If you want investment put 200K in AMZN. I would Select PP over VC....but at that price point I would go 5370 new or 5970p if you have to have a PCC

s.m.b. · 25 March 2019, 08:11 AM

5270.

goog53 · 25 March 2019, 08:16 AM

I wouldn’t spend 20K let alone 200k on a Vacheron

bobernet · 25 March 2019, 08:46 AM

5270 unless you want to turn 200k into 100k when you sell. Then buy the VC.

I’d rather the ALS PLM tourbillon in that range, personally.

Zuger · 25 March 2019, 11:07 AM

5270p

bob101 · 25 March 2019, 12:06 PM

5270p but would rather get a 5970 for around that price

GB-man · 25 March 2019, 12:37 PM

5370P if you have a wrist 7”+ otherwise 5970P.

Ichiran · 25 March 2019, 12:52 PM

Not sure how the VC looks like, so went to the website for a quick look. The first thing that drew my attention was the large power reserve at the top, and noted the somewhat useful standby mode (twin beat).

That said, nothing beats the salmon.

If forced to blow $200K on toys I’d buy a Hajime Asaoka Tourbillion and upgrade my C2S tp a 911R. :)

ts3 · 25 March 2019, 06:55 PM

If I was going to spend 200k on a toy I'd find myself a mate and pool funds to share a Guimbal Cabri G2 rather than continuing to rent this fun piece of equipment...

WatchYouGonnaDo · 25 March 2019, 07:57 PM

Definitely not the VC - a good way to cut $200k in half if you ever change your mind. With $200k, go 5070P and have some left over for something else or skip straight to a 5970P. Can’t go wrong with those two...

alika · 25 March 2019, 08:45 PM

5270 without a doubt

Fat_ninja · 25 March 2019, 09:08 PM

Are there other options or does it have to be one of these? Im not sure Id drop $200k on either of these watches. But if it had to be either or i’d go for the 5270P

jerryguo · 26 March 2019, 07:07 AM

Given the budget there is only one brand worth considering and that is Patek Philippe.

Just need 911R as it already has a clock

benlee · 26 March 2019, 10:13 AM

I can't imagine spending 200K on a watch. But then, just 5 years ago, I can't imagine spending 20K on a watch.

I need to quit this hobby.

Well played, sir. What a machine. Pure, undistilled modern 911.

SG56 · 26 March 2019, 02:19 PM

sensui · 26 March 2019, 03:22 PM

5270p no question between those 2.

Justindo · 26 March 2019, 04:01 PM

I personally wouldn't currently spend that on amount on a single watch and if I did it likely would not be one of those. That written, if forced to choose between these two, I'd choose the Patek because, while I like VC in general and admire the technology in that particular watch, I prefer conservative, classic looking pieces, specifically chronographs and moonphase calendars.

Lukasz23212 · 26 March 2019, 05:36 PM

5270p

Calatrava r · 27 March 2019, 03:26 AM

In the current market the VC will take a huge hit, as they all do. The only choice here is the 5270P.

Sam Philip · 27 March 2019, 06:09 AM

VC is a technically superior watch with the 65 day power reserve in stand by mode and instantaneous perpetual calendar. Only 3 Pateks on the current catalogue has an instantaneous perpetual calendar.

It would be a profound error in judgment to make decisions based on the “technicially superior” criteria when it comes to luxury wristwatches.

I agree, that is why I didn't mention a preference.

jag32 · 27 March 2019, 08:41 AM

I wouldn't buy one watch, I would buy 5-6 Patek's in the 35-55k price range.

But I all reality, the gray market price of the 5711 will probably be hitting 200k by next year.

ap1 · 27 March 2019, 10:28 AM

2 5170p or 5 5712

codecow · 27 March 2019, 11:33 AM

I would give the money to starving baby puppies.
