Would you trade 2 for 1 watch?

Assume I can get a Petek Nautilus stainless 5711, would you trade two hot Rolex stainless watches Skydweller and BLNR both brand new plus some cash between 5-10k for it? What are your pro and con for trading up for the Patek? TIA RTF.

Yes, great deal considering the 5711 sells for around a 100% premium here.

I won't. Recently had a chance to wear a 5711 blue from my friend. The watch is nice but I do not think its worth two good Rolex. I would just save up for that 5711.

If the 5711 is brand new I would do that trade in a heartbeat. I recently acquired a 5167a and a 5711 and both get way more wrist time over my sub, deepsea, datejust, and my daytona 500.

Yes, I would, you can always get rolex in the future but very difficult to find 5711

In a New York minute.

Patek is just an ENTIRELY different level. Period. Doesn’t matter what anyone else says - it’s more of a culminating piece.

When you introduce Pateks into collections - other watches that you might not completely LOVE - will begin to collect dust.

The only ‘Con’ is that you will want more Pateks...and that can get problematic.

Good luck.

If we can survive with no kidney, I may oblige to help a fellow member with the 5711 blue. Apologies.

Do you already love the 5711? If not, the first experience of a 5711 can be a little underwhelming. If you get it though, the 5711 is a great watch and worth trading in a couple of Rolexes for.

FYI I’ve just traded my YG GMT2 + cash for a blue 5711.

Absolutely zero regrets whatsoever. The 5711 is a heck of a watch. So yes, I would do the trade.

I bought a 5980 this year. My first Patek. Picking up my second in three weeks...rolexes are not getting the love and have become weekend watches

Personally I have no interest in Patek Philippe, so I would not do this trade.

The main con with Patek, is the cost of servicing this brand.
