Waiting for Daytona-C get option on Patek 5711
A few months ago I was enjoying my friends watch collection, mostly Patek Philippe with a few Rolex thrown in for good measure. While admiring his Daytona-Cs (a white and black face) my eye caught his blue dial PP 5711/1A - what an amazing watch especially in real life. Now I understand the passion for this particular model - incredible dial, timeless design, cool crystal back, elegant simplicity and of course highest quality.
Next morning, we are at the AD and I'm adding my name to the list for the 5711 even though it seems the waiting list can compete admirably with the Daytona which I'd been patiently waiting for. Oh well, you never know, perhaps we'll be debating new POTUS candidates before we see any action on these. Then surprise, a call from the AD this weekend with option to take a 5711 that just came in. What a beauty. My first PP. What election? |

Euh he just did, maybe you meant the Daytona? If not I don't get it
I prefer these to the 5711, which is my third fave, but am also getting a 5711 in a few months, we will see if I will like it more than my 5712, but I doubt it, anyways very happy to be able to have both... |

I'm intrigued, I don't think I've ever bought a watch thinking I won't like it as much as a very similar watch I already own from the same manufacturer. Different metal, different usage - just love all Nautilus?

5711 is an amazing watch and as said above I found my appreciation increased the longer I owned it.
