2 Annual Calendars - An Overkill?
Dear All,
I guess this is another first world problem. I recently got a 5396G (breguet numerals). My AD also showed me a 5205 RG with a white / cream dial during the process and I fell in love with it. I don't have a RG piece, while I am not sure whether I want to have 2 annual calendars. I know it is all very subjective at the very end but what do you think? (I might probably buy it anyways as long as I don't face a crazy resistance from my wife :thumbsup ) |

For me, yes. Why not look at chronographs, perp calendars, worldtimers or some other complication.

If you like it go for it.
I once thought of vertically collecting Patek ACs. 5205R, 5146J and 5396G will make a great Trio

Both beautiful pieces but I would put my money into a different model and complication

The question for you is - what other watch would you consider in the price range of the 5205R? Would you enjoy the alternative watch as much? |

To your original question, I personally wouldn't want 2 of the same complication, but if it appeals to you then no good reason not to. |

Rose gold black dial and 5146 is white gold.... I also have a 5167 and 5711 and FPJ all 3 handlers....is more than 1 too many? Just buy what you like and don't over analyse....if it brings a smile then it should be on the wrist

I really don't see the problem, I have 3 3 handers and am getting soon two more, the only watch I will have with complications will be a Daytona and the 5712, I wanted to start getting different complications but then I understood when I got the 5726 that I didn't really need them, so I am going the "cheap" route, good looking but simple watches, will not have huge service bills for complications which I don't really use or need, but I can understand the appeal and don't see the problem if you have 2 AC's or more

You will really enjoy the Patek RG model. They do RG better than all.

I only have one PP annual calendar. A second one that is different from the first would definitely not stop me. I like only having to set the date once a year.
