Should I consider to trade my quit new Audemars P. 15300 (some years old) with the inhouse 3120 with a Patek P. 5196 (hand-w. cal.215, 12years old, good cond.)?

Which one do you prefer to keep/own?
Which one is "more useful"?

COMPARISON:

AP: Steel, special design, newer, new movement, date, autom., central second hand.

PP: Gold, traditional design, older model, old movement, non-date, hand-w., sub second hand.

your AP is beautiful,and versatile in formal or casual attire! I will keep the AP!

time · 6 February 2009, 12:46 AM

SORRY... I meant 5096...not the new and bigger 5196.

boa2 · 6 February 2009, 01:13 AM

I would keep the AP and save for a Calatrava.

scimps · 26 May 2013, 07:30 PM

definately dont trade IMHO

benlee · 26 May 2013, 07:34 PM

Keep the AP.

travisb · 26 May 2013, 07:53 PM

15300

Watcheroo · 26 May 2013, 08:45 PM

Depends what look you're going for. I'd keep the AP.

Cheers!

Soly20 · 26 May 2013, 09:34 PM

Keep the AP. It is a versatile watch, you can wear it sporty or formal. The Calatrava on the other hand is more of a formal watch. Save up for the Calatrava if you like it.

nick c · 26 May 2013, 09:57 PM

Keep it

Rashid.bk · 26 May 2013, 11:03 PM

diver2012 · 26 May 2013, 11:05 PM

No way. Keep the AP!

AshAP · 26 May 2013, 11:42 PM

Keep the AP. The Patek looks like many other less expensive watches. The idea that low to mid priced Pateks hold their value must be an urban myth as my experience is that they realise a similar % to AP.

KWongyaowarat · 27 May 2013, 12:23 AM

Do not trade. 15300 is a great piece!!

ummm, AP

AK797 · 27 May 2013, 01:56 AM

I think the question is now does he trade the Patek he bought years ago for a 400?

QueueCumber · 27 May 2013, 02:47 AM

I wouldn't trade that AP for that particular Patek...

Time Exposure · 27 May 2013, 03:31 AM

I say trade the Packard for the Duesenberg.

Whoops. Wrong thread resurrection.

benlee · 27 May 2013, 05:03 AM
