Patek Philippe

I am writing to all fellow purists for some friendly advice for a friend. This friend loves collecting Patek watches and has asked my advice for his next purchase. His only rules are it must be a white metal and it must be Patek. I have included his current collection and if you can reply with what reference should be next and why.

Current Collection

5146P - 5135P - 5140G - 5130P - 5101P - 5102G - ?

 

Humbly

a 5450 (if he is a high-tech guy)

or

a 5180 (if he appreciates all those fine arts)

or

a 5207 (if he wants a true Patek grand complication)

 

5004P, 5959P, or even the 5002G., since he already has the 5101P and 5102G(I presume)

Anything less is a retrograde step.

VERY well said. I like the inclusion of the complication into the statement

It truly represents the essence of high horology.

This would complete your friend's amazing collection of Patek complications.

Platinum, of course...
5960, or 5070 P....
His bases seem pretty well covered, yet!
LOL
Best.

I had recommended to him the 5002P but he didn't want to make that big a jump yet so he went with 5102G. I have advised him that I would go with a repeater (5074-5016-)next or a chronograph (5004)as he does not have any of these complications yet.

I will let you know the next decision...

Thank you all for the input

...one - a classic chrono (5070, 3970, 5970 or possibly 5004)...

..two - the first of the contemporary chrono line (5960)

...three (my recommendation) - step to the classics and enjoy simplicity...5196.  Plain and Elegant.

what about the complicated 5145g or 5146p both very elegant and precise watches.

the 5120 is nice, ultra thin automatic, very simple but elegant design. Or 5196P with Breguet numerals, two tone dial. For a complication, I like the 5159. easy to read, elegant.

Sir, your collection seriously requires a chronograph as what you are talking about is either calendars or that awesome tourbillion, you badly need a chronograph and the best option is no other than the new launched 5070P in platinum, the dial is a true definition of seduction,..

 

p.s;  celestial and ten day tourbillion. . . . Wow!
