New to the Club: First Patek

Finally pulled the trigger on my first Patek. Was deciding between the 5107, 5296, 5227, and 5127. Ended up going with the 5107r! Just picked it up today.

A superb choice. One of the most beautiful Calatravas Patek has produced this century.

What an absolutely beautiful watch. You can’t go wrong with this one. You can pull this off with any outfit also. Congratulations.

Thanks all. Great first impressions. Fits perfectly and gives you that classic Patek look. Would highly recommend it for those looking for a Calatrava with a date function.

That’s absolutely beautiful! I love the calatravas with the crownguards, so practical and beautiful and a screw down crown for the bonus! Congratulations!

Beautiful watch. Congrats!

I'm looking at that exact reference right now. I like the idea of buying a couple of straps from Molequin to rotate between.

Thanks all! Kevwatch, go for it! It is a beautiful watch. Pictures do not do it justice. Just make sure you get one with full set, box and papers. Good luck!
