Beautiful watch,
I tried it on and considered it.
Decided Id wait till I could justify the 5960P.

I just want a bit more elegance from a Patek
than the Nautilus line

I remember not that long ago, these were trading a double msrp... I love it but I tend to agree, $40,000$ for a steel sport watch is kinda excessive...

and yet they don't sit long in the ADs. However, my preference is the 5712/1A (even though I'm not sure about the added complications in a steel sports watch).

I had to look up which model this was, so I might as well share these great shots I stumbled across. Very nice piece!
