple, this is both my most travelled & most commented up watch. Swatch skin yellow jelly, over 20 years old & still going strong. Cheers JML ...
Very wearable and Impressive reliability…
…And you never have to worry about getting mugged 😀
Exactly!
The plastic will fail at some point, or I'll lose it. I'll be disappointed - but you can just go and grab another.
The 5164 is my favorite for travel.
I prefer it so much that I no longer own any other GMT watches. ...
such an instant classic, and so understated. I’ve honestly never heard anything negative about the 5164…
…it’s universally loved. I’ve been torn between this and meteorite Pepsi
Great taste! Such variety…
The UN is so functional with all the indicators. That GShock is super handsome too. How do you like the Blancpain, thought about picking one up to use as a morning alarm.
