Pulled the trigger- 5905 Incoming- Blue Baby-Blue!
 

I can't believe I'm spending this much on a watch. But I'm a big guy- 6'4" and have other watches but I gravitate towards the best. There is little doubt that Patek is at the top of the heap when it comes to the world of watches.

I've always worn larger watches- 42-44mm but have loved the style of Patek. Anytime I wanted to buy a Patek, I'd have an internal battle over buying their 39 and 40mm watches.

I got a 5980 last year and while not a true 44mm, I really got used to the size. I sold my AP Grand Prix and some other pieces to make some room in the collection as my love for all things Patek deepend.

I kept my eye out for the elusive Grail- a larger Patek that didn't cost upwards of 750k. A month ago my AD called and said they had a 5524- the Pilots watch. I declined as it was not a good time in my life as I was going through some busy time at work. But I regret that decision to this day. A Patek that is large and frankly I like the style of it.

However I digress- fast forward to today with my 45th birthday coming up in a few months and some long sought business goals accomplished- I pulled the trigger on a 5905.

Now the dilemma was- blue or black. After much deliberation and having seen the blue in person, I settled on blue. It's more versatile, the blue pops and family I'm smitten!

My wife is the best as she is supportive of me dropping the cash on such a piece and I'm in heaven. Attached are some photos of my trying on the watch at the AD- my own piece arrives in a few weeks. I promised my wife that I would not wear it till my birthday in August. That is going to be hard but I'll enjoy staring at it in the safe.

Thanks for allowing me to share- this is not my third (hopefully not last) Patek in my collection- 5905, 5980, 5135

Great watch and a bit of a sleeper. But, it is a heck of a lunk. Think about adding a deployment clasp. Here is a pic from today at my AD with a blue and black together. Congratulations and enjoy!!!

You guys all rock! Thanks for the positive comments. As far as deployment clasp- part of my deal of buying the watch was to have the deployment clasp included. So yes- DC is Part of the purchase.

Love em
Both but this confirms my choice for the blue!!

Congrats! It is an amazing watch.

Great choice and congratulations! Looks tremendous on your wrist too.
