Do not fall into the trap of thinking Patek Philippe is at the pinnacle of watch manufacturers, they have not held that position for many decades. Most of their stuff is meh as far as design is concerned, and execution isn't all that stellar some of the time. But like Rolex, they have that reputation that gives them a pass for many people. I can think of a LOT of watches I'd buy at the $30k mark before this one got to the top of the list.

Agree to disagree. Patek, AP, VC and JLC are still clearly a little above the rest.
Langè beats all of them !
