The most popular Patek Philippe here?
By: amanico : June 2nd, 2018-16:35
I am curious to see what is the most popular and the most favorite Patek, here. When I browse our Patek forum, modern watches are more often discussed than vintage. That's one thing. Now, among the moderns, we can see that the most often posted are the Na...

My Favorite!

The Patek Philippe 3940! I love that watch. ...
The 5110P seems to be the leader in "ooohs" and "ahhhs"
By: descartes1 : June 2nd, 2018-18:44
But I'm a little biased. . (The 5711, 5070 and 5164 are close runners up). Of course, the 5370 and 5970 always make people drool but those are in a whole different league in my book in terms of rarity, complexity and cost. ...
Ok,
By: baufoam : June 2nd, 2018-18:53
I LOVE the Patek Philippe 3970 as well! ...

Thread carefully!

Softly softly. This is sacred ground for some people.
Really like the looks but unfortunately

I m not happy with the pushers ,bringing a 40k watch into the water with a chance of waterdamage in case of an accidental pushing , it is not the risk i m looking for ,for that particular reason i haven t bought the 5164.These are typically summer watches...
Some ppl win on the lottery some never find a dime on the street,maybe

I m too technical but that s one of the reason why i love mechanical devices ,first fully understand their function then study their weaknesses .a dresswatch with 30m WR (even with 10) is fine ,i keep in mind and take it off before i getting close to the ...
Most popular meaning the one most posted.....
By: Baron - Mr Red : June 3rd, 2018-00:42
.....would be between the 5711a, 5110, 5960a, 5131(!). Only on this forum could one have a 5131 as the most posted watch! Not sure which has the most posts. Which is most "favourite" ?? Impossible I think. Of those above, I would say my personal favourite...
I think forums could be misleading
By: Passionata_george : June 3rd, 2018-01:44
Since who else spending their precious time commenting and posting watches on forums that those damned junkies ;-) these kind of ppl do their best to get the most coveted pieces which are out of reach of the general public. We fully agree on the 5131 ,it ...
My opinon
By: Walter2 : June 3rd, 2018-01:38
The Nautilus may be is the most popular, but I am surprised about the hype the last 15 years. 20 years ago nobody wants a Nautilus. ((The AP RO (classic version !) always was searched )). The Aquas with rubber strap,- for me a PP had no rubber strap. This...
Good questions …
By: Cpt Scarlet : June 3rd, 2018-01:47
Without doubt you grow into Patek Philippe watches and in a collection they give great joy at different times in your life. The Nautilus is a fabulous piece of design and in years to come will still be admired. Next up is the 5070p it’s gorgeous and at th...
Well said, Cpt!
By: BMR : June 3rd, 2018-15:37
Particularly the last sentence. My sentiments exactly. 👌
Sorry Cpt., but I’m a bit confused.
By: BMR : June 4th, 2018-06:00
I agreed with your sentiment about not leaving watches in packages and enjoying them now because life can take unexpected turns at any moment. I think this is spot on, as I’ve had (probably most of us have had) family/friends taken away unexpectedly and t...
Sorry for any confusion …
By: Cpt Scarlet : June 4th, 2018-06:08
I agree with you sentiment. I was responding to another post above, about happy memories attached to our watches. Sorry for the confusion.
I love that story, Nico!
By: BMR : June 4th, 2018-11:37
I’ve spent some sleepless nights of my own under similar circumstances 😉
Mine is lost, too, unfortunately.
By: BMR : June 4th, 2018-14:27
I still hope to find it in one of the storage bins from my childhood. No luck so far, but I haven’t gone through everything yet. Cpt is right, though, the memory is the thing that can lives on, regardless.
