The standard version may not be current but they are readily available at amazing prices new or used. Now I'm seriously thinking again about the moonphase version in pink gold and maybe the standard version as well.

How big is your wrist? That looks great!

Could you stretch to a Gondolo in gold and Cartier in steel which would be a nice combination.

Here are some pictures of my gondolo, love the fitted movement as well as the immaculate applied gold markers. Very low profile on the wrist due to the curved slim case but significant presence on the wrist with large case size.

Cartier Tank or JLC Reverso is the way to go.

The tank is living off that 100 year old history and although has some artistic evolution, it has not matured from its basic movement.

Whereas the Patek has a dramatic case shape, mesmerizing dial, and an amazing movement finish.

Completely agree with this - the Patek is in a completely different league. The dedicated movement is sublime.
