Here's the front...



And the back!

Well the front doesn't look that impressive compared to the back side but you see those rather rarely so I thought I might as well give you more to look at than not enough!

That piece is lovely indeed, I think a tonneau shape case looks very nice on a watch!

For once I shall remain constant with my choice :)

It would have to be the original 5207P, I had the previlege of trying it on twice and it was just perfect.

Oh well, we can dream!

Nice choice, I'm not a fan of this case shape, however I sure do like the complications on this one.

I realize it will take a miracle in order for me to obtain this watch at retail but I will continue to dream and most likely hold onto my Patek fund until it is discontinued and officially out of reach.


Just got a call from my AD yesterday that a 5170j is in stock if I want it. Is it "settling" to just go with this piece?

This one is simply gorgeous, however I would have no problem going with the 5170j personally.

Good luck with you decision, please let us know how it goes.

I must admit that it isn't my favorite but it is stunning nonetheless.

The 5130J is an impressive piece and I remember choosing it when we were debating on our favorite pieces from the Complications collection. However, it is such an out of reach piece that myself would go with the stunning 5170J if I ever had the chance to find one in an AD.

Whatever you choose, make sure you do it for yourself and given your preferences, then only will you be able to buy a watch you'll love for the rest of your life!

Hard to pick just one. For dressing up I'd go for the 5127J:



But for the casual everyday running around I'd pick the new 5726A/1A:

Tough choice, for sure. There are too many I want

However, I absolutey love the ref. 2499:

I'm going to stick to modern pieces in the current collection that I could wear as my only watch on a daily basis.

1st: 5550P Advanced Research or 5204P (would have to try them on to see which one sings the loudest)

2nd: 5960P

3rd: 5940j or 5140j (Although I would prefer a 3940r)

Unfortunately none of these are my watches or pictures.

My favorite Patek owned is my 5070P--had to add this picture though of what would make a great partner for her--5970P. To me that would be one heck of a tandem!!

My selection 'IF' I got the money

Chrono 5960P Grey Dial

Dress 5205G (darker dial)

Sport 5726A with SS Bracelet

One that I probably wouldn't wear but just to look at and admire 5002P

I guess if by "favorite" we mean Grail watches...this would be mine...made from unobtainium, this watch is truly my favorite Patek that I don't/can never own...
