Interesting thoughts. 5740 is to me really nicely executed. Classic in proportions and slim; bravo!

What is outrageous is the price ($120k!), no matter how you slice it. 5740 shares the same movement if I am not mistaken of the 3940 and its successor perpetual calendar references so it is really hard to "justify" the price. Is any justification needed? Absolutely not. Do I still want one? Yes!

So I guess you suck it up and buy knowing damn well going into it that the price is just armed robbery. 'Tis all.

PS: Let us not forget the 5976 44mm monster! Hopefully patek will keep all nautilus in 40 from now on.
