New School vs Old School
Let’s imagine these were the exact same cost… which would you go for?
Given the same case material, same movement, and same dial layout, the current 6159G and the recent 5160/500G are identical in all aspects but their designs.
The 6159 is a sporty, modern take on a historically dressy/refined complication, while the 5160 boasts gorgeous hand engraving on every surface. Although it’s a very particular look- you don’t see engraving like that from Patek very often, much less at this price point.
