My First Patek - 3 candidates which one?
Patek fans,I have now tried 3 Pateks I fancy hands-on and I genuinely like them all. Which one should I buy?The watch will be used primarily with a suit, but versatility is a clear bonus.My current collection includes watches in the sport-dress categories: Rolex 116619 (WG), IWC Portuguese 5001-01 (YG), AP ROO Black Themes (Steel). 1. 5205R Black Dial.PROS: Simply stunning.CONS: Very dressy and flashy. Risk of being overdressed at work. Maybe slightly too small.2. 5164.PROS: Very comfortable and versatile. Great look and watch presence. GMT function.CONS: Rubber with a suit. Maybe too much the casual lifestyle watch.3. 5276 White Dial.PROS: Very beautiful and versatile. Love the moon calendar. It goes with everything. CONS: Right in between a sports watch and a dress watch. Which one should be my first Patek?
