    I'd lokk at it from the opposite side: which are the Patek to buy today?

    Choices wide....
    3940
    3970
    5270
    5070
    5110
    ...........

    Always look from the best prospective ;)

    Love these although personally I might substitute 5970 for 5270 as I find the dial better balanced.

    It’s not a negative. I don’t think anyone seeks a Tiffany dial but if it has one, then cool. But I don’t know they are sought out specifically for the dial.

    I agree but I was suggesting watches that are a "bargain" to buy today and 5270 is much lower than 5970 ;)

    I have a 5726-1A/010 (white dial)...I’m seeing asking prices online ranging ~$95-112K!
    :eek:
    Am I missing something?
    This can’t be real...

    Time to sell! If you DM me I can give you the number of a large watch dealer that will show you a firm bid. No affiliation just a guy I like. Then you can see how real the prices are!

    Thanks.
    I love my Patek and no intention of selling, was just shocked by what I was seeing on line.

    It seems like the 5110 is particularly good value at around $25k.

    I think a minimum of 300k a year for a good period of time and to get to know the factory folks or US executives might eventually get you some rare pieces. But most importantly, only buy if you really like it, not to get on some list.

    What do you Patek guys think of the 5205 series?
    I think they are classically beautiful, and currently their prices seem reasonable (by Patek standards).
    Collectible?

    Absolutely love it. Very classic dial. Actually was looking at the black dial version recently.

    I think it's safe to say "we" will now be waiting for another watch picture from yourself :)

    Gorgeous watch, simply gorgeous!
    I don't understand how Patek does it...simple yet organic and elegant.
    It is like the quote about Mozart in the movie Amadeus.... (paraphrase) "each note is perfect, there should be no more and no fewer."

    Sadly...I feel Ferrari used to have that approach...now there are many extra notes that I would take away, and other notes I would add. :)

    Probably more than I can currently afford but definitely a grail watch
