New Patek Philippe, but which one?
I am hoping to get a new Patek in the next month.
![]() ![]() The choices that I have gone for are two from the Calatrava and one from the Gondolo range. All are manual wind and imo simple but classic Patek's. See what you think and make a choice! ![]() 1) 5124G (Gondolo) 2) 5196g ( Calatrava) 3) 5196R (Calatrava) Regards Tony

I like the hue of the pink/rose/red gold that Patek uses. Best of luck in your decision making process. They all look fantastic.

Like JJ, I also don't usually go for square watches. But I'd make an exception here. That top watch is exquisite. And wears well on your wrist with that strap especially.

Tony, I would take the Gondolo
It's so different compared with all those round watches. If it would be the first and only I would not take it but since you have already quite some stunning watches I think the Gondolo would be a good choice

Thank you to evryone who has answered so far.
Would it make a difference if one (5124) had a sapphire back over the 5196 solid back? Thank you Bruno, for your nice comments. I have sent you a PM.

5196 R or G ? Well, in that case the G. Don't ask me why, somethimes I prefer R, other times G and somethimes even J but for this watch I would pick the G talking about the 5070 I would sy R and for the 5970 I would pick J, it really depends on the model

I have always been enamored of rectangular wristwatches so the Gondolo 5124G gets my vote.
![]() The rectangular watch that intrigues me at the moment is the yet to be released ETERNA Madison Spherodrive. ![]() I tried JLC Reverso but did not like the way they fit my wrist. ![]() Good luck on your quest for a Patek. ![]() |

did you consider the 5124J ?
It's a pitty it has not the Breguet numbers but I'm not a fan of salmon dials just a picture from the net ... http://www.watchexpo.com/Ebay/patek5124jrjv1.JPG

Its a nice looking watch, but I just prefer W/G and the dial for me is something very different.

U may wish to consider the 5296 which has a clear case (can see the GOLD counter-weight) and is self-winding with DATE and 38mm
5196 has a rich history to the series though..... |

But maybe some good deal (crisis deals ![]() The dial is so amazing , love the seconds at 6 o'clock and the Breguet numbers make it look perfect (picture found on the net, don't know the owner) ![]() if they would make this in 41 mm , I would have a problem ;-) wouldn't know what to sell but I would definitely start saving :-) With 38 mm, it still is a gorgeous watch but to small for my wrist

That is an excellent choice for a Patek. But in this case,I am looking at getting a manual wind watch. I too like the 5196P and nearly got a preowned one, but I lost it through hesitating for tooooo long.

I personally like the now-defunct two tone platinum/rose gold version of the Gondolo. There are still some available at dealers, probably at a discount
