Patek Philippe

Hi guys whenever in dilemma I turn to this forum for advice, as I know I would get the best and most experienced one. Since I’m still new to this. So I have the JLC duometre that I’m not really wearing a lot. Somehow finding it big for my wrist now. The s...  

The 5396. It has a great size, the moon is not as spectacular then on your JLC though. However, your watch is classy but a bit more "modern" then 5396, so this could favor the 5205 for you. But in terms of size, i guess you will like the 5396. The version... 

I am also not a real JLC watch man. U have small wrists i guess, so here are experts who can help u to find a Pattek who fits on your wrist. Pattek is also not my thing, but say Ulysse Nardin and i am over the moon. And see that F.P. Journe chronometer in... 

You need to go to an AD and try both if possible. The 5205 (40mm) wears thicker and comes w a pin buckle. The annual calendar layout is more legible as well. The 5396 (38.5mm) is a touch thinner and smaller and comes w a deployant buckle. Both should be t... 

Other Pateks in the collection? 5205 is a great modern AC, but I wouldn’t give up a Duometre for it. It is a stunning and innovative watch.

As the others said, if you are not wearing it - then why not change to something you are happy with. But I certainly do not subscribe to the two words advice "Patek and Rolex". I think that is an overly narrow and simplistic point of view. The watch world... 

It wears beautifully, probably one of my smallest watches. I find it wears like my daytona 116518. You won't go wrong. That being said , I think the duo is a little more visually interesting. Good luck!

The duometre is a high-class work of art, but I understand your point about not wearing it (I've had the same issue in the past with watches that I perceived as big/top-heavy for me). One thought is to put the duometre away for one month. If you don't thi... 

Found this photograph and wanted opinions if these are too similar ? I have the white gold one. As mentioned above was looking to trade my JLC. ...  

very different !

Have you considered the Patek 3940 Perpetual Calendar? At 36mm it might be a perfect fit. There are usually an abundant supply of excellent examples in the secondary market.
