Just for fun, lately I’ve been thinking about what would be my Rolex & Patek duo of choice for life (I don’t know why, since I’m not looking to purchase). After much thought I’ve come to the conclusion that I would pick my SubC Date and the 5712. I think they compliment each other very well and I’m very casual so I dont need a dress watch.

Curious to know what TRF would pick from the two best brands in the world imho.

Some pics of my duo

thats a good combo... i would do what you suggested or get the 5164.

tng11 · 14 March 2018, 12:26 AM

In my current stable, I could reduce to a 116610LV and the 5164A and be completely happy. So that is the perfect pair for me.

GB-man · 14 March 2018, 12:28 AM

5164 and Daytona black/Sea dweller...tough call

Hank · 14 March 2018, 12:33 AM

My current duo but I wouldn't mind a 5711 blue and white Daytona C combo.

The nice duo, PP5711 white & R116500 black.

zjd168 · 14 March 2018, 12:36 AM

I always think about that too. Current plan is either 5711 blue/Yg DD, or Daytona C white/5205R or 5712R. The issue is I don't want to pay premium for 5711 or the 500 C Daytona through.

But my dream combo will be PP minute repeater/YG DD. Hopefully can get there in 10 years :-)

This is roughly what was on my mind as well. I just wasn't sure if I'd go Daytona, SD4Kc, or SubC Date. I've never worn them, so it would most likely come down to whichever one I took to on the wrist.

That being said, the 5164A-001 is one of my favorite watches. A close second here would be the 5711/1A-011.

Wcdhtwn · 14 March 2018, 12:55 AM

I'd choose a blue dial Nautilus.

I need to bend the rules a little because I can narrow it down to four for now, but I can’t make it to two just yet. 🤦🏻

I have this pair in SS too. Love them. 5712 is my third fave SS, and D500 fourth. I'd happily mix and match thru these.

Tan · 14 March 2018, 01:09 AM

Explorer II and 5196

Amazing set, and that's without your best PP imho.

Xerxes77 · 14 March 2018, 01:12 AM

I think it’s a perfect combo!

Chiboy · 14 March 2018, 01:13 AM

I'd do 116506 and 5522A (Pilot Calatrava, NY edition of 600).

Next to my Sub, i would add one of these 3: 5711/1A-o1o, 5711R or 5726/1A-oo1.

I really like this combo. Very nice!!!

dmash · 14 March 2018, 02:37 AM

With what's currently offered, I'd say:

SubC Date + 5711 Blue

With what I believe is released within the next few years:

SD43 all white text + 5196G @ 38mm w/ larger movement

There's a lot of crazy options in PM or with complications you could mix things up with. However, on a two watch collection, I feel you need to stick to the basics to have you covered in every situation. Essentially a 'sport + dressier' combo.
