Patek Philippe

This is my maximum allowable range of complications. I know there are tourbillons, minute repeaters, resonances, split seconds etc…How complicated do you like? ...  

Hence I did not go to that PP route for chronographs…I try not to have too many watches 😜

5270 g (original without tachometer) or current P green dial, 5230p, and the 5196p... would be only watches I need plus a no date sub.... hmm..

You have the ultimate examples of what Patek does best - make perfect timekeeping machines. I love both of these.

Or she will keep nagging me to sell others, but very good to know. Thanks 🙏🏻

Chronographs look cool. But I never use the function. Perpetual calendars look really complex and rarely do they look "elegant" and mine are never set correctly (I'm embarrassed to admit). I do like minute repeaters though - the simple ones, look like nor... 

but the practical mind inside me will think about servicing/maintenance cost for highly complicated watches....like Lange's Category 6, "price upon request" and I heard it can run up to 5 digits....I am not ready to swallow that bill, although that cost m... 

Definitely have to keep these servicing and "holding" costs in mind. It's definitely very high.

I still like the 5070, and that's from over a decade ago! The 5270 and 5970 are still some of the most beautiful perpetual calendar chronographs out there!

perhaps PP will make 5470 in Black and Red or White and Blue someday

So glad you are loving your PCC!

I’m quite happy and contented now.

Perhaps a sports patek ie a nautilus, love the retro case and bracelet, the alternating brush and polish elevates the watch to another level Pateks are renown for the min repeaters but the lack if water resistance make is impractical - I would really worr... 

two suggestions though... - you could still downsize to a two hand PP with nearly invisible hands - and you could color up your watches ;-) ...  

I like basic 3 hands and up; basically all watches 😁

clued in ! PCC would be my maximum limit 😅. Plenty good enough ! Are you sure you will not go above this level ??🤣

However I’m a practical person, and I worry about 5 digit maintenance and service cost 😅

Best of what Patek do best. M. ...

I’m ok getting this at the lowest end of the spectrum for the value 🙌🏻

Your 5070P is just killing me too, just like your 5970G salmon OMG ! Together with the 5196P that makes a perfect trio!

But for now M. ...  

Actually 2 exteme...ly beautiful watches Very cool thread trying to select the ideal short PP collection. Actually a route that I am following since quite some years now and I am happy I made a good way already even if it is an endless process

I know your 3448 and 5970R are one of the best, this side of the extreme. I am also happy with what I have, not many watches will make me feel butterflies in my stomach nowadays...maybe it's time to wind down.
