Hi All,

I am looking to purchase my first Patek. We do have an AD here but nothing in the current catalog is super enticing to me outside of a 5712 which I won't hold my breath on so look at other options.

I am not a fan of vintage watches and want something automatic newer than 2000. I also like more subtle watches and have a smaller wrist (I daily a 36mm Explorer most days). I'd consider a new Calatrava if they had one in White Dial/Brown Strap

What would be the most bang for the buck as a first Patek among the following list? Any pros or cons on them? Are the prices I have next to them realistic for a full set of box and papers?

5146G White/Cream Dial - 35k for set?
3940G White Dial/Brown Strap - 60-70k for set?
5140G White Dial/Brown Strap - 40-50k for set?
5320G Cream Dial - 70k for set?


Any others references that you would consider? Would love to keep it below 50k which rules out the 5550P
