Would you rather a 5227 or 15202?

Jumbo or Calatrava what say you? 😀😀😀

Jumbo. I couldn't get comfy with the fit on my 5227 but I'm odd like that.

Both are great pieces, I prefer the 15202 as it's sportier, the Patek is more conservative. I think you could quite possibly wear that particular Patek for 20 years and never once receive a comment about your watch. I don't think the same could be said of the 15202.

Completely different watches. If only one, 15202, but agree with above that both make a perfect pair.

The 15202 for casual and the 5227 for dressy attire makes for a perfect duo. It really depends on your preference for a sports or a dress watch. They are both great watches and you can't go wrong with either or both!

If it can be only one then the 15202 for me although I really like the 5227, especially the R.

If I were you, I would go to either a Patek 5296, which is so similar to 5227, or a complication that would be worthy of the money.

15202. The calatrava line isn't for me. Unless it's a 5524, but that isn't really a calatrava.

From your name alone, I'll go 15202.

The 15202 by a whisker. I prefer sports models for most days and the RO is certainly a distinctive look.

Calatrava because I'm a sucker for dresswatches.

15202.

The Calatrava line has never really excited me, and I'd probably go Reverso or VC for a traditional dress watch.
