Hope you enjoy this video, really love to hear your comments which model do you prefer and why? Apologies to anyone who watched this video when I first posted it on Wednesday 5th April but took it down later that day after I realised the audio quality was not what it needed to be. After returning from being away this week, I have now re-recorded and reuploaded this video.

[@notenoughtime7274]

Since I made this video, I’m excited to have just been allocated the Patek Calatrava 6119G last week. New video focused on this to follow shortly

[@alanparks7919]

Owning both brands, I have to agree...the Calatrava would be my choice. Having said that, Rolex has done a fantastic job with the new 1908. However, Patek has been widely known for dress watches, while Rolex for their sports watches. I believe that Patek will hold their value much better with the Calatrava. I prefer the thinner case of manual-wind watches for dress. You can’t go wrong with either model!

[@danielwillismsburg9823]

Excellent video and comparison Also prefer the Patek but prefer the rose gold and white

[@notenoughtime7274]

Thank you, very kind and I’m pleased you enjoyed

[@carterjones5944]

Like the context on the heritage and vintage on these watches. Also prefer the Calatrava in black and white gold That silvery dial wins

[@notenoughtime7274]

Thank you, pleased you enjoyed

[@dylanjacobson8411]

This and the last few videos have been my favourite Enjoying this channel

[@notenoughtime7274]

Thank you, appreciated. Means a lot

[@michaelbradley6488]

My preference is a manual wind movement, that said the 1908 is quite attractive. I prefer the lugs on the Rolex.

[@carnipex99]

Love my Cellini Danaos but the Cellini Prince in white gold from a decade ago is also a long term target! The 1908 looks great in all its forms too. Great video thanks

[@notenoughtime7274]

Great call out. The Cellini Prince is beautiful. Love the 1920s inspired design.

I love my Patek 1972 Calatrava with auto movement, though it is thin as 6mm Buckley dial in yellow gold. I don't think you need to. Line up for 1908 asoat people are keeping eyes on those sport models only. I still find the diamond is too large for dress watch, 33-36 is perfect for me, of course my wrist is 17.5 cm only

[@notenoughtime7274]

Thanks for sharing and interesting to hear about your own Calatrava

[@Mr_Moon42]

I like the way the 1908 looks more.

[@chrisrussell63]

The 1908 is not available in rose gold. Only yellow or white. I really liked the Patek 6119 when I first saw it, but the Rolex 1908 has pushed it off the table. In comparison the 6119 looks a bit overdone, a bit too 'presh'.

[@paulsymonds820]

I agree, I’m also waiting for the 6119G it’s stunning!

[@notenoughtime7274]

Good luck, I hope it arrives soon for you. Enjoy

[@juliefantassi6333]

Love the format and really like these vs comparison videos Rose gold white 1908 for me please !

[@notenoughtime7274]

Thank you, appreciated and pleased you enjoyed

[@davidbrown9947]

Great video and analysis , from London, UK . I am on the list for the 1908, I cannot justify the extra 10 k on the PP??

[@notenoughtime7274]

Thanks so much, really appreciated. I hope you enjoy your 1908 when it arrives Beautiful watch

[@robinbanderman4151]

1908 black and rose dial for me

[@LongHoang-ho9eb]

By tomorrow I have to decide, but still undecide now. I like the Patek but like the auto movement.....

[@notenoughtime7274]

Which 1908 ? Since I made this video Rolex released the platinum with the ice blue guilloche dial. Right now the value of that vs the Patek is compelling given they’re the same price. I went for the Patek last year but right now I’d do the same

[@TheGaztela]

Muy bonito el Rolex, mucho más que los habituales

[@notenoughtime7274]

Thank you. Pleased you enjoyed

[@garykirscher9456]

The patek 6119 is $32,000 the 1908 is $22;000.

[@FABM27]

good point

[@paulip485]

Good channel, keep. It up

[@notenoughtime7274]

Thanks you, very kind. Appreciated

[@mell3109]

Rolex lied about stating it was the first waterproof watch.

[@andrejensen7837]

Its strange when you consider the price of gold, it seems like the price only goes up with the value of gold ?..

[@DWilliam1]

Open case back means less gold…

[@andrejensen7837]

@@DWilliam1 didn't thought about that true

[@Ray.J]

The real winner is the consumer, who now has another choice.

[@grammarboy1318]

The 1908 is a really impressive looking dress watch from Rolex, but overpriced compared to the competition (new vs. new). If you’re just looking for a gold dress watch and are brand agnostic there are many options, particularly if you’re prepared to buy on the secondary market - Cartier, Breguet etc. In this comparison, Patek wins imo.

[@notenoughtime7274]

Thank you - great perspective

[@T.Q.]

King of Zamunda 😂

[@annkennedy1831]

As a Rolex President owner, I was extremely disappointed in the trash from Rolex. Even Timex would have been ashamed of the emoji wheels! At least the 1908 offers some potential for future.

[@jamesleung8679]

They are not in the same class, just like Mercedes benz and Rolls-Royce.

[@notenoughtime7274]

nice analogy!

[@VWatchie]

I’m afraid this might be like trying to compare apples and oranges. It doesn’t really make sense.

[@billchambers3737]

Calatrava. No contest. For now…

[@richardrooms9509]

[@grammarboy1318]

I assume you mean PP? A strong indication that you literally don’t know what you’re talking about in the rest of your comment.
