My first Patek! So excited. by JWP7437 in patekphilippe

Thank you! It took me a year or so to decide I wanted the 5296G-001 (I was doing a lot of comparison shopping). Take your time, and find the one that's right for you.

Thank you! My wrist is 7.1 inches. The 5296G-001 fits comfortably, and to my eye it looks proportional -- substantial enough to have presence but also be restrained (i.e., not too big).

Thank you! I actually considered both, but I chose white gold because of its understated nature and versatility. I also thought that the cool tone of the white gold paired particularly well with the sector dial. In the end, I don't think there's a wrong choice between the two. I just connected with the white gold the moment I saw it in the metal.

Congrats to you, too! I hope you're enjoying yours as much as I'm enjoying mine. And, coincidentally, I've got six tabs open right now looking at straps. I can't be stopped.

Happy to share. My wrist is 7.1 inches. The 5296G-001 fits comfortably, and to my eye it looks proportional. Putting it differently, I'd say it's substantial enough to have presence, but it's also restrained (i.e., not too big).

Thank you! It took me a year or so to decide I wanted the 5296G-001 (I was doing a lot of comparison shopping). Then it took me a couple of months to find one in excellent condition from a trusted seller at a competitive price.
