Watchfinder & Co. presents:
If you’ve got your sights set on a classic Daytona 116520, the pre-ceramic model, then there’s probably not much else out there that might turn your fancy. You’re unlikely to be swayed by an Omega, or a Breitling, probably not even a Jaeger-LeCoultre—but what about a Patek Philippe? And not just any old Patek Philippe, but a complicated one in white gold, no less. How does the Daytona look now?

I would have bought it in second had there been a date feature.
Patek, anyday and anytime.
i love rolex, a GMT II is going to be my second watch (currently on a tag aquaracer), but Patek Philippe is simply in a different realm than rolex.
it cost an arm and an leg to service this watch. Still i rather drive a old rolls royce than a new toyota.
“Spanning the wrist at an undersized 37mm”… You’re speaking my language as someone with a 6.25” wrist it’s perfect for me in a world where everyone has fat wrists it’s hard for us little guys to find a decent watch that doesn’t look too big for our arm. Too bad there doesn’t seem to be any of these in the country i live in…
datona is doper
No mention of the price in this whole video …
I dare you to find a more boring watch than this.
My gut feeling is Patek over Rolex, though either would be phenomenal.
Too bad most of the Pateks are ugly as hell. I’ve owned them…Rolex gets my money now. If you look at the best watch from an overall standpoint, Rolex is where it’s at. Durability, resale value, aesthetics – Rolex! Patek are a marvel of craftsmanship but they’re fragile as eggs, ugly as hell, and most don’t see the investment value of Rolex (save for a few exceptions)…
Rolex is over hyped and over priced.
Patek!
Obviously the patek. It’s a no brainer
My Casio F-91W is still the bomb. Quite literally.
Patek without any doubt
PP
You’re not going to find these for less than a Daytona these days.
I bought my girlfriend this watch after seeing this video. She loves it. I think it’s an amazing piece. But would not be caught dead wearing one.
Without a doubt I would take the Patek. A much better chance of an increase in value vs. daytona over time.
Hands-down I would choose the Patek over the Rolex Daytona any day.
I never liked large wristwatches. Ugh, butt ugly.
Great video as always Patek always has the edge against any contenders
I wish Vacheron was the gold the rolls royes standard and not Patek. It has a nicer name.
Patek all day long. Rolex bores me.
Both
Daytona does nothing for me. So twist my arm and I’ll take the Patek.
I’ve got 20k spare shall I buy a used porsche 911 or a PP?
Two different types of watches! Apples and Oranges!
stunning watch , some of us may say , small isnt back , it never went away.
Patek it is!
i find them totally different looking watches….don’t think they should be compared…
Patek and it is not even close
Whats wrong with the seconds hand?
Ugly as hell…..
SOLD!!!
Appreciate your valuable short review on Breguet, Jagaer le coulter and Blancpain….all automatic dress watches
“money in the bank”
There is nothing worse than having your money in a bank !
Patek Philippe the plain one
Unpopular opinion and certainly not one that would sway anyone: But I just can’t love a watch with numbers, especially one stylized like the Calatrava above. If only it was Roman numerals, I’d swoon already :/
i like small watches. i hve a thin wrist(7 in, very tin for a male) and large watch(~40mm) looks funny on me. PP anytime
The Patek Philippe every time. The Rolex Daytona is a great watch however the Patek Philippe is an amazing watch and will look classical all its life whereas the Daytona will always command good money and return it well, but will always look a little dated, this isn’t a bad thing because for some Rolex will always be king, but for the extra special, enigmatic and almost magical it will always be Patek Philippe. Especially this model. As I love manual winding movements for me this one is very special.
Patek Philippe, like that’s even a serious question.
the number font is just so comic sans to me i can’t take it seriously
I don’t like either and for the same money you can get a gold ap royal oak https://www.chrono24.com/audemarspiguet/yellow-gold-royal-oak-watch-ref-4100–id9059000.htm
The comparison between these two models is a bit odd. The Patek in this video is basically a GMT while the Rolex Daytona is a chronograph. A better or closer comparison for the Patek might be the Rolex GMT Master II?
