What would be your ideal 3-5 Patek collection?
If you had a watchbox that had enough slots for 3-5 watches, Which 3-5 Patek references do you want in that box? 3 or 5. Some people might be content with 3. 5 feels optimal for me as I wont wear anymore than that. It doesnt matter what you currently have in your collection, but more of where you want it to be. I was thinking about this over thr past few nights and curious what others are thinking
I’ll start... this would be my ideal collection just for me. 5711r - for the days where its all about fun and sun, just to add a pep to my step. 5712a/r -this dial just continues to mesmerize me. I find myself staring at it. 5170g - i lust after this watch, one day maybe when the market softens. 5320G - when i tried this on, fell in love with this watch but not at msrp. This is up there with the 5170g for me. 5131P (but on a strap) - just something special I realized im not really into AC, PC etc. its nice just not for me. Maybe my taste will evolve as i mature Good morning! Whats yours? |

5196P - ultimate dress PP
5712/1A - ultimate daily SS on bracelet 5164A - ultimate daily SS on rubber and as close to a PP tough watch as you can get 5370P - grail watch for me, has so much going for it 5270R - PCC is a classic and ads something timeless in a non-white metal |

57121a
5170p 59801r 5740 5711w This is stuff that likely fits 5270p, 5968 for stuff that doesn’t (not sure if 5980 would fit me) 5370p if dreaming is allowed |

If 3 - just one Calatrava, Nautilus, and Aquanaut each:
- 3998P - 5711/1A - 5165A or 5167A (5968A if my wrist was larger) If 5 - I would likely add some vintage pieces: - 3417, 3466, or 3483 - 3700 |

5711/1R - Perfect wedding and sports watch
5980/1R - Casual day off watch 5164R - Travel + casual 5990/1A - Ultimate travel for me 5740G - Just makes me drool. I can imagine the weight and the blue just smiling at me 24/7. All nautis and an aqua. This nauti-bug has taken me over. I'll have 3 of these watches before end of Q2. Not sure when I'll ever see the light of the 2 others. |
