One of my new favorites!!!

I understand the love for this piece after now owning it and wearing it all day, it's truly the most comfortable watch I've owned!

The perpetual chronograph to me was the most desirable because it is so historic for Patek. It felt like an essential.

The others are desirable as well to varying degrees for me.

Above all else, the aesthetics are important to me. There are plenty of watches out there that do all kinds of interesting things, but if it doesn't appeal to me aesthetically I won't wear it. The exclusivity of a piece alone isn't enough for me. It has to trigger that aesthetic attraction to stay in my collection long term.

Amen to that, wearing a watch you find beautiful is worth much more than all the complications and finishing it can have.

...Mind you, getting both at the same time is quite nice as well when you can afford it.
