One and done non-sports modern Patek under 50k

Rolex Forums - Rolex Forum Rolex Forums - Rolex Forum at1228

Outside of the sports lines, what would you choose as your one and only modern Patek under $50k (grey)? Considering the usual suspects: 5205, 5212, 5226, 5326 (stretch). Not all that interested in 6119 given how it sat on my ~6.5" wrist.

I have tried some but not all these references in person. Will obviously try on a lot more pieces before I pull the trigger on anything, and I realize this is entirely personal preference, so I won’t be making this decision just based on other people’s opinions. But I respect the TRF community and recognize it’s got lots of more experienced collectors here that are generous in sharing their wisdom, so humbly request their opinions to supplement my limited own.

I have a reasonable collection of Rolex (DD, GMT, Sub, etc) and a couple dress ALS (L1, 1815), so this is not an only watch for me or a daily and doesn’t need to fill any specific "needs" or check any unchecked boxes in my collection. Just looking for suggestions and, importantly, WHYs. Thank you!
