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

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

[ap1]

57121a
5170p
59801r
5740
5711w

This is stuff that likely fits

5270p, 5968 for stuff that doesn’t (not sure if 5980 would fit me)

5370p if dreaming is allowed

[Helmi]

Can't go with 3 , my best 5 are (no particular order):

1- 5711 white or 5711p if choosing discontinued model is allowed.
2- 5712/1a
3- 5740
4- 5131p
5- toss a coin between 5170p and 5270p

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

I'm sure many people would have, but turned it down flat, it's only going 1 way, and I still like to wear it and enjoy it

What if they come out with another ladies aquanaut? Im going to hold u to that

[WatchLurv]

5711/1R - Perfect wedding and sports watch
5980/1R - Casual day off watch
5164R - Travel + casual
5990/1A - Ultimate travel for me
5740G - Just makes me drool. I can imagine the weight and the blue just smiling at me 24/7.

All nautis and an aqua. This nauti-bug has taken me over. I'll have 3 of these watches before end of Q2. Not sure when I'll ever see the light of the 2 others.
