More value on the long run
is pure speculation. If somebody would know that a watch has a high value in the future, then this value would be discounted to NPV already now.
I guess neither 5040 or 5100 is highly demanded with premium prices at the moment. This means that it's unlikely that either or would make you rich. To certain degree I think that too many of us are victims of the "future high value marketing" of Patek. This is very cleverly made and we should see through the marketing and focus on watches we love.
Good luck! Kari
5040r or 5100j
I currently have a 5040 rose in my collection and am considering a trade for a 5100J with another collector. Those that have been involved in watch collecting for some time would you make the trade of a 5040r for a 5100j? I like them both but because I ha...
"Don't compare apples with oranges"
These two watches are totally different and I don't think you can compare those with each others. If I should speculate, probably 5100 will keep its value better because it's rarer. However, Patek can start to use the same movement for a new reference so ...
Very good Advice Kari
The road to speculation doesn't lead to happiness , certainly didn't in my case at least. Regards Darma This message has been edited by darma on 2012-01-08 22:52:23 This message has been edited by darma on 2012-01-08 22:52:52
5040 vs. 5100 apples and oranges
Thanks, Kari and that is basically my thinking as well. I like them both and am drawn to the tonneau or rectangular shapes. I already have another perpetual and 5134 and aquanaut and nautilus in my patek collection. I like them both but appreciate the leg...

5100j is rarer
but I like them both so I would go for both,(and maybe not tell my wife?, no that won,t work)
5100j
I have a yellow gold with black dial aquanuat that I always considered rare but now may trade that instead with a lot more money of course for the 5100 and keep the 5040. I like the aquanaut but do feel a little strange with the yellow gold when I am wear...
5100 !
I consider the 5100 as one of the most beautiful watch ever made in a rectangular shape (with the 5101, but it is another budget !). As I less appreciate the tonneau shape, I would of course make this trade. But (there is a "but"), the yellow gold version...
