None of them for me good movements but just don't like there style in watches but today many buy watches like Patek to wear the name you could say the same for Rolex.

I think of two, the Calatrava and the Grand Complication (3970/5970/5270).

Not a fan of any of the Genta Pateks (Nautilus/Aquanaut)

No particular model, I'm far too deep into horology to answer that. Ask me 10 years ago and it was and still is a perpetual calendar chronograph (2499 / 3970 / 5970 / 5270), then a cloisonne enamel world time.

PCC
Patek to me is grand complications, always was and still is.

Not Nautilus, not aquanaut. Ever.

The 5164 simply because it's my favorite from the brand even though there are many more serious high horological references.

Gotta agree. Tried on an Aquanaut on strap, really nice watch and the fit/finish are out of this world, but does not do much for me to pay that kind of price.

Patek perpetual calendar chronograph.

1518, 5270

That’s the classic Patek. For younger or people on earlier ends of their journeys, nautilus, aquanauts.

For me Nautilus / Aquanaut.

In terms of the brand overall, I think 'superlative quality' and 'IMF-intervention price tag'

As above. Good movements, beautiful watches but nothing that stylistically appeals strongly enough.

Calatrava, definitely! In rosé gold. The only PP I´d be interested in buying...

Ask if the guy pining for a nautilus or aquanaut if they have or have had a Piaget polo.

No?

They want the Patek sports it for the brand. lol.

5711 is obviously iconic but I prefer the 5167. Just love the simple looks and fantastic on the rubber.

Any of the perpetual calendar chronographs - that complication defines the brand, IMHO.
