Patek for beginner

[wtcf90]

Firstly, hello I am new to the forum :-)

I am just beginning to collect RW's and in particular am keen on Pateks.

I am in the UK and have searched through the list of dealers but can't seem to find the watch I'm looking for. To give you an idea of what I am looking for -

Choice 1 **any color and material variation of 5146**

Choice 2

I wondered if anyone could take pitty on a naive beginner and give me some advice as to whether these models are likely to be available and where I might begin

Thanks you

Here is one: Patek

I don't think it is very accurate though.

This one is nice though: Patek

Or you could go with the most accurate Patek reps available: nautilus Aquanaut

There are also some decent Calatrava replicas available.

[If you see Kay]

the only "half decent" Calatrava rep I know of is the ref3919, as it is true to the 34mm diameter. But, the roman numeral font is still a bit on the narrow side.

as mentioned, the aquanauts are pretty good reps.
