sorry but I can't dissuade from you!
Its one of the most beautiful Pateks I have ever laid my eyes on!! under-appreciated, I might say. I think the perfection all comes together in the RG package, IMO. The case proportions are just right and trump the 5059 on any day.
For me, the kids college education ended up taking priority; but maybe some day

)Hope this helps (or not)
Wife looked at catalouge, pointed to this
PHOTO CREDIT: EWC PHOTO CREDIT: TBD I was browsing through a Patek catalouge that that the Geneva boutique gave us a couple years ago and my wife said "I've never looked at that... may I?" I handed it her like you hand your 1st born to a stranger and she ...
Sorry but she has a strong taste :)
Well, this is the kind of things that happens: you never looked seriously at a watch but one day, for any reason, you just consider it for a minute... and then you realise it is very nice. It happened to me with this ref. and I went to try it on. It was r...

Mark, Abe - thanks for your kind words
Abe, it's always heartening to me when I read that other gentlemen PuristS are also faced with such choices - then reality takes over and the decision is made for you. It's fun to look, research, and luxuriate in the possibility of ownership... or even ju...
Well I guess it is more a mater of you are used to wearing your watches
Personally, I wear only one watch for a period of 1 to several months in a row (the others are in the bank). So, if I had this watch or even a Repetition Minute, I would wear it the same way as I like wearing them like an everyday watch. But if you are us...
Your wife has good taste in pateks.
This gives you clearance to buy. Why don't you. But get what sings to your heart. & tickles your funny bone. Best Geross
your wife has immaculate taste...
...and there is little else that compares to the beauty of this reference..but it has a younger brother, 5153, which ofcourse is not as as complicated as this, but offered with a black dial, the reference has immense charm for me..the central dial space w...
Once your wife is in - who can stop you?
This PP is a nice watch for life. Apparently you've got all the mental support you need. And after that purchase, just hide such catalogues from her for a while. ;)
Patek's most remontic offering, in RG in particular as abe is saying too.
It offers even an hinge back that allows you to personalise it with an engraving or lets you put a picture in. A watch for life. Moritz
I agree with her
This is by far the most aesthetically appealing watch currently available from any manufacturer (IMO). In a couple of years when my 5146 goes in for service, who know's, I may break down and get one. I actually prefer the WG version, but both are stunning...
