What was your first dress watch from Patek?

Just out of curiosity, what was your first dress watch from Patek? Did you guys go for comparatively affordable priced model? And after that, did you guys purchase additional dress watches from PP?

I would appreciate if anyone can share their experience with PP.

My first dress watch from Patek was also my first Patek - 5296g sector dial. It is one of the more affordable pieces from Patek but special to me nonetheless. I have also purchased a 5146r and a 5205g subsequently from the dresser side of the catalog. Love them all.

5205r010. My only dress watch and my only Patek. I think it will stay this way.

My first Patek was 5146j. Beautiful watch but hard to read the time sometimes.

My first Patek was a 3998P and it remains my only Patek dress watch. I like the minimalist design and wanted a date and automatic movement. As Pateks go it was affordable but platinum is always pricier than gold.
