Collection
In a candid post, WatchProSite collector Abu Alex shares a refreshingly honest take on managing a significant watch collection, admitting that even he can 'lose track' of his timepieces. His reflection on the Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711J, prompted by a fellow collector, sparks a broader discussion among enthusiasts about the joys and challenges of curating a personal collection. This article delves into Abu Alex's insights and the community's shared experiences.
The Patek Philippe reference 5711/1A-011, part of the Complications collection, is distinguished by its white dial, offering a different aesthetic compared to other dial variations within the 5711 series. This particular configuration provides a clean and legible presentation, appealing to collectors who prefer a more understated yet refined look. It represents a specific iteration of a well-known Patek Philippe model, recognized for its integrated design.
The watch features a 40mm stainless steel case, housing the self-winding Caliber 26-330 SC movement. This movement provides a power reserve of 45 hours. The case is fitted with a sapphire crystal, contributing to its water resistance of 120 meters. The fixed bezel and integrated bracelet are characteristic elements of its construction.
This reference appeals to collectors interested in the evolution of Patek Philippe's offerings, particularly those seeking specific dial colors within established model lines. Its production run from 2019 to 2021 marks it as a relatively recent, yet now discontinued, variant. The watch's specifications align with Patek Philippe's standards for mechanical timepieces.
This would look great on a variety of brown straps too.
By the way, I did buy the 5726A, and it's the only watch I regret selling 😬
I don’t have that many watches but enough to forget about some of them till i see a picture that reminds me again. So i decided to slim down my collection a lot and the ones that stay to really give them the love and attention they deserve
I am planning to reduce from 11 to 3.
I had a chance to try this one on. It was polished which stopped me from seriously considering it. But I think it’s beautiful and super classy.
seldom seen !👍 Please post more about your collection !
