Adding to the collection
Looking for inspiration for my next Patek (in or out of current production) - any thoughts for a complimentary timepiece from Patek under 100k? Current collection below.

5172
A manual chrono is just classic and I love the mix of old and new on the 5172
The only reason I don't have one is I just never like watches on straps, I fear if I get it I wont wear it but wont want to sell it. I don't know why but I just like watches on bracelets more.

Good thought. I can relate to you though - wear sport watches mostly on bracelet or rubber. The 5212a makes a regular appearance but the 6119r is a rare wear.

5320. Either dial. Both under 100 and would fit in well
