Thank to everyone who posted on my Everose Day Date vs Everose Daytona post

I decided on the Day Date.

Then I saw a Patek 5205 at my local dealer.

This is for my 50th. I want a gold piece.

So all. What are your thoughts between these two? I don’t have a Patek in my collection.

Help me decide.

TeutonicCarFan · 18 December 2019, 02:36 PM

I think Patek as the pinnacle of high horology. That beautiful case and dial as well as being an annual calendar. Patek for sure.

Seibei · 18 December 2019, 02:37 PM

PP makes some nice watches. To me that is not the best. In this case I would take the DD.

Wimbledon · 18 December 2019, 02:37 PM

Both are nice watches. I have a DD and PP (not that model, however). Not super impressed with PP as a brand in general. They are just ok. More hype than anything. My leather strap on my PP looks like crap after only 6-8 months of wear. I would suggest going with the DD40.

The DD is just more of a landmark, impressive watch.

Day Date hands down.

Wimbledon · 18 December 2019, 02:41 PM

Yeah...don't buy into all of that PP "high horology" elite crap. That case will scratch SUPER easy, the strap will look like crap around the buckle in under a year, and it will take 6-months to have the watch serviced up in NYC.

Rolex Rolex Rolex. Skip the PP idiot-tax.

Time to hit the trainer....gotta run.

Keep them coming.

Hehehe.
How can you go wrong with any of these.......they are both gorgeous.
I think it comes down to lifestyle, personal preference....imo.

That DD is a lot more out there than the Patek you are considering. Having said that I would only consider that Patek if I would wear a shirt/suit on a daily basis.

The wis in me would choose the Patek....but, again, the DD is a more robust watch.
We are talking oyster case and gold bracelet vs leather strap and only 30m water resistance. So, it comes down to lifestyle and preference.

Phrank · 18 December 2019, 02:48 PM

Personally, I'd pick the Patek, superb watch, checks every single watch box there is in my opinion - beautiful looking reference and so unique.

just1time · 18 December 2019, 02:51 PM

Damn...that DD looks NICEEEEEEE

jo89 · 18 December 2019, 02:51 PM

Patek

Agree with the above. I think the DD is a more versatile, every day watch that can dress up or down.

a520tt · 18 December 2019, 02:54 PM

Day date everose hands down, Patek looks plain

Recaro18 · 18 December 2019, 02:56 PM

Dd!

SL BRABUS · 18 December 2019, 03:00 PM

Patek is on a whole different level plus is in a league of its own.....

Ichiran · 18 December 2019, 03:21 PM

The 5205 is a brilliant watch, and it is so beautiful.

BigBoy17 · 18 December 2019, 03:23 PM

Patek

Mlgatl · 18 December 2019, 03:28 PM

Love the opinions.

HarryLime · 18 December 2019, 03:30 PM

Patek by a mile.

Kniazukay · 18 December 2019, 03:31 PM

Both are great. But in this situation, I think you'll be happiest going with the Day Date.
With a full gold case and bracelet, it will feel very substantial on the wrist and money well spent. And you basically already chose. You said you want a gold piece... nothing says gold piece more than a Rolex president. Also you're 50... let's be real, this won't be your last watch. You don't have a Patek yet? You have plenty of time to get one.
So this way in the near future you'll have your Rolex DD AND your Patek 5070

AJM914 · 18 December 2019, 03:33 PM

Daydate! Such an iconic, classy piece!

familyguy · 18 December 2019, 03:33 PM

I know you already chose the DD over the daytona and I hate to make you second guess but I think the daytona is the way.

Between the DD and the 5205, the 5205 all day. Between the 5205 and the daytona I'd take the daytona.

marcusp23 · 18 December 2019, 03:36 PM

That’s now a tough call for me. What else do you have in your collection?

zian · 18 December 2019, 03:41 PM

DD is more versatile, you can wear it anytime
PP is a dress watch , but I'd still chose it over DD

comanndr · 18 December 2019, 03:43 PM

patek will fly under the radar to non wis
dd more bling to non wis and more durable
it only matters what you love
this is nice problem
regards

uniqueMR · 18 December 2019, 03:43 PM

Patek

subtona · 18 December 2019, 03:43 PM

2 great watches.

If only watch = rolex.

If you already have a sports watch then a Patek.

Bbp · 18 December 2019, 03:47 PM

That Patek is gorgeous!
