And on the other hand collectors go crazy for a reference that’s always been gold when it’s done in steel.

Exactly.


And this is where i think there's a clear divergence between appreciation of horological substance and the relentless pursuit of exclusivity. Of course both the 5070 and the 5711 are the beneficiaries of market hype, but i suspect more so for the 5711.

Funny to consider the circumstance of the original purchaser of that steel Patek back in 1950, compared with the buyers today.
