Hi guys, you know that feeling when you receive the phone call or email from your dealer....
So, here we go. 

Fantastic view from the hotel and promising morning 




Just a cross the lake you know that your new friend is waiting for you...




All you need is to wait know...





Lake is calm and wind firm the Alpes so gentle and still warm yet...




Your new friend well deserved good bottle of wine to celebrate 




And actually the main reason of this short weekend trip...














Wish you the same feelings and emotions which I had and have now... Nautilus is absolutely must have watch for any Patek Man... It's simple and timeless... Pure classic from great watchmaker and Mr.Genta... 
Thank you all my friends for your friendship and our little cozy and friendly world of patek lovers. 
Ed.

Wear it with the suit? Or it's still the casual and almost sporty watch?

And I do :) I love the sporty elegance of the thin Nautiluses (5711/5712). The 5711 of a friend I was trying for the 1st time during the 2012 patek presentation in Paris (I bought my 5712 less than 2 weeks after): The Nautilus, a true love story! Cheers, Mark

The more I am dealing with watches, the more I appreciate simple ones made of steel. I have 3712 but it feels lonely and a couple of days ago in Singapore we decided with my wife that I need to get also 5711. It's a wonderful understated watch and its waterproofness of 120 meters is impressive. Furthermore, it is a very elegant watch. Just get the matching cufflinks and you have a sporting watch and a dress watch all in one. Best, Kari
