Any thoughts?

Should one get one of these and call it a day?
Or continue to miss the missing one?

Y'all have a good week-end.

PC vs AC chrono, tough decision. The answer would be to get a PC chrono and call it a day

5905r no contest!

Partekular · 9 May 2021, 01:28 AM

The 5230G - no contest. The deceptive simplistity it’s of its perpetual calendar design and clear data is perfection whereas the 5905R is cluttered IMO.

ts3 · 9 May 2021, 01:46 AM

I'd go 5320G as it represents Patek's best calendar design IMO, thinking 3448 and 3450. Not ready to pull the trigger myself as I am no fan of the current dial color which looks quite yellowish depending on the light. If they made it with a black dial I might not be able to resist.

Not interested in any of the Patek ACs and ACCs. Too busy, too many different windows sizes and fonts, 24h rings where I'd want a date ring etc. I much prefer a simple three-hander with date or a simple chrono instead.

5905P! not the R.

Ichiran · 9 May 2021, 01:59 AM

How about the spectacular 5740, 5726/1A and 5990/1R?

sgwatchguy · 9 May 2021, 04:46 PM

5320 ... under appreciated reference.

Edit: I see your profile shows the 5320...

I went to buy a weekly calendar and then saw the 5320G and was smitten.

For me it was a last minute decision; essentially 15 minutes...i was ready to pull the credit card for 5905R, and then shifted!!!

Now i'm wondering if i should have 5905R as well; then saw the blue of 5205G; and OMG, 5720P-001 salmon dial and the whole watch look fabulous.

Get a 5320G and a nice manual chrono like a ALS 1815/Datograph or 5172G. The movement of any high end chrono is to be appreciated and obstructing it with a rotor is blasphemy.

At least that is my plan, getting a 5320G this year and an ALS Datograph or 5172G next year. I was considering an ALS Perpetual Datograph but a manual perpetual which is not a daily watch is inconvenient so I dropped that idea. But if it is a daily, a 5270 would be a great choice.

5320 is a more superior watch than the 5905
That is why the 5320 is in the grand complication section of Patek website and the 5905 is in the complicated section.

Totally agree with you. Manual is great...especially for chrono. For perpetual calendar like 5270P, i end up wasting more time setting up the watch every few weeks...wish it had 8 days power reserve :)

i wear the 5270P in rotation with other watches and setting it takes five minutes.

you know I may go and see him. I've somewhat given up on AD's for the moment since it seems to be a lost cause. But hope is not lost yet !
