Show us your Grail Dress Watch

[RobbieG]

This time around let's see the softer side of time guys. I am just now coming around to really start appreciating fine and way understated beauty. I am getting really close to pulling the trigger on a Grande Lange 1. Classic, understated, yet elegant and unique. The perfect size at 41.8MM. So here she is front and back. Now show me yours...

Patek Philippe Ref. 5013.

Anyone got an extra $460,000 they could lend me for it that would be great thanks.

The Lange 1 has always been my ultimate grail as well, but I am not going to pay the price for a gen & the reps of this watch are all rubbish.

But these have been tiding me over

The Patek Gondolo Chronometro is my Grail dress watch. I will let the picture do the talking.

I would say than PP sky moon tourbillion but in the meantime the 5135

What no Subs?

What no Subs?

The theme is dress watches.

Love that one. In the end, however, I think for dress I prefer simplicity. The Calatrava is one of my favorites:

Patek Phillipe Calatrava 18k white gold

[StormTooper4]

It has to be PP

[Guest acg2010]

This one for sure:

especially since the reps all crop out from Sec at 6

3717 for me too;

For those liking the Patek Calatrava and other two hand slim pieces, may I suggest something with the same theme, even more refined and certainly less fragile. That is one problem with Patek's that has kept me from ever considering one. While classic and pretty and elegant, they really are very delicate. Kinda like a Ferrari. They gotta be in the shop a lot. I am partial to Porsche cause you can drive 'em into the ground and barely have to put oil in them. LOL

Anyway, The VC Patrimony is a respectable 40MM so it stands up a little better. It comes in manual and auto with small seconds or date respectively. Here is a nice shoot of one on TZ:

Being a Ebel 1911 fan and all... I wouldn't mind this. I don't want to know how much it costs though.

[Manitou]

This is the utmost in class as far as I'm concerned :-)

[bigpops]

It has to be the Richard Lange, though i do love the Lange 1 too.

[chefcook]

a classic Datejust in all steel or white rolesor, dial as simple as possible and without any bling. Understated, classy, convenient.

[Sir-Lancelot]

Maybe not a dress watch for some, but for me

@emuozz:

Exactly the same for me, the PP Calendario. White gold with grey dial is awesome too. I've had the pleasure of trying this on a couple of times in the ADs at the Wynn, Las Vegas and at Ben Bridge in Ala Moana Center, Honolulu. It looks so much better in person!

I would say than PP sky moon tourbillion but in the meantime the 5135

See? Some people consider a Sub a dress watch.

[By-Tor]

Hmm... full gold 1680. You don't see many of those.

[scoobs1971]

The JLC Master Hometime is a holy grail dress watch I would actually buy if I would have the money.

The other two are dream watches and should only appear in dreams

[pizzanooo]

This one is the one I dearly would love to own.
