It is one of the only Pateks I like; I'd do it.

I look all the time and try to figure out why people like them. Nautilus does absolutely nothing for me.

"Negative Ghost Rider the pattern is full......"

The Patek just doesn't have the looks for my .02 cents. Financially sure, but I don't buy watches as a business. I buy them like art.

No, I’d rather have the two you have + cash.

I’m all about simplicity, I would do 2 for 1 but not in this case. IMO that kind of money is too much for a 5711, maaaybe for a 5712. (I know the market is crazy but it’s my opinion, not saying its not worth it).

Honestly I would trade both for a PM Rolex, perhaps a Platona or something else.

I wouldn’t... I prefer the look of the two Rolex models over the PP.

♛- Yet to be determined, but a white 16520 is on the short list. (I believe that I'll be able to read it better than my old 116520)

No I am not a huge Patek fan. I would keep the fantastic Rolex pieces you already have.

I don't see the value in Patek. Way overpriced for what they are (outside of the top rare pieces).

Best of luck

Definite yes here. Makes sense even in Yens, Euros, Ruppes, etc.

Try it in on for a while on 2 different occasions and see how you feel. If it still talks to you and you really like it then go for it.
