I second the ZW....totally unique and gets a fair amount of wrist time

I would go either Lange or Journe. With Lange there are many choices of complications you do t have.

For the ultimate understated 3 hander:
Richard Lange Pour le Mérite
Or as others have suggested the Zeitwork.

From Journe you have many unique complications. You could do the Resonance or perhaps a chronometer optimum.

You have a beautiful collection, my compliments. If it were me though, I would look into a PM RoyalOak(nothing offshore) a nice RG or YG open works would be a beautiful addition to an already amazing collection! And you would have the two most iconic Genta designs off your bucket list.

Make it a two watch collection: Sell Platona and 5170P and add cash to get 5070P

I would add an AP Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar in Black Ceramic. You get a very exotic material, high complications piece, and the original design that put luxury sports watches on the map. Plus the only piece in your collection that comes from outside of Geneva!

If you don't mind expanding to other brands and loosening up on the watch size factor.....I'd definitely look @ Lange (the Zeitwerks suggestion is right on point). Another brand I'd highly consider with this kind of slimmed down TOTL collection would probably be FP Journe (dare I say Vagabond?)

You need a "daily beater" and the new SS BLRO would compliment your collection nicely.

AP Royal Oak of some sort -- maybe a tourbillon or perpetual calendar.

ABSOLUTELY NOT

You need to keep the Platona-- hands down the best looking of the Daytonas, not to mention the most legible.

Fantastic suggestion......best one I've seen so far.

Given the OP's collection, the watch that would compliment it best would be an ALS in PM, and the ZW is a great choice.

I feel like you'd dig this thing, almost a pound of weight on the wrist!

https://www.watchcollectinglifestyle...ands-on-review

a lot of the suggestions are on rounding out the collection, i'm just leaning into what I see already :)

p.s. - nice collection so far!

I want to find some peace and complete my timeless collection with the most basic complications and the most complete timepieces.
The Daytona in platinum is in my eyes the most beautiful Daytona in the finest execution.
The perpetual calendar in the Nautilus with the new clasp is also the most beautiful and unobtrusive precious metal watch in the Nautilus series — simply perfect.
The handwinding chrono in platinum is above all doubt and impresses above all by its simple perfection with diamonds.

I think PP is very well covered with the two for me "big" complications.
Rolex -> The Platona no words needed

What's missing is a Royal Oak with the perfect case and tape processing.
Unfortunately, there is no RO with glass bottom in white gold.... :-(
I think I am very well served with a 15400 with silver leaf.
The sheet sparkles wonderfull and the clock also has a date quick adjustment.
That's why no 15202 comes into question for me (I already had)
It’s a simple watch but this would bring another dial color and is a 3 hands watch

I think then I should have a very timeless collection.
what do you all mean ??

I think the 15400 would not balance well with the rest of your collection. It is a bit too basic versus the other 3, and the 3120 movement is not the most attractive movement out there..

Hey Herman, you are ready for an automatic perpetual. I have the 5327 G and love it. You might look at 5327 J if you don’t want another bluesey. Has to be a Patek - :-))
