Grail collection 3 or 4 pieces ??

Hi,
Now I am coming closer to the Patek aim. —>( I hope so )
On the one hand are 4 pieces from Patek nice on the other hand are this 3 pieces also also not bad.
Difference :
5170P and 5968A
vs
5370P

What would you do?

If you are going big, and you are with this collection, go with four. Beautiful watches.

I’d go with 3, because that includes the 5370.

Why have 4 when you can have 10.

I think the sweet spot for me is between 6 to 10.

3-5 I actually can get bored.

Pretty large and top heavy, too big for me but I love the complication. DS movement actually looks better IMHO.

The 4 piece collection is more complete and versatile than the 3 piece collection.

That’s very difficult, on the one hand you have a bigger watch with grand complication on the other hand you have more difference of watches.
Both variants are great but it’s very hard to find a final decision.

Have you tried a 5370P on? On the wrist it will either sing and make the decision for you or you will know to stick with the current 4 piece line up.

Option 2 for me, you don't need a 5170P and a 5968A when you have a 5370P

I voted 3. As much as I love the 5170P, if I had such a high end, great Patek collection, I'd seldom wear the 5968. And that 5370P!!!! Show stopper!

Go with the 3, and then add a 5164a.
