Patek Philippe

There's a great variety of models here! Enjoy and have a nice week-end! A/ MODELS WITH A SECOND HOUR HAND 1/ "REGULAR" MODELS (=excluding Pilote style, Aquanaut & Nautilus lines and Grand Master Chime) Ref. 2597 with 35.5mm case & cal. 27 AM 400 (introduc...  

the first one is the best!

But the pt 5134 appeals to me too (and isn't completely out of reach)...

The first one is the only one I’d own. 😉

But I also like the 5134P.

Pretty please?

but completely out of reach. I personally also like the 5134P.

But the 5134P also appeals to me.

Difficult choice here.. 2597 aesthetics is great but it lacks a 24hr indicator for the local time which isn’t practical for a travel watch. And I don’t like the dial having 2 potholes for day nite indicators.. so that rules out most of the references pres... 

It seems to solve most of the issues you are raising: not too large, no potholes, 24h indicator. I personally like it, in particular in the versions without numerals.

numerals look outsized.. and with indices, it’s better but maybe the bezels too thick or perhaps the pushers to the left and the crown guard to the right makes the round watch look oval.. can’t put my finger on it

This case may be a bit odd, but I personally like it and find it quite close to the one of the world timer ref. 5110.

For me, in many ways the most appealing is the supremely practical and beautiful (in person), 5326G annual calendar travel time watch. Also, very practical and highly complex is the 5990 1/A travel time with fly back chronograph. Best, Patekova

are certainly very interesting and attractive. But I think I would personally choose the simpler and smaller 5134 in a version without numerals. Thanks for the kind words. Best, Emmanuel

Thank you for a great post with a few, for me at least, not known references Best Hans

I'm glad if this thread was helpful. Best, Emmanuel
