It's a very nice project to consider.
I'll not paraphrase what Butt said but I think the same. I believe the solution is to handle them both while thinking about how you would experience them, practically, during your day time, at work, on week-ends, etc...
Patek's chronographs are really something and I love the 5172 especially in blue. However, as it's manual you'll have to think about winding it everyday or if it's just a week-end watch for instance. The movement is a little marvel to look at.
The 5205 is very practical on that matter, with the date, etc... And it also has a more classical look. The green version is very nice looking if you think you can also like it on the long run, on a regular basis on your wrist.
