Agree fully.
It's something your loved ones passed on to you.
It has nothing to do with your preference but everything to do with your cherished memories of a loved one.
You can buy any watch in the world but not "that one" that is from your DAD. :Praying:

I am in agreement with everyone who have posted here. Please keep it. You may wish to wear it one day or wear it on special occasions only.

My dad recently passed me his patek aquanaut. To be frank not my cup of tea. Tot of selling it off to get a Panerai or Rolex Gmt.

Does your father plan to adopt any Godson?? I'm volunteering. 
Jokes aside. Keep the Patek. Somethings are priceless ..especially when it's PP or gifts from our parents.
When you have $$ in future, you can always buy whatever watches that you like/loved.
However a heritage or gift from your father...you'll cherish it till the day you die.  We all get old one day and can only look back on the sweet memories of our loved ones.

One more thing...  Your kids might not be too impressed one day when they learned you sold Grandpa's watch rather than handing it on.

Sell off a Patek to get a Rolex.. or shudder.. a Pam. Oh, what a blasphemy.

Seriously though, keep it. Sell it, and I am pretty sure you will regret it as you get older.

If you like the Rolex or the Pam at present, by all means, buy them.. but don't sell off the watch that your dad gifted you.

So much so for the slogan.... “You never actually own a Patek Philippe. You merely look after it for the next generation.”

Sorry Smaug, my bad.  After more than a decade of heavy partying I cna barely remember what happened before lunch, let alone what happened in December. 

'Tis a fine thread indeed! 

 ;D

(you should still keep the watch - disrespectful to your father and your children if you don't)
