Which 3 from the Holy Trinity? (original)
I blame @Adi365 and @Watch9 for this.
If you had to pick one watch from the catalog of the Holy Trinity (AP, VC and Patek), how would you construct your Holy Trinity 3 watch collection? (1 watch from each brand)
My 3 picks are in the photos (sadly I do not yet own any of them)

Very solid
Honestly the 1921 would be my VC pick if I didn’t hold the 222 as my grail

Solid. I love the vintage (inspired) choices
Vacheron Constantin Malte Small Seconds White Gold
Patek Philippe 6007G - CALATRAVA SELF-WINDING
AUDEMARS PIGUET CODE 11.59 BY MINUTE REPEATER SUPERSONNERIE
Those are solid choices Kevin. Of those, I think I’d take the Calatrava. But the Codes are growing on me.
I like rare and unusual pieces so, JLC , Patek, and Vacheron for me.
The Aquanaut by far If the VC were all in stainless steel that would be my choice, but in yellow gold it is a watch that I would wear once a year, if it were like the Rolex Yatch Master with a rubber strap it would look less formal

So what’s your 3 from those 3 brands?
Vacheron Constantin
Easily the VC222
Patek 5740 - Vacheron 222 - AP 15510ST.OO.1320ST.06
Do I get any say in this? 😅

222
Only in my dreams.

The Aquanaut. I’ve always loved that watch. If I had the money and the choice, though, I would get the 5164-A.
Can I have 3 Vacheron Constantines instead ? 😅
A 222, a Calatrava with the hobnail bezel, and the most expensive AP possible so I could sell it and get a nice ALS or two.
That salmon dial is 🔥
Well here’s my pick:
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 14790ST salmon dial
Patek philippe aquanaut 5868
Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle 82172/000R-9888
VC: 222

Thumbs up for millenary. Not a lot of love for this, but always respect someone who likes the bold look

Remastered 1 by AP is pretty cool. I don't love the ginormous 12, but I love the dial color
Do I get any say in this? 😅
Nope, you already won in life! Leave us plebs to enjoy our game 🤣
This is all I need right here
It’s a tough call - so many unique and different models… but I’ll have a go😁

Patek - Nautilus 5990
