Rose golds

Hi all

I’m thinking of a rose gold watch and am drawn to Patek - 5146R, 5396R or the 5205R.

Any owners of these here and what’s your experience of them? Any pictures would be great.

Also before I contact my nearest AD, are these readily available pieces or hard to get? I did buy a 5711 off them a few years back when it was quite easy, but I’ve not dealt with them since. I’ve bought a lot of Rolex off another shop of theirs so am established as a customer of the group.

Many thanks.

You can’t got wrong with Patek. I originally had the black dial version of this but as much as I liked it I just didn’t love it. And then found out why. I saw this one and got it. The RG is awesome.

I have the 5146R and 5205G. The 5205G has a more modern and refined case and lug construction, with a concave bezel. The apertures are easier to read and the dial looks less busy. The 5146R has a deployant clasp though, while the 5205G comes with pin buckle.

The 5296R is also lovely but I chose the 5205 because of said reasons. Here are some shots. Good luck with your decision!

I have had my 5146r for over 2 years now. Still love wearing it as much as when I first bought it! Good luck with your decision.

5146R, 5396R and 5205R are not hard to get. Your AD will be delighted to sell any of those to you. Even if they don't have any of those in stock, they can get one for you very easily.

Apols I was referring to 5396R.

I love all the AC here but did not get the 5396 as I was going for the 5726, which has a very similar dial layout to the 5396.

Does that mean a discount is possible?
