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 normal watches, it's not until you see the slide that you realize it's a minute repeater!  I'd say...  Time to add a simple looking repeater to your collection!

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 may be a small percentage of the watch itself, relatively.

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
