What about a ref 5444. Portuguese regulator in steel with blue numerals?

Go with you, Nelson.
Instead of a wrist shot, a desk shot with hang tag.
I would add the Ingenieur ref. 3508 500.000 A/m
For me its this watch from my collection.
It's simple design and best perpetual calendar one can think of.
It's my little Patek
I totally agree, Jarrod.
Very special watch and material combination.
I love it!
As Jim posted, it has to be my CFDV which was not so much under appreciated as generally derided. It was avoided by IWC collectors like the plague. I liked it then and I like it now.
I'm in the tonneau camp too. It took me two years, but I got it eventually!

Wow Steff - that one is really cool! What a dial!
I think the Pilots watch UTC is also under appreciated. A very comfortable watch with a very useful UTC function.
Kind regards,

The 3712-07... the Portuguese Rattrapante Japan...
A little know but in my opinion stunning watch. My love for watches started with the Portuguese 3712... as a student, over 15 years ago.
In 2011 when I stumbled upon this stunning piece in Germany I just had to add it to my collection. The beauty of the classic 3712 combined with the groundbreaking rattrapante by Richard Habring... and all of it could be admired through the see-through case back (the Japan version produced in a series of 100 pieces is the only one with a factory original see-through).
Fun fact about this watch is that to identify it (as the previous owner had lost the original warranty card), the wizards in Schaffhausen had to take the complete rattrapante module off to be able to read the movement nr on the base movement).
