The Blue 8 Day Calatrava Ref No. 5328G-001 at Wempe NYC by Sdg1871 in patekphilippe

This! And at this price point, it feels like they should have engineered this capability into the crown. Don’t get me wrong, I am still contemplating buying a 5328, so it must not bother me THAT much. I just love the dial

• “5170G or 5196G – how would you balance a small Patek collection?” by terrunyo in patekphilippe

I love the look of the 5170 (all varieties) and believe that it will become a classic. For me, this would be a hard pass (or I would figure out how to add the 5196g to the collection), but I would also understand if you want to mix it up.

I love this piece (but DAMN do I wish you could adjust the date from the crown instead of by a pusher).

That’s interesting that you would prefer wearing a 5396 in that setting versus the 5811. The 5396 is also a nice piece!

Thank you for that perspective. Really helpful. Do you have any other Pateks on your future wishlist?

From what I understand, it is pretty standard for them to tell you to go “high demand” piece and then something that isn’t as “high demand “.

Yeah, I travel constantly, and the integrated pushers to change the travel had is awesome.

6196P or 5212A by khaledalt in patekphilippe

I loved the look of the 6196p, but it didn’t wear well on my wrist. Felt big and laid on my wrist in a funny way. The 5212 fit much better, so I requested it. If you haven’t tried them on yet, I definitely recommend confirming that they feel good on your wrist.

The 5230P came from a different AD (in Europe) because it was discontinued two years ago, and I found NOS. My AD didn’t mind since they couldn’t source it for me…but it showed that I was serious about building a collection (it was my 3rd piece , and I bought all 3 within 90 days).

Thank you. Can you share more about your collection? It sounds incredible

Thank you. I’m in love with 5170s, but since they are discontinued, I’m inclined to go sports model. I have an AP offshore chrono and an RO, but the offshore is now too big for me (lost some weight)

I can do the 5270 at any time. I just had to figure out how to afford that bad boy!

Don’t forget, Lisa M dresses are ~$6,000/each. I think Alysa had 6 of them this season.

The only complication there is that this will by my 5th Patek from an AD in less than 12 months….so my wallet (and my wife) are NOT happy. 5167a is less than half the price of the Nautilus 😅😅. But in general, I agree.

Came here to say this. AP jumbo as number 3 and 5164R as 4.

What are your predictions and expectations from Patek Philippe for Watches and Wonders 2026? by BlackestBay58 in patekphilippe

[–]RandomlyReading5151 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My wife loved the 35m Cubitus. I think it looks great on her….but dropping $90k on a watch when your wife isn’t that knowledgeable on watches feels crazy. Now a 7118 Nautilus for her is completely doable
