Hello,

In future i want to have only a great 4 watch collection.
I don't know which way should be the best.
Actually i have a few nice pieces for the 4watch collection and another steel Rolex watches but these are not worthy for the holy collection.

Now my holy grail is a

Patek Philippe 5711A blue dial
Patek Philippe 5711R rose braclet
Patek Philippe 5170P
Rolex 116506

But i am thinking to change it in these ....
What do you think about it?
What would you do?

sorry or this one..

One Rolex because you need a watch that you can actually do real sports with. If you want sporty and want to look the part while watching in the Skybox then you want a...

1 Patek preferably dress because they are dress watches.

One from an independent manufacturer because you actually care about supporting those who create incredible mechanical timepieces and value their Ingenuity and not mass production. Why get something thousands of other people have?

Something fun that you always wanted but never thought about. Could be a Swatch could be ALS.

116506 + 5740G + 5170P + 5168G

AK797 · 17 September 2018, 06:35 AM

I'd have the 5711r, 5740, 5170 and Platona.

this.

ragsk · 17 September 2018, 06:47 AM

Platona - yes gorgeous piece
15407ST yes of course 1 AP is a must and what better than this
5170P - yes you need a dress watch

That leaves only the Nautilus to add. Up to you which model.

I am of a similar camp as this:

I agree.

nyc2la · 17 September 2018, 02:39 PM

These 4 (plus a SS Rolex)...

ap1 · 17 September 2018, 09:10 PM

AP and 11. AP and 12 would be even better. Agree need Rolex beater.

Your list desperately needs something truly hand crafted by a master. Just seems like you prefer mainstream stuff i suppose. How about FP Journe, they're the real deal imho and take the time to use multiple bridges instead of consolidating them, etc.

V25V · 18 September 2018, 06:35 AM

The Daytona does absolutely nothing for me, so that leaves me with 2 options. Will choose the first of those two.

Hermann · 18 September 2018, 02:59 PM

Hi,
Do you don’t think there is to much blue in the collection

??
5711A
5740G
5170P
5168G

I do and white metal hence the 5711r is a great addition.

FP Journe is a nice watch but not so my brand.

I think this would be the most independent and diverse collection, are you in my opinion?

These are all phenomenal. Hulk to beat on

Ichiran · 19 September 2018, 10:48 AM

Gray blue, electric blue, sunburst blue and ice blue!

Go blue!

sokoloka · 19 September 2018, 11:10 AM

Of the options listed, the first one with the 15407. That skeleton is absolutely jaw dropping and on my list as well.

I'd agree with that, altho here the Platona could do that.

Hermann · 23 September 2018, 02:01 PM

Crazy but also this 4 would have something??

Very nice. More diverse if you replaced the 5711 SS with 5712 SS, IMO.

This is a joke, isn't it?

Bearxj86 · 24 September 2018, 12:02 AM

Not a fan of the platona. I prefer a steel daytona or steel rolex for more of a daily wearer. Go with 4 without and get a batman, hulk or daytona for a 5th : )

idontlike_bandwagons · 24 September 2018, 12:18 AM

For me personally I would like to have more diversity if I would set a watch limit, 3 times the exact same shape/model is something I find truly boring.
Replace the 5711/1A with the 15202ST or 15205A, replace the 5740G with the 5712/1A and then replace the 5711/1R with something on a textile strap or rubber strap like the 116655

For me still too sport heavy, but you could like it.
