Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711 Owner Review : Fine, shapely and refined

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
