My first complicated Patek
I'm so excited that I got my first complicated Patek today. I've debated for quite some time between a few models, and had narrowed it down to the 5235G, 5070G, or 5960P-016. The other challenge was actually finding the watches, as two of them are discontinued and the 5235G is not exactly a dime a dozen
 I would gladly own all three, but unfortunately my wallet disagrees, so thus the journey to narrow it down to one. Very difficult decision as each watch is unique and grail worthy in their own rights, but in the end the complications, stunning black dial, and platinum won out. Big thanks to this great forum and members for all their support throughout this journey, and below are some quick shots of my 5960

Congratulations, James
It's a wonderful watch -- IMHO, much more practical than a perpetual hand winding -- you've got a huge discount compared to 5270, for instance, and just need to adjust the date once a year..... Not mentioning collectability here, just the practical side ....  best |
