My 3 favorites

These 3 would be my top pieces if I could afford and could get them. Need to win the lotetry first ;-) not in any special order, I don't know which would be the first, second or third) All the pictures are not mine, googled and borrowed them. 5070P : Well...  

Well, I have simple tastes

I always choose the Best... Please note that this sentence is not from me, but from Oscar Wilde, who knew a lot about Good Life! I share, from these 3, one with you, Bruno: The 5070P...A gorgeous watch in this combination platinum + blue dial! Then, half ... 

For Nicolas

... these 3 would certainly be part of my collection. First the watch that brought back the virus to me: 5102 G, but unfortunately completely out of my reach ... . Second: 5070P thanks to your beautiful pics you keep posting of this one Third: The Gondolo... 

Well, if you like 5070P pictures ...

I took these almost a year ago when I had the pleasure to see it in person. And no, they don't come any better than this ! ;-) ps, withhin a few months I will get the chance to take pics from the 5131J . Really looking forward to this...  

in order : 5970R- 5070P- 5712A... why???

 
 By: kkhazen : July 12th, 2009-02:57
... now its much easier to say i love them in all kind of metal, which is true, the reason i put: 1- 5970 Rose: over the yellow, that has a vintage feel that suits that watch, i find the rose to have the best combo of warmth and class. As a metal, i think... 

I dream of this PP trio...

 
 By: Rob : July 12th, 2009-03:29
5016 in either rose gold/yellow gold, 5078 with white dial to satisfy enamel lust and finally the quintessential PP, the wonderful perpetual chronograph in today's version, the venerable 5970. In any metal please

Out of your three choices...................

 
 By: Topcat30093 : July 12th, 2009-04:12
I would certainly choice a 5970 but more likely in either P or G. And also a 5207P ,5016 or a 5074P I can dream!! LOL If I had to choice a chronograph, at the top would be a Lange & Sohne Datograph.

5016, 5971, 5131

You have great taste.....I have very similar taste also...:)

5016R, 5078P and 5970G....it will be complete *CL

Sure

 
 By: Dje : July 12th, 2009-06:49
Hi, Each man his choice ! I would be tempted to put the 5970P in the list, the 5070p too ! In fact and as we have to choose only three, here are my choices: The 5167A is my quite probable next and first Patek Philippe, not my favourite but I like it much ...  

My choice of the Top 3 ....

.... currently waiting for one other to fill that 3rd piece. Would be none other than ref . hopefully, i can use an actual photo when i take delivery. To be continued ...........  

Here are my 3

which happen to be very special because they make up my humble and eclectic PP collection. And while they are no where near the top of the line by any means or even considered to be "dream watches", I still love them nonetheless, as each one is quite diff...  

Simple and celestial

 
 By: respo : July 12th, 2009-08:13
My favorites are the 5098P and 5102. The first is to me the ultimate for a time-only dress watch by a major manufacturer. It is sublime. I wish its movement were restricted solely to this model, but it is still a rarey used movement in the PP lineup (only... 

Nice to dream...

Top 3

 
 By: Baron - Mr Red : July 12th, 2009-12:52
Top watch for me is the 5070P. Anyone ever watch a film called "Big Fish". It is one weird film, but it has this immortal line..."Some fish can't be caught. It's that they are touched by something extra.". As a watch, the 5070P is, in my opinion, touched ... 

One of each kind

 
 By: Ares501 - Mr Green : July 12th, 2009-15:04
From simple watches 5124J from complicated watches 5135R from grand complications 5102 Cheers Damian

I don't own any Patek yet...

 
 By: δΈ­ι‡Žγ‚Œγ„ : July 12th, 2009-19:19
But I'd say 5070P is the first that comes to mind if I had a big FAT savings a/c. 5040/5140 would follow and maybe just a simple Aquanaut will do? I don't know, am not really a hardcore Patek fan but 5070P is definitely a beauty Bruno, we agree on that!

Bruno, good topic and I like your list

 
 By: tahoeblue : July 12th, 2009-21:10
It seems we have similar tastes and goals. I have not strived to own the repeaters or super complications (and perhaps their price is a big part of the reason......). For a watch to be especially desirable to me it must be somewhere within reach to own an...

3. 5970J 2. 5970G 1. 5970P I just absolutely love this range and would definately buy all 3 if i could afford them. R's Sid

Why just 3 when you could go for the "magnificent 7"

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : July 13th, 2009-04:26
Why just the 3 when you could go for the "magnificent 7" ........ 5070P 5970P 5101P or R 5074P 5078p 5980/1A (you have to have a Nautilus) and one for the wife........4910/52G

its no wonder there is a premium

 
 By: Baron - Mr Red : July 13th, 2009-04:50
I remember doing this same survey a few months ago, and waht struck me was how similar the results of this one are. 5070 anc 5970 consistently hit top polling. We are all PP fans, yet these two watches poll highest amongst PP fans. It is no wonder the pre... 

I find it interesting that only Damian chose . . .

 
 By: Dr No : July 13th, 2009-04:53
. . . a rectangular model. A 5105 for me, please, and a 2554 and 5000 to round out the balance. A 2554 is shown on the right in this photo . . . . . . cordially, Art...  

I think for me it is...

 
 By: TimAbz : July 13th, 2009-09:41
...in no particular order... 5078P - pure sound, simple dial...perfection. 5004P - complex, delicate, great proportions (i know some others find it too thick). 5101P - hidden complexity, deco look,....heft. And the ultimate...5016P....fabulous....!! Tim

Three is not enough :)

 
 By: schen : July 13th, 2009-11:31
However if I could possibly have any but only three Patek's, I'd pick 2556, 2526 and 2438/1.

So simple..

 
 By: DDW : July 13th, 2009-14:10
1. 2526R 2. 3700A 3. 5970R(so I have some buttons and complications to fiddle with ;-)) Ciao, D

5070P, 5960, and 5450

 
 By: drehy : July 13th, 2009-16:39
One can dream, no? But something that I could actually achieve is 5146G, 5711/1A, and 5980

Difficult...

 
 By: Grisar : July 15th, 2009-08:43
There are too many lovely choices...if we are talking about the modern Pateks. Group "affordable" - 5110P - 5970/3970 - 5712A Group "dream watches" - 5078P - 5004P - 5016P

All three in Plati......
