I am happy with my 5960
At first I was not very impressed with this watch when I first saw it on the Internet. However when I tried it on at my AD I had a very different impression. I really enjoy wearing it even on the bracelet (though I have also ordered a strap for it). Of course it always come down to personal preference
Good luck

Patek Philippe Suggestions Please !
After many years of deliberation, I am finally thinking of buying patek philippe as a 41st Birthday present for myself. I have narrowed it to 4 choices. To be honest 3 choices (see last pic). Please advice me as to which one I should go for and why. Any A...
AD sugggests otherwise
Thanks for your reply. The AD just told me that the stainless steel 5960 is not hugely popular and not selling much here in Singapore. He suggested I go for the more classical ones. I really like the 5147 but not sure if it looks too feminine.
Collectible first interesting second [nt]
I would definitely like to get one that will hopefully be sought after in yrs to come. I know is hard to say these things in yrs to come by.. but i am not too sure about patek auction history etc.
Personal opinion
For your first PP go for something you love. You are unlikely ever to part with it, except perhaps to a loved one. Don\'t prioritise collectibility on this one. I got a 5146p and I love it, because it was my first..
You are you and I am I...
I would, without zero hesitation, take 5960/1A. It's a wonderful watch and good price taking into account the complications. Who on earth cares if it is popular or not! However, I would place a strap to 5960/1A and save the bracelet for the future in case...
If annual calendar, get the ...
5960 or the 20th year annual calendar that came out this year Both will be sought after in the future IMO
Now you have got an expert opinion: 6000 RG!
Hello there, it seems people did not get your taste. I can see you narrowed it actually down to the 5146 J, 6000 RG and the UEBER-cool 5147 G. I would struggle between the 5147 G and the lovely 6000 RG, that looks best on your wrist. If money is not an ob...
Although I like 5960A, I think the 5147 looks like a good option...
and "deal" with the precious metal and bonus diamonds vs SS. The 6000R also looks good. If you think collectible, then SS Patek and the less popular 5960 may be a good contra play. Rgds Raymond

Congratulations for your choice ram
and welcome on our Patek forum as I see it is the first time you post here. Well, I think that many of our members have quite summed-up the issue. It will finally come to your own taste. Though you didn't say what you're looking for, we feel from your sel...
Thanks every one for your thoughtful and thought provoking comments !! Please help narrow
COUNT DE MONET has more or less summed my taste precisely. Being my first Patek I wanted to go for the classic looks and in either one of the 3 gold versions(i.e RG, YG, WG). Initially my heart was on the 6000G for its classic looks and stunning dial. How...
IMO, 20th anniversary 5936 is collectible because ...
it is an anniversary version and contains Brequet numerals which are very lovely. At the end, balancing your taste vs collectibility is important to arrive at your choice. Good luck!
If i am not to late to advise you.
The 6000r would fit nicely for a 1st Patek. But if you will only have one Patek. Then get the one with complications like a 5146g and if you like bling then go for it 5147g. Even with bling its masculine enough my opinion. Geross.
5146g vs 5147g
Thanks a lot to all for your advice. Does any one have any insight into the 5147g? How long has it been under production? or any good review on it?. i searched but have not found anything useful.
5147 White vs 5146 yellow gold
Does yellow gold / RG watches appreciate more in terms of value over time compared to WG?. Replies appreciated.
My feelings are
that RG is more dressy That YG is old fashionned That WG is more daily wearable. From my European point of view. Nice to hear from you and others. Cheers, Patrickh
More yellow gold / rose gold in Auction
I see a lot of YG an RG in auction. Just wondered whether WG fetches that kind of price. I like to RG 6000R calatrava for its simplicity and appeal. Love the 5147 WG for its finishing and the fact that it is an annual calendar. Comments please. I also saw...
Follow your "Love for 5147WG"
You got your answer. A great elegant choice and it is you who will wear it on wrist, not all of us here. Warm regards, patrickh

Brexit sadness------Big spend day tomorrow !
Tomorrow, I am finallly going to make my purchase. Its 6000RG vs 5146RG ivory dial. Still undecided will make my decision tomorrow morning. any final comments, views?
If i were to advise you , go for the chrono.
2nd would be the 5147g diamond bezel. 3rd would be 5146j. 4th the 6000g calatrava. My opinion , my choices , my advise. Geross.
