Why do you love Patek?

Rolex are substantial watches and at 36-42mm they have a good weight and balance..however, my small 5120 (37mm) feels almost as substantial when I pick it up..granted its WG...

I wanted some diversity in my collection and wanted a "dress" watch..hence the 5120...I do drool over the complications..but that's another time...

I have looked at the Nautilus line..the complicated watches are a thing of beauty...

in the last few years..Langes have really mounted an attack on the Pateks..and rightly so..their watches are beautiful...that's on my list as well

good luck in your hunt..

That watch is absolutely gorgeous!

Recently, I was fortunate to be able to try on the Nautilus 5712/1A, belonging to another member here, and that too was a mind-blower. Amazing how they can make a SS bracelet feel like silk.

[QUOTE=C. Davidson;1300117]Thanks to David, RW16610, Brandon, Howard, The Dude, Bill, Allan, Al and Rook for all your replies.

Thanks to everyone for a great and very informative thread .

David, the 5131J that you like so much is probably one of Pateks most exclusive watches, due to the work that is required on the ennamel dial and the colouring!!
