What would be your ideal 3-5 Patek collection?

[Fat_ninja]

If you had a watchbox that had enough slots for 3-5 watches, Which 3-5 Patek references do you want in that box? 3 or 5. Some people might be content with 3. 5 feels optimal for me as I wont wear anymore than that. It doesnt matter what you currently have in your collection, but more of where you want it to be. I was thinking about this over thr past few nights and curious what others are thinking


I’ll start... this would be my ideal collection just for me.


5711r - for the days where its all about fun and sun, just to add a pep to my step.
5712a/r -this dial just continues to mesmerize me. I find myself staring at it.
5170g - i lust after this watch, one day maybe when the market softens.
5320G - when i tried this on, fell in love with this watch but not at msrp. This is up there with the 5170g for me.
5131P (but on a strap) - just something special

I realized im not really into AC, PC etc. its nice just not for me. Maybe my taste will evolve as i mature


Good morning! Whats yours?

[Hamish]

In no particular order
5740, 5131R, 5370, 5970P & 5078P

When my 5167 comes back it is 5 lol

But I'd probably go 5320 as IMO cleanest PC in the catalogue

Pretty close to what I was thinking!

To each their own, but I'd have a 5320, 5711 and 5968, you choose the metals in the ones that have options.

I'm mostly casual wear, so those would be my three.

Many thanks, there is only 2 there without complications,but 1 doesn't need a complication but would lose the 5167 for 5320, and that's all bases covered IMO

This! Hands down what I aspire to
The black Aqua is my fav

[d11n]

new to the obsession and new to the forum so still evolving...but so far.

1- 5196, for a classic basic dress (done)
2- 3940, for a vintage perpetual (done)
3- 5170g-010, for a Chrono (negotiating with ADs presently)
4- 5711 blue, if I can ever get my hands on one at a realistic price
5- 5231, for a world timer

...but I assume this will evolve and will be fun to look back on what I said.

you guys are a knowledgeable bunch...fun/expensive to read the forum.

Have you seen the 5172? Curious why not the new 5172. Just wondering

I think the 5170 is a more classic look especially with the black dial and I favor the 39 over 41 due to my wrist size. But the strap on the 5172 is pretty cool IMO...

5196P - ultimate dress PP
5712/1A - ultimate daily SS on bracelet
5164A - ultimate daily SS on rubber and as close to a PP tough watch as you can get
5370P - grail watch for me, has so much going for it
5270R - PCC is a classic and ads something timeless in a non-white metal

Diamonds are forever...

[0315]

Pretty close
5711 blue
5712 blue
5524 gold
5164 A
And some dress watch I haven’t decided yet.

For some reason I‘m on the gold trip recently...not sure if this goes by...

[0315]

Double post

[ts3]

If 3 - just one Calatrava, Nautilus, and Aquanaut each:

- 3998P
- 5711/1A
- 5165A or 5167A (5968A if my wrist was larger)

If 5 - I would likely add some vintage pieces:

- 3417, 3466, or 3483
- 3700
