Your 5 dream watches
If money was no object.
I would have: Everyday Watch: Rolex GMT BLNR Chronograph: Royal Oak chronograph 26320 Gold: Rolex Day Date 218238 yellow gold Smart: Patek Calatrava 5227 Holy Grail: Patek 5270 Total cost is roughly just under £200K Im only 19, and currently my watch collection only consists of a Breitling SOH chronograph and a Rolex GMT BLNR (On order but collecting it this month!). But one day having those 5 pieces is my dream. |

I will easily enjoy a tourby and a perpetual calendar as daily watch, if money was no object.

I'm pretty content with my collection, maybe add 1 or 2, but less is more for me these days and that includes complications which I just don't really use and they often clog up the dial.

I'm happy with my current 4, I've got my eye on a Tudor BB or TTsub sometime in the future.

An answer I could be content wih would take hours to achieve, but if only considering modern pieces, they could be roughly: a Patek perpetual chrono, a 116619, a 116520, a 116718 and an AP 26320.

Allowing 5 options does not force tough enough decisions.

I have five Rolex watches now and it's about right. Had seven and gave one to each of two sons.
These would be my ultimate five: - PP Aquanaut Travel Time 5164A, SS or YG, on rubber - Sky-Dweller in RG on leather - PP Nautilus 5726A SS or YG, on leather - Cellini Dual Time (or Cellini Date) - Omega Globemaster (or Tresor) I intend to keep my daily drivers even if I was able to afford even one of the watches listed above.

Patek 5016 (gotta have a Patek minute repeater and 5016 is my fav. out of all of them)
Patek 2499 (gotta have a classic chronograph and Patek makes the prettiest one) Rolex Platinum DD 40 or vintage Daytona panda dial (No collection is complete without a Rolex, can't decide which one I like better though, sure Daytona is a classic, but there's something quite special about a hefty Platinum DD on your wrist) GF GMT (my current fav. watch, the workmanship is impeccable, better than any big brands like Patek or AP) Urwerk CC1 (my fav. Indie watch, horizontal retrograde bar display of time, it's not a pretty watch, but it is interesting for sure). Apple watch as my daily watch, it's a useful watch, though it's not my or anybody's dream watch, lol. |

As soon as I'd get 5, I'm sure I'd want something else. I don't think I'll ever be satisfied no matter what I get.
Panerai 3646 (for staring at or when I want to go period correct vintage diving) Panerai 21 (everyone needs a daily beater, and well, I like cushion cased vintage divers, see above) Patek 5980 (I'm a simple SS guy, well except for the Platinum 21 above and I don't even like chronographs, but what the hell, the case is perfect size and fit for me) Rolex 116619 (this is my "nice" diver that I could wear on my fishing boat to match. Maybe this will be my tuna fishing watch) Zenith Defy Xtreme Tourbillon (I'd buy this just to smash it and have one less in the world)
