Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711 - References, Prices and Owners' Reviews

Owner of this 5711 for over 10 years... I've been a simple watch enthusiast for quite some time now, and back then we could buy this kind of watch without any difficulty. When I see now that this is no longer possible... I wonder how it will last. I have the opportunity to visit my friends at the European Watch Company on Newbury Street, and I'm amazed by the actual sale prices for second-hand! I'm glad I bought a new one for $20,000 before all the hype disturbed the established order. This watch is the most beautiful in my collection, not always easy to wear as it scratches quickly and is sometimes a little too flashy! Otherwise, what a treat in terms of sleek lines, like a 911... A very simple design that has become iconic in modern watchmaking. Many ask me if this is Patek's iconic watch? For the public, the answer is probably yes, but for watch enthusiasts, clearly no! In any case, not for me... I'd be tempted by a 5960 Patek Philippe Annual Calendar 5960P Chronograph Platinum Grey Dial, on sale at European Watch Company. For me, it's the Patek style with its 3 counters, very characteristic of complications models of the brand. Finally, thanks to the It's About Time newsletter, which introduced me to this platform... It's nice, it can be improved, but it's a pleasure to be able to share passion and emotions quietly and safely. THX #redsoxnation

For this exceptional year, the sale of my company and the year of my 50th birthday, I wanted to mark the occasion. I have several very beautiful watches in my collection, but the GRAIL has always been for me the 5711. After years of waiting, efforts, sacrifices and choices, I broke my piggy bank and bought myself my GRAIL. A madness..But as they say, you only live once. This watch is exceptional on the wrist. Very thin, very light, discreet, so comfortable to wear. Sincerely...the 5711 It's the GRAIL

There is so much to say about this watch. A watchmaking project of several years that had its share of suspense to finally be able to get this model with a white dial that had caught my eye in Basel. For the time the price was already excessive for me, today, it has become anything ... In short. It is a watch that will remain in my collection. It has enormous qualities, a finish, a level of detail that I have difficulty finding elsewhere and a hypnotic case back. In terms of reliability and precision nothing to complain about never maintained, in 10 years, it works like a Swiss cuckoo clock! Worn with care, I only take it out on rare occasions or in safe places as it has become so recognizable and expensive ... Too bad. It is one of the most comfortable watches I have on my wrist. On the other hand, its quality / price ratio has become completely insane, we have to be serious. It is rare, certainly, but apart from the emotion it provides, qualitatively and concretely its price (market) is far too high compared to the competition.
