So I would appreciate some wisdom.......

I found this forum as I am an avid Patek wearer/collector; I have a Calatrava, Aquanaut, Nautilus and a Grand Complication now. As much as I love these watches, I feel I have finished the Patek collection and I do not know of any other Patek I really need to add.

What I have developed a yearning for is to add a Rolex as my fifth mega watch, and then I ought to be very happy. My instinct is I would like something gold, and - if I may say so - a little blingy. The Patek watches are all relatively small and low-key and I certainly have no gold at all.

With that in mind, and given I really know nothing of note about the Rolex range (I did have a vintage Datejust once but that was a very simple albeit elegant watch) any recommendations? Budget I guess - in GBP - would be up to say £30,000 or so.

Grateful for any ideas/pointers.

Perhaps the 116618ln? I love my yellow gold sub. For even more flash you could get the blue dial/bezel variant.

That is also an excellent option!

I can’t belive I forgot that one! I can’t wait to see it in the flesh. I hope they make more rose gold options (sub).

Rose Gold GMT is certainly a good choice given what seems to be your taste. I say go for that. Otherwise, a precious metals Daytona is always a great choice as well.

Theres a lot of BLING right here. Anything gold is a winner.

Great collection thus far Henry,,,,
Best of luck with your future incoming,,,,

I do not like the new GMT RB RH at all. I think the 116618LB is an excellent choice, or the DD40 YG. Good luck!
