Not impressed overall but then I may be suffering from a serious case of Patek fatigue.
The 6196 is what everybody was waiting for and in 38mm still very wearable. But I have never liked that movement ("wavy" layout of the bridges not attractive in my eyes) and the color combo is not for me. I'd go 5296 for that look and size (bar the salmon dial) as I can live with a date and a rotor and prefer a central second.
Love the sportier look and dial on 6159 but personally not a big fan of retrograde date watches (would always go 3940 over 5050, for example) and not into hobnail bezels at all.
Lastly, I hate to admit it but the WG 40mm Cubitus grey blue is a good looking watch. And priced even above 5811/1G.
