Don't know much about Patek.. but Calatrava comes to mind... and my favorite is the Celestial 5102PR... but I have never looked at the price.. my guess is it is expensive..

omg · 21 January 2010, 02:42 PM

5167/1a
I like this one :)

Pimpsy · 21 January 2010, 02:44 PM

Depends on your price range.

sbux · 21 January 2010, 02:49 PM

5712 !!

kyle L · 21 January 2010, 02:50 PM

Price range?

JUSTROLEXES · 21 January 2010, 03:03 PM

what is the price range and what metal??? also sporty or dressy

..
SS=A1?? J= Yellow gold? G= White gold? R rose gold?? and P= Platimum..?
Here are few sporty models that I like myself
5167 in SS should run in the 15K on rubber and 16500 on steel band
5712 in SS should run in the $32K
5980 in SS should run in the $40K
....
please answer my questions and i will help you.

sakuraba · 21 January 2010, 03:08 PM

aquanaut or nautilus models

Although I'd like to add that I would never make it to the Patek Philippe price stratosphere. There are just way too many great Rolexes along the way.

Vipergq · 21 January 2010, 03:31 PM

I was looking at the aquanaut....

I know they are amazing watches, but to me not worth the price sadly...

kjb · 21 January 2010, 09:02 PM

Go for the Nauitilus 5711 or if you have a few more bucks to spend get the 5712 in steel

Tony (Just Rolexes) has a nice 5712 in the for sale section right now . If you want to buy from a AD the wait is very very very long .............

Can you give us some idea as to what you would want from your Patek?

Simple but Classic? = Calatrava

Sporty? = Nautilus & Aquanaut

Complicated? = World Timers, Annual Calendars, Perpetual Calendars & Chronographs (or a combination of both)

Grand Complication? = Tourbillon, Minute Repeater, Celestial, Sky Moon, or a combination of Tourbillon, Minute Repeater & Perpetual Calendar.

I think that the last time, I saw a Celestial the price was in the area of £140,000

towernick · 22 January 2010, 05:58 AM

5070p

DSJ · 23 January 2010, 03:00 AM

Need a budget and likes to answer.

CPTL · 23 January 2010, 04:43 AM

I love the Aquanat and the 5070. jdrolltide has an aquanat in like new condition on the sales forum. If only I had $12K laying around....

Cato · 26 January 2010, 04:02 AM

My first PP will be a Calatrava!

TheBluePrince · 30 January 2010, 07:33 AM

An aquanaut or a Calatrava would be the first choice. Or maybe an old vintage piece for a similar price. One of the re-cased pocket watch movements/dials would be interesting and have a lot of history.

C. Davidson · 30 January 2010, 06:26 PM

Get a 5131. (not my pic)

topcat30093 · 30 January 2010, 10:40 PM

Chris, nice thought.

I would be mega impressed if anybody was able to get this piece as their 1st Patek

toph · 30 January 2010, 10:44 PM

chris has nailed it!! i was just about to post that pic but he has already done it- i would love that watch one day

Mosco · 30 January 2010, 10:47 PM

Good first Patek? Sky Moon Tourb. Ask the Wizard.

Rob_b · 30 January 2010, 11:35 PM

For a sporty look, anytime anywhere watch, I'll say any Aquanaut

But, I do like the newer one, the 5167/1A. Affordable first Patek IMHO.

It would certainly grab my attention anytime, anywhere

Just want to share that 5711 and 5712 don't seem to be in short supply any no longer. Last week, I was offered both 5712 and 5711 at the NorCal AD (both at retail - but no taxes).

Right after Christmas, I saw the same thing in NY, couldn't believe it. Better yet, I saw 5711G as well.

All of these models had a 6 month waitlist in 2008.

armoredsaint · 1 February 2010, 02:48 PM

i guess the OP went MIA when he found out the prices
