What would be your ideal 3-5 Patek collection?

[JJ WA]

If money was not an issue, these would be my five picks:

5712A, 5164A, 5950A, 5970G and 5575G

[Busyboy]

5712
5905
5270
......... Probably be made up there

Or

5170
5740

[Fat_ninja]

I think im going to make some progress this year on my 5. Hopefully ill be able to add the 5712a and the 5320g this year.

Don't really see the market for the 5170g getting any softer. It is very soft right now.

If I'm starting today, from zero, and am selecting models I'd actually wear:

5167 on Tropical
5711 white dial
5196 G or P (can't decide which dial I actually prefer)
5227 yellow

If I already have my 5065, the above list would still hold, but I'd go for the 5167 on a bracelet.

If I also have a time machine, and can go back and acquire watches no longer in production (I've always preferred to buy brand new) then it would be:

5165 or 5167 on Tropical
5711 white
5196 (G or P)
5111 J
5522

The 5711 white is still in production

Yes, I wasn't saying exclusively out of production models, as 5196 is also still made, I was merely saying what I'd ideally pick if both current and past models were there for the choosing.

I am lucky enough to own a fair number of Pateks...to narrow it to 4 is interesting.

5370P - best watch ever
5990 - travel beast
5270R - sometimes dressy requires some gold
5235 - I know this is a surprise but I love it and it's nice to have a piece for some whimsy

[GGatsby]

PP Dreamwatch and No 1: Nautilus 5990 !!

Then the TT 5164 and a 3700

[pam66]

5711R, 5712A, 5980 /1R or 5980R (not sure which), 5170P, 5270P

[Noak]

Picking from a list of current production model, I would choose the following

5172g - like the fact that it's a manual wind chronograph, prefer this dial over the 5170g

5930g - nice WT with chronograph, very beautiful dial, photos don't do justice and you really need to see it in person

5164 - comfortable size for a sporty GMT and a nicely space out dial with what I feel is a perfectly sized sub dial.

5712 - alluring blue dial, loved the asymmetrical layout though I have no use for the moon phase

5990 - a beast of a watch, nicely balanced sub dials, it will certainly make its presence felt.

Wish I could say Im adding a steel. Steel Pateks seem like an illusion to me.
