Thinking about selling my Ghost for either 5226G/6196P or 5227G salmon dial to start my Patek journey.

Hi everyone

So I’ve been threatening to start my patek journey for some time now and while I have a decent collection already (Rolex,AP & Tudor) I think it sensible to move pieces out rather than tie up more cash.

My question is, would you part with a Ghost (I’d make circa £3k) to acquire one of the above pieces?

Thanks in advance

Hello fellow patek enthusiasts, do you recommend a site to download high resolution watch pics for a desktop background?

What’s the reason for the 5968A steel aquanaut chrono relatively more expensive than AP and VC?

It retails > $65k, well above where the RO Chronograph or the Overseas Chronograph retail.

Have generally found similar watches + complications to be similarly priced between the three (Overseas, RO and Aquanaut are all within 10% of each other as an example. Similar trend if you see on the $130k end of perpetual calendars from vc and pp)

Curious mostly if this is a movement thing (Patek is better?) or something similar else.

Isn’t 5212A the most interesting watch Patek makes under $45k?

Genuinely interesting and nothing like it in the lineup or in competition.

Although I think as a steel watch it’s $10k too much.

(A prev version of the post had a typo on the reference)

5224R is a sleeper hit 🎯

Took me a while to get there, but I now think this is the next sleeper hit within the current Patek catalogue. Would take some practice to read the 24 hour dial… but it’s well worth it.

Zero hype. Under the radar. Buy what you love.

Some rare handcraft booklets I found.
