A very warm welcome here!
The 5134 would definitely be my pick of the 3 as it is a useful complication with a manual movement which I personally prefer to an automatic movement. But if you do want a watch with an automatic movement, you might want to consider the 5054 which to me is terribly undervalued. The Nautilus 5712 with a similar movements sells for three time more and is in steel!

PP Newbie Advice / thoughts, please.
Hi folks. Virgin PP buyer looking for opinions, please! These are in the order I like, rather than what might be the better investment; All are broadly similar in price at circa 15-20k currently I love the Travel Time 5134, likely in P variant. They were ...
Welcome to our forum, and congrats in advance on your first Patek purchase! Three elegant and classic timepieces.
Among these references that made your shortlist, Iāll probably pick the 6000G. Itās a simpler but more modern version, that I find even more interesting at a time when the whole Calatrava line is being ārejuvenatedā. But most of all, buy what you personal...
Thanks for the feedback
Yes, good advice. If I like it then someone else will! Of these 3, the 5134 appeals the most for my taste.
Welcome here!
I believe a very first step is to think about which complications you "need". I once had a GMT and found it utterly useless as I am comfortable doing some basic maths when travelling. From your fine selection, would vouch for the 5035. It also came with s...
Thanks for your thoughts
Hi and thanks for your thoughts! In reality I donāt āneedā any complications. Donāt even need a watch. Iām not sure any of us do if we have a phone! But of all the complications, travel time would be the least un-useful..!!

Thank you!
Hi and thanks for the welcome! I have to say I agree entirely re the 5054 being undervalued. I appreciate the complications and the gorgeous hinged display back and the movement but itās not really a watch Iād wear, just not my taste I guess. The 5134, ie...
Just buy the one you like the most and forget monetary appreciation.
IMO these probably arenāt appreciating much anyhow. But if had to guess, Iād think the PT travel time has the best chance. Cal. 215 is a fine movement, though decades old. Wouldnāt dissuade me at all if I was after the 5134P. Cheers, John
Congratulations on venturing into your first PP.
As everyone said, since this is not a left brain purchase because value appreciation is not the objective here, then you should indeed buy what you like the most and feel you will wear most often. - I have been always interested in the 5035 because of the...
Pulled the trigger!
Many thanks to all whoāve so helpfully offered opinions on this. Itās much appreciated. Iāve decided to go with the piece that speaks to me the loudest in terms of what Iād use and enjoy aesthetically rather than trying to crystal ball gaze future values....
Thank you
Thanks, very excited and looking forward to what I imagine will be a slippery slope of ājust one moreā !!
Glad that you joined our Patek forum and a warm welcome to you !
It is an Interesting and fun decision you need to make ! IMO, pricing and functions aside, it comes down to the design that sings to you. The travel time has the cleanest dial, whereas the 6000 has a busy one and the annual calendar strikes a balance betw...
