Patek Philippe

Oscar Wilde said that; he must have been a watch collector. Let me introduce my latest scratched itch, a 2015-vintage 5711: First impressions: 1. I love it, despite the hype. 2. I had never even tried one of these on before; I'd just seen them in photos (...  

I still regret not getting a 5712 when it was priced sanely (not as an investment, but just to wear and enjoy).

Glad that you are happy with it. It does wear well.

we face many itches in our short lives; only some of them should be scratched. This one was within the bounds of matrimonial harmony (just barely).

For me, the 5711 fit like a glove. That was a large part of my love for the watch. Both it and 5712 are surprisingly thin and svelte (and to me make the most sense of the Nautilus line up as after those two the elegance gets lost a little as thickness is ... 

"We are [Patek]. Lower your shields and surrender your ships [as well as any other assets you may own]. Your [bank account] will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile."

I feel similar here, have really been wanting a 5711 blue. May just pull the trigger just like you. Considered the 3700 as well but a good version is $150+. I also have the 15202st so this could be a good pair.

a 15202 and a 3700/5711 in it would be a horological garden fit for kings, M. Jardin des Rois… 🙂

…and one of my favorite of many wonderful Oscar Wilde statements on life, a master wordsmith.

Hello from a brother. ...  

And equally to the point, it’s about what watch one will actually wear.

Congratulations!

any watch-related developments that make you happy also make me happy, so I am happy that you are happy that I am happy — one big positive feedback loop of happiness!

A pleasure to wear always..a keeper!! Congrats on your acquisition…..
