Hi everyone, I recently had the luck of fortune to be able to afford a few watches this year. Namely the Pepsi on jubilee, Batgirl and an AP ROO 43mm black. But after a lengthy conversation with a friend I am sort of thinking to go the 1 watch per brand route. Do you think it’s wise to trade all 3 for a PATEK 5164a? Would you do it? Also I recently became a dad and the patek line came to mind “you never really own a patek you just look after it for the next generation” also plan on getting an RO next year if I go this route.

From a strictly value standpoint it makes a bit of sense. Hard to tell without seeing the exact ROO, but lets say 20k on the Pepsi, 15k on the Batgirl, and 25k on the ROO is I think generous - giving about 60k in value. That aquanaut trades in the high 60s so that would have you “winning”. Problem is that it’s not a 60k watch, and since you’re never selling it then you actually lose the deal.
Definitely would move one of the GMT II’s, you could get an Overseas, might have to add a bit of cash to go blue but it’s worth it.
Patek I would save for their 5231 worldtimer or one of the grand complications. Or I’d go the opposite route and just get a bare bones Aquanaut, maybe an older model, for close to retail
