Patek Philippe versus Breguet
All,
I am weighing the purchase of a Patek Philippe 5396R or 5712R (fitted with Calibers 324 and 240) against a Breguet Classique 7337 (fitted with Caliber 502). I would very much welcome feedback on the relative quality, reliability and level of finishing of Breguet's movements against those of Patek Philippe, particularly with reference to the cited Calibers to the extent possible. Thank you in advance! |

Both are great choices. Sounds like you have done your homework. For me personally, I would go with the Patek Philippe. Of the two you mentioned, the 5396R vs the 5712R it is too difficult to call. I think it depends on your personality and style. The 5396R is your classic looking watch, very simple, elegant, and will always be in style. The 5712R is a little more bold in my opinion but I do like it a lot. In summary, I would go with the Patek and I think for me I would chose the 5396R because I like to be more low key and just really love that design. Great choices all around though. I think you will be happy no matter the direction you choose. Good Luck!

For a dress watch the Classique is hard to beat if you have ruled out Lange. For more sporty I'd choose the 5712R.

I think you were asking specifically about the calibre within the watch versus the prettiest? Cheers

I love Breguet and own a beautiful one, but even the biggest Breguet fan concedes this fight.
