Hard because a Patek is a... Patek ! But ... The 116619 is one of the best looking watches to my eyes so that one for me and offcourse the look and feel of white gold is much nicer.

I will go for PP in this case + a SS Sub. Love the caseback and the mini rotor.
Or I just get a YG Sub. |

Both great watches but different in IMHO, if you will gain value more from Dressy then PP if you need robust daily wearer go Sub.

I love Rolex to death, but would have to go Nautilus on this one. As a rule of thumb, any watch i buy under $15000 has to be a Rolex, and any watch over that (Not that i presently can afford it) has to be a PP.

That's not my favorite Patek so I vote for the sub.

With the WG Sub your talking about an $8,000 watch that costs $36,000 because of the gold. With the PP your looking at the cost being in the movement and the craftsmanship. For me I would rather put my money into the movement and craftsmanship.

My brother worked on Patek's website a few years ago and was able to learn a lot about the company, it really made me understand that all of the luxury watch makers are really fairly equal ... Pateks costs and craftsmanship are not much different than Rolex,AP,JLC for 90% of their watches ... its that last 10% that makes them special, but the watch under discussion is not in that last 10%. For all watches in this category their cost is greater than the sum of their parts, its just that Patek is able to charge more thank JLC/AP/Rolex. My bet is that the raw cost of the Patek is pretty much the same (+/-15%) as the SS Sub but their retail prices are about 300% higher on Patek. A lot of the secrecy around these companies, Patek and Rolex in particular is to make it difficult for people to really understand that they are at their core, assembly line style manufactures, no different in process than the perceived differences between VW -> Audi -> Porsche -> Lamborghini -> Bugatti in the car world, the same processes are used across the board, just with different materials and scale.
