$50k-ish PP, which one to go?
Visited an AD today, tried few pieces on, can't decide at this moment. Any opinion? Pros and cons? Suggestions? Thank you very much!

Find a 5990. A bit more than budget but worth it.
HOWEVER, the 5980 blue dial is quite nice as well |

I'd get an annual calendar maybe, something dressy on a strap based on what you already have.

I agree with a few of the others, go with an annual calendar...5205G or R. Maybe even a 5396G or R?

You have 4 great dark dial watches. I'd take a look at the 5205R-001 to add a white dial dress watch. All the 5205 dials are great though.

I'd get the 5726 on bracelet like your pic, very useful complication AC, plus moonphase, something basically useless but that I love on Patek, the 5980 is nice except for the chrono window, much nicer when it is 1 tone with the dial. The problem with chronos is that you never use the function, so it's basically useless, except if you have a job or hobby that you need it for, but I guess that's quite rare.
I got the 5712 personnally, and I love it... And if you go for dressy definitely a 5205G, black dial is just superb, but I'm not into dress watches myself though I find them beautiful... |

I LOVE the two tone 5980 to me it's one of the best looking patek and not so popular too wonder why no one really discuss about it

Any dressy Annual Calendar will do, there is the classic Calatrava look of the 5396, the original look of the first AC 5146 (direct descendent) or the modern look of the 5205.
Here is my 5205R-010 image.jpg

I'd go 5726. One of my real favorites. If not that then I would go 5205. It seems like you are a bracelet man and as a result I think 5726 wins hands down. Love the AC complications and the elegant lay out of the dial. No wrong choices here! Good luck and have fun.

5205 only for dressy situation and 5726 would use for both formal and informal situation such as sport or working in the office. hence if you can buy only one AC, then without doubt will be 5026. however, 5205 is a very nice dress watch.

Well you got two pics of the 5980 so maybe subliminally that's what you really want. I think a 5205 or 5712R would be good choices.
