Why no MB&F? You know, true creativity and freedom of mechanical design and engineering.

I agree that those are certainly beautiful watches, but they both retail north of $160k. A Legacy Machine Split Escapement will come in under the $100k limit (after tax).

Too heavy.

Lange 1815 chronograph, black dial.

nicky77 · 1 December 2020, 03:41 AM

Lange Zeitwerk Date
an MB&F
Urwerk
or a nice Patek (probably a perpetual calendar)

ELLimon · 1 December 2020, 05:21 AM

I’ll limit my self to a watch that does not lose half of its value after I walk out of the AD with it.

For that reason,

Platinum Daytona, rainbow Daytona (don’t think is in budget) , Patek nautilus or AP royal oak.

26579CE - black ceramic perpetual calendar, although checking it's now $102k USD after the recent price bump. Just outside of the $100k limit!

The 26579CE was my first thought as well. The Pateks I like are either below or above the 100k mark. The Lange I like are all substantially below. So AP this time around...

Yeah although platona also comes to mind

Watchflair · 1 December 2020, 06:37 AM

I'm going with a Patek in this instance - might keep it simple with a 5712. That would basically check all the boxes for me...

Excellent point. Hey, it's only currency and trillions become available yearly for the taking

And in this case, imaginary currrency at that! I tried the LM2 in white gold with purple dial and it's stunning in the metal.

PurpleDial · 3 December 2020, 12:35 AM

I´d go all time classics like a 3970 or a more modern sized 5270.

Mr. Drunmond · 10 December 2020, 09:33 AM

Zeitwerk Striking time, it lists a bit above OPs limit, but with my shrewd negotiations i think i can get it for 100k USD.

mps354 · 10 December 2020, 01:09 PM

Lange zeitwerk date or FPJ chronometre optimum first came to mind

Token74 · 13 December 2020, 05:00 AM

If my only watch, the Patek 5740. If to compliment my current collection, the RM67-02

Sirocco · 14 December 2020, 07:01 AM

FP Journe Chronomètre Optimum would be really nice

The Royal Oak Skeleton is stunning as well.

But if I go vintage I would pick a Patek 3970EP up

BradSomrak · 14 December 2020, 09:32 AM

5711. Easy.

I'd get a PCC Patek.

As opposed to all the other pointless and anachronistic wrist adornments? Mate, I love watches, you love watches, but they're all nothing more than socially-acceptable jewellery for men.

Waitlisted Watches · 21 December 2020, 08:53 PM

Nautilus 5740/1G

travisb · 22 December 2020, 12:15 AM

This makes my brain hurt.

Too many great watches. I'll let you know when I'm gifted the 100k.

2bigalow · 23 December 2020, 02:03 AM

AP - Royal Oak perpetual calendar.
Ultra thin would be the ultimate choice, but over the 100K mark
