Yes and I do understand why those of us youngish collectors are drawn to the patek sport pieces-they are wearable with a relatively accessible price point. But as we’ve said they are NOT the fabric of Pateks DNA. It’s an interesting era for Patek to thread this needle but without diluting the brand reputation for complication, they will need to find a way to convert the owners of patek sport models into complications down the road. Idk how many will do so esp when retail prices are so high these days

Totally on same page as you AK and Jorge. Its a unique time for Patek considering trends vs. tradition as this also reflects the difference between commercial buyers vs. collectors. In the midst of this market I've been trying to square the circle and understand how it can make sense (if it does at all.) What is the long term collectibility/value of a watch like the 5711/1A? It is a SERIALLY PRODUCED RE-EDITION of the original 3700 which is now in its 12TH YEAR. Patek keeps production number '"low" but we have no idea what that actually means quantitatively esp when production may just be relatively low compared to demand. The dive watch lines are NOT consistent with Patek's tradition but they may rather be the cash cows with high 2nd hand value. In addition, Patek has aggressively jacked up prices on (grand) complications so many many of the pieces trade for a discount to retail.

Preach!! Amen to that. I still wish Patek did a real tribute to the jumbo. Like AP did with the 15202 (even if the 15202 is a bit thicker than a 5402 A series) Patek should do an ultra thin movement based on the jlc and do away with the dang sweeping seconds. Heck at this pint they should just buy the movement from AP and do a different rotar. Put a nice window around the date like the rose gold, white dial, and platinum versions and make it a true throwback... so angry with what we got for the anniversary. To me the 5711 goes head to head with the 15300 or 15400 not the 15202. |

Thanks for the kind words. You have plenty of sun and bucolic settings in Singapore to take some pics of yours as well!

This looks fantastic. White dials are so versatile. They look good when paired with almost any strap color.
