What Patek are you buying for $60,000

[jgottsman11]

Have sold (4) rolex's in the past month since buying a Patek. Patek really seems to change my ideology on what I need in a collection. if you had $60,000 to spend on another Patek or even a precious metal Rolex, what would you go for?

[ChetBaker]

5960P blue dial

[WatchingAustin]

daydate or 5212A

[impactplayer]

5320G (cream dial). Or pony up a little more for a salmon dial (either 5320G or 5172G).

5524 and then keep 20 in your pocket.

At retail? 5712

[vitalsigns]

Probably a chronograph...pre-owned 5170, or, for a bit more than 60K, a pre-owned 5172.

[~JJ]

For me, 5960/01g or 5170 black dial.

[DavidSB]

5212a, add a SS deployant ($575) and bunch of straps and keep some cash.

3940G hands down

[salnuaimi]

used 5726 grey on a strap (from grey)

[ATO]

I vote for the 5212a

[SoylentGreenChi]

5227 - scalloped lugs, hunters case back, classic Patek.

5070G ( just add a little more $)

[masochistsr]

Add another 25k and get the 5980/60G

I was gonna say, "Annual calendar" but i think this is even better. Stainless steel, green dial, annual calendar chrono sports watch.

I’m hoping to pick up my first Patek in a few weeks. I went for a 5205G. Ticks a lot of boxes for me. 5172 also in the running. But I have a Daytona, so chronograph covered. And the AC is a complication made by Patek. Amazing dial, lugs. Just so much to like about the 5205 on paper. Looking forward to having it on my wrist.

[EUguy]

5935A. You tick two important Patek complication boxes (Worldtime and chronograph) while the watch is highly suitable for everyday use with its steel case. And to top it off, it is a strap monster.

Oh, how I wish a full set 3940G could still be had for less than 60K… Sigh.

[mathurss]

Condition is everything but I’m seeing 5050g and j on chrono24 sub 60k.

5172g - blue

[DK7]

5212a and 5738r Ellipse

[ts3]

Too many come to mind...

3940, 5110P/5230P, NOS 5522A, 5170G or 5975 with the G likely beyond budget.

[jgottsman11]

Personally, all of these answers solidified my idea to stick with a Day Date

[GB-man]

5320g or 5172g for me. DD are fun but a dime a dozen and much more attention grabbing. Different watches entirely. I do love a good DD as well.

[Tan]

5320G cream dial hands down, I bought it recently too because it was such great bang per buck (alongside I love the story of its connection to the 1591).

[codecow]

If you can get a 5170 for that price that’s a nice watch to have.

[AK797]

You might just get a 5711R or J for that.
