Ladies Complications: 4947R ?
I want to buy my wife a watch for her birthday. I have looked at AP and rejected their ladies models. Same with Rolex.
Been thinking about Patek. I have zero interest in a quartz watch and don't want to get her any of their sports models either. What do people think of this reference. I have recently looked at a very similar watch (the 4948) and really liked it. What are people opinions on this? All advice appreciated. |

My wife didnt like it as much, we were just at the patek AD the other day. My wife is likely going to add a lad’s pilot to our list.
But Have you looked at the new 24’s. The gold with white dial is amazing in person |

Not a fan of the 24s but will look again. Arent they all quartz though - a big no no for me at this kind of money.

my wife select between new twenty4 and 4947r too, as we visited boutique last weekend, sales person said there is short wait list for 4947r about half year waiting. And wait time for 7300 is 2 months, in terms of volume he said for 4947r 7 -8 pieces per year , he somehow know for 7300 about 100 pieces to be allocated, which i didnt expect to hear. He suggest if consider value then go for 4947r, otherwise just go for what she really love. I decide to wait until sihh 2019 to wait for new release. Im in Beijing by the way. Hope it helps.

I still like the 4947 (and even the 4948) as my top choice for now. Unfortunately it looks like all Ladies watches retain little value so I guess I need to ignore that aspect. |

Logical but nope. Our entire married lives we have bought each other presents as surprises. Maybe not the most rational way but certainly one that we like. Come birthday, anniversary time etc there is always a surprise in store and to me there is a lot of amenity value in opening a present box and not knowing whats inside. It not always expensive either - can be just a sweater!
Taking her with me or getting her opinion makes it just "shopping". |
