Patek 5119r or 5296r. Please help...
Need help making decision between the two. The 5119 is classic and I see as a watch for special ocassions or formal events. The 5296r I see as weekend watch, more for every day. Which of the two would hold its value over time? Personal experiences with either appreciated. Thanks

Same producer, two different watches.
Which one you choose is purely a matter of taste so just take the one you like more. It sounds that you have bought the marketing... These are not investment watches (if there are some) but simply nice first class watches for enjoyable wearing for the dec...
Good idea?
I'm considering trading in a Rolex Gold Presidential from 2006 in mint condition. Worth the swap.?
If you like Patek more,
then it's a good idea. The value of the watches seems to be about the same. Best, Kari
Must get both
Both are very different and must have for collection. 5296R much better for everyday use because it is automatic with date function.
Which 5296R ?
The sector dialled 5296R is mroe versatile and doesn't look too out of place with casual clothes. The 5119 or non-sector 5296 are strictly formal watches. I would discount the 5296R non-sector immediately as I personally feel the case is too flat. You'd b...
5296R
I have the sector and love it. Adds another dimension to the watch. I keep looking and admiring this piece.
Consider the strap color...
One more point to consider is the strap color. I find that my 5119r looks best with a black strap to match the roman numerals on the dial, while the 5296r looks better to me on a brown strap to complement the rose gold stick markers on the dial. Ron
