Patek Philippe

Considering my first PP, a 3923 J.  Other than being small, as is my wrist, any thoughts?

..... there is also 5096J. slightly larger but with sapphire back.

If you dig deeper, there is also 3796 made for the Japanese market , only 100 pieces in both J and G.

For most it may be small, but I like it the way it is - very classic.

My favourite version is the 3923 "white metal" with grey dial, LE (50) for Japan.
Of course nothing is wrong with J, it´s just a matter of personal taste

The sapphire back certainly adds to the watch as well as to the price.  I saw this in the pre-owned display of a jewelry store and the classic appearance and price caught my eye.  It seems like an iconic piece in some ways.

and it's a rarer find. It has a screwed back and is large (around 34mm). It is not a limited production but the period was very short (only for a year or so, AFAIK), and it's only produced in yellow gold.

Happy hunting!

I decided to get the 3923, and I love it!  Yellow gold with silver dial, understated.  Thanks for the ideas, I enjoyed looking up your suggestions.  They are all beautiful

i own a 3923 and i have a review on youtube. perhaps it will help you. i know i'm biased but i think its a beautiful watch
