Patek Philippe

PP Newbie Advice / thoughts, please.

 

I love the Travel Time 5134, likely in P variant. They were only made for 5 years and the P is obviously the rarest. However, I do wonder whether the 215 movement, now in its fifth decade, and described as PP’s “bread and butter”, and as featured in their entry Calatrava models rather limits potential appreciation?

I also like the 6000, likely in WG - P’s are hens teeth (and not just because it’s an easy reference to remember!). The 240 movement is automatic and fills up the display back better. Although a more modern watch it post dates the Geneva Seal that’s on the 5134. Not sure how important that is. 

Finally, the 5035 Annual Calendar WG or P.  These seem to be considered a more desirable complication. However there are also loads of them. Does the relative rarity of the 5134P “trump” the more “complicated” Annual Calendar of the more abundant 5035?

Appreciate nobody has a crystal ball, but insight or views from those lucky enough to have some experience under the belt would be greatly appreciated. 

With thanks!
