All,

I am looking to purchase my first Patek Phillppe. I am looking for something under 30k with a brown leather bracelet, rose gold and not too busy of a dial. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks for all the help!

Can only be 5227

JustWatches2018 · 11 September 2018, 04:43 AM

Was hoping for a something with a little more complication - watch doesn't have to be new.

The 5196r is the most beautiful watch I have ever seen. It's watch distilled to its purest form.

justdate · 11 September 2018, 08:18 AM

5205R? I bought the black dial variant and think it's worth every $.

R!$ · 11 September 2018, 08:26 AM

Have you see the Calatrava line?

jon_jon · 11 September 2018, 09:42 AM

For complicated pieces, pre-owned Annual Calendar (5146 or 5396) or World Time (5130 or 5230) should be good options at the under $30K price range. If you don't want a "busy dial", the 5396 may fit your criteria.

I have a 5119j. Not complicated, but elegant.

Mine is in yellow gold, but it is available in rose gold.

5230r should be close and check some boxes.

Wow, thought this would be too complicated for me but I love it.

Thanks!

I have a 5153R. Dial is has the guilloche so a bit more busy. Only calatrava with deployant clasp.

tonupbklyn · 12 September 2018, 11:43 AM

pre-owned 5127 in either c315 or c324 movement.
can be found well under 30k.
and, for me, a better size and case profile than the current gen 5227.

wouldn't mind having one myself, but i think I'm done with dress watches.

Chute · 12 September 2018, 12:18 PM

5296 would be my pick

dbfagan · 12 September 2018, 01:15 PM

If you have a smaller wrist I would recommend a 3960

Ichiran · 12 September 2018, 01:30 PM

As OP doesn't like Calatrava, the logical choice would be 5146R or 5396R. Try looking around for used pieces at the 30k price range, not too sure what's the market price though.

SL BRABUS · 12 September 2018, 02:29 PM

5146R is a good choice.

AK797 · 13 September 2018, 12:51 AM

5711R or J has a clean dial, maybe price is higher.

enjoythemusic · 13 September 2018, 04:32 AM

5035 RG

36mm, wears a bit small yet was a daily beater for coding desk job-ish for years. Paid $13,500 when it came out, so by now they should still be reasonable. It is available in RG with black or silver-ish/white dial.
