Hi...
The 5711 is a beautiful watch!! Its simplicity is its beauty!! In fact I was giving consideration to one before pulling the trigger on the 5235.
With my 5235, it was a simple case of being in the right place at the right time. I didnt buy it through an AD, but from a dealer. I went into the shop to have a browse and they just recieved the 5235. Getting it through a dealer would have probably meant a long wait as I am not on a waiting list for it and alot of people are still waiting for their's.
I couldnt be happier with it.
I hope you recieve yours soon.
Thanks for your kind words.
Regards
Jav

Hi I have spent plenty of time lurking on this forum, admiring some beautiful pieces and reading some great posts and discussions. Today, having a little time on my hands, I decided to join the forum and post for the first time. My watch journey began sev...
Welcome here, JavD, and wonderful pieces you have there
Patek has a certain charm, no matter which model you pick...something not many watches hold. Both these are great pieces, of course I'm impartial to the 5164A as I happen to also own one, and find that to be one of the most comfortable and versatile watch...
Welcome and fantastic watches...
I have the 5235 as well and it is truly a special piece! I also added Travel Time but 5990 and love it as well. Hope they are the first two of many great Pateks in the future! Cheers,
Hi JavD, a warm welcome and your watches are..
...impressive pieces as your first two Pateks because many collectors start off without complications I am seen both in the metals and they are great, especially the 5235 Is your 5235 a brand new piece or pre-owned from the shop ? Cheers, Gordon
Thanks..
I bought the 5235 as pre-owned unworn. I wasn't on a list with an AD so am really happy that I was able to find it in the first place.
Welcome to Purists and congrats on two very nice watches
They both look great, I am partial to the regulator myself, wish they would consider a rose gold model. Look forward to seeing more pictures. Stewart
Jav, a warm welcome by me as well ...

Good combination, congratulations...stealing a line from a
fellow purist in other forum....cars and watches are what we men got. I think there's more to just these two hobbies...mainly to enjoy life to its fullest to what we human beings are exposed to and know. Enjoy your passion, that's the right thing to do. R...
