Icon20 Solely academic... Another Poll

Just curious looking at Pateks holy trinity. This is the top of the crop guys. So, what do you think? Any favorites? Anyone has pics on their wrist?

Logan, I think you need to add two more, 5074 and 5213.

As the poll stands, 5208 for me, but if you extend the poll, I am slightly leaning towards the 5074R white face, but if I didn't have the 5970P and 5960P (black face) would probably go 5074P. Very tough call!

I think overall it would be the 5208, although I would have to see it in person.
I'm just not sure about the charcoal dial, I think I might like it in a white/off whitish.
I used a process that I frequently used in a former business I owned, wherein you don't try to pick the one you want, however, you eliminate the ones you question the most or aren't fond of for one reason or another, or even if you liked them all. It always worked in the selection process where you had difficulties deciding.

very tough call between 5207 and 5208. I think I would go for 5207 as I do not currently have any tourbillons in my collection.

5204P for me, the 5339R is my ultimate grail and the 5204P is #2.

Gotta go with a minute repeater and the 5074 has the most balanced dial layout.

5207 or 5213 for me. But there is no wrong answer to this question. All are spectacular.
