Patek Philippe

What is your favorite “modern era” Patek Philippe? For me, without the slightest hesitation, it is the 5970… in any metal.

I personally consider the modern era to be approximately 1986 to today. Why do I feel that way? With the discontinuation of of 3448/3450 and 2499 (watches whose functions could not be quick set) and the introduction of 3940 and 3970 (both of which are qui...

It is always good to take a different way, rather than having everybody on the same " route ".

5320G Salmon dial

Beautiful watch with historical antecedent going back to the 1950s (2497 sweep seconds.and month/day windows at 12). And of course

I agree!

What an impressive collection... Variations of a masterpiece.

LOVE that image of your 5970 family!!

Oh la la, you are killing me!

Amazing piece....Of the modern era I would have to agree with you

In many ways the G is the most versatile. Casual to dress, a bit under the radar since white gold and silver dial. Goes with any strap.

Yes, I believe you’re right.

5950 …. Talk about an under the radar watch…. except to people “ in the know”. Incredible watch and beautiful. Total classic.

Your two 5970s are impressive!

That 5231 is amazing. I wish they put the map of the R in the G.

Oh, I personally like the G as it is!

Are you ill??? You are starting to prefer white metal watches??? :)))

Do you think I need to make an appointment with a doctor? 🙃

Yes, you should, I start to worry for you. :))))

Not a bad choice at all!

Thanks - cloisonné WTs are truly miniature works of art.

Another model I like and wasn't mentioned by anybody I think, is the regulator 5235.

It is always good to take a different way, rather than having everybody on the same " route ".

5110, 5100, 5070, 5970, 5960. My " 5 aces ".

PS: Platinum for all of them, except for the 5960, my favorite being the steel.

he he.... those are the last best from the family ;-)

You know my rule: " Only five Patek watches ". ;)

I recently met someone, who told me - he want to have only a 5 watch collection ;-)

And I guess you know him very well! Well, at least I do hope so. :))))

Can certainly understand why you feel that way. For me, 5100 is such an undervalued and under appreciated watch. Great watch and

Absolutely agree on the 5100. Still under the radar, which is not fair. But ssssshhhhh, let's keep it secret before all the sheep go for it!

I like the 5110 and 5070 very much too (but know them only on paper, though, as the 5231...)

Excellent references. Instant classics, for me.

5320 cream dial

I like that dial (and watch) a lot! Because the dial is lacquered it looks almost like an enamel dial.

There is no right answer here

Here’s a sneak peak of one…

Thank you for sharing especially 5004A!!!!!!!!

You’re most welcome Patekova

I really like the fonts used on 5004 👍

I agree

Those 3 watches are a great collection - from sport to dress - from time only to PCP. with no duplication of functions

What not to like about this duo. I would go with anyone of these two.

Thank you!

Hard to argue with 5970.

Thank you for your kind words. There are a lot of great Pateks

5970p works!

😊

Hi Patekova, your 5970 duo look so

Not my style, but would certainly be eye catching

Fully agree. 5970P is the piece that I always want to find to complete my Patek collection 🥲

I hope one day to see an image of yours😊

5960P for me, without a doubt 👍🏼 it's simply a very special, useful and beautiful reference

Certainly understandable to me why some prefer 3970 and 5270. Also that some would not like 5970 for the reasons you state. Thank you for sharing

My favorite at the moment is the

I have never owned one either but have had one on my wrist more than once. It is other worldly and charming. I can certainly appreciate why you like it so much.
