Well said. Durability is not a Patek strongsuit, as is their service times. Rolex's SkyD has been flawless in operation and durability. Also remember with a Rolex you're not stuck with old school pushers, plus the Rolex can be set fwd or backward in time.
If you need a formal / dress watch for light wear on occasions, a Patek is ok. Simply wish Patek would either go full Breguet or not. Also to have black dials where the date/etc windows also has black background. Small yet important styling seems to be amiss with many modern Pateks. Perhaps the next designer will be more detail oriented.
