Patek Philippe

I've been watching the market of watches closely and one I've become fond of is the 5036. Initially I discovered the 5035, and then later really like the 5036 for the addition of the power reserve indicator and moonphase complication. I often see these wa...

I prefer the 5146. It just does the things a little better. The Arabics balance the date out a little. ...

...especially in black dial. I have considered getting one many years (like 15/16) ago, but went for the 5146/1G-010 instead. Yeah, buy what you like and makes you happy. I am not into coloured gold, but some prefer them. I feel the manufacturers would ma... 

thanks for the input!!
