There’s a lot of watches I’d want for 50k. These aren’t on that list.

I don’t get the logic here. Seems circular or syllogistic with regard to the Daytona. Is the 5711p a 28k watch selling for 6 figures?

I know I'd buy a Platona long before a 5711a @ that price......already voted with my wallet and it's a totally different beast. It's not like we're comparing Patek complications here since it's the 3 hand/date movement versus Rolex's chronograph......it's all about aesthetics and wrist presence here for me and at that price the Daytona wins. I don't know many watches that sleek that has the same presence actually.
Not saying I don't want a 5711a, just certainly not @ the premium of the secondary market now. |

IMHO both the 5711/1A and the Platona are over-hyped. They are both nice watches, but $50k for either one of them seem over-priced. But value is in the eye of the beholder. For many people, they see the $50k value in either one of these. I would rather purchase a Patek 3940 G or R at that price level.

I’d love a thread of which watches are intrinsically worth what they sell for.

Nonsense that would require us all to sober up and go home.

Gorgeous dial, good heft but elegantly thin. 51k MSRP. THAT is the comparison :) |

I would do a 5726 white dial in SS at retail over the 5711 in the grey market. Some ADs are telling me no shot, but others are saying it’s doable with a small wait time.
I would also do the Lange Datograph Flyback (not the up/down) 2nd hand. Those are going in the $40k’s. |

Aboutthe post I would never buy a 5711 for grey prices, or a platona for retail, I much prefer the 5711, but if to get both at grey prices there is a big chance I might get the Platona, but there is a ton of watches I would prefer at that price point, but if to choose between the 2 at 50k I think I would take the Platona |
