Patek - Daily Wearing? 5726
Hey everyone - sometime before the end of the year I will be ordering/purchasing a new Patek 5726 Grey on a Bracelet - I have loved the look of the watch ever since i saw it at our local AD a few years back before I really could afford to buy it.
So my small collection of nice watches so far is all Rolex, I have a black 116610 sub and also a blue white gold 116619 sub as well - both of these watches swap places on my wrist for months at a time, except when I wear one of my "basic" watches when I do yard work and stuff - this is where my question lies - is the Patek built to be worn daily?? My job isn't crazy, I am a office guy working in the marketing technology space - but have never had something this nice before and I just wanted to understand how 'daily wearer' this watch can be. When spending this much on a nice thing, early on I know it will be for special occasions only - but over time as I get comfortable it will likely spend weeks/months on my wrist - so just trying to understand if its really designed for that like the Rolexes are. |

Yes, this model is suitable for daily wearing (I have a 5726).
I know of an AD that had that one in stock recently and would ship out of state. If interested PM me. |

It's my "go-to" daily wear. So, yes.

The 5726 is absolutely appropriate daily. This was my first PP as well.

Think it's a great watch ....wear it whenever....it's the sort of question that tempts one to answer "it's designed to only be worn on tuesdays!"....watches are to be worn...not sit in watch boxes

It can absolutely be a daily and under the radar.

I used to have one. Definitely appropriate for daily wear. It has a REALLY noisy rotor. It drove me crazy and I sold it. Some like it, just not for me.

when you say loud rotor, like actually audible in general conversation and situations? or when you are actually listening for it?

I have one. You must be in a completely quiet room and put the watch up to your ear to hear the rotor. In my case at least. Just got this watch last week and I love it! You will not be disappointed.

The loud rotor is music to my ears. Admittedly when I wear my 5167 I give my wrist a little flick every now and then to listen to the rotor. I must be a crazy person.

Every time you move your arm, the rotor spins and makes a noise. As some have posted, they like it. It drove me crazy. My Aquanaut did the same thing. Just want to give you a heads up. You may want to go to an AD and try one on to see if it will bother you.

I feel either left out or possibly deaf!!! I have never heard the rotor whizzing on either of my 3 Nautilus orvAquanaut and sure they are working

My 5726 gets the most wrist time out of all my Patek's... very easy to wear daily!

Watches are meant to be worn and enjoyed! The only time I'm not wearing my PC is if I'm sleeping, at the gym, or cooking/dishes. So far it has stood before everything that's come before it!
I would say go for it, wear it as much as you would like! |
