I wouldn't think about letting it go if slight possibility you might want one again in future. Will be an expensive move.

My AD is actually getting more 5712/1As than 5711/1As this year. Of course, switching to the new movement may have something to do with it. Crazy.

Anyway, DO NOT trade it to another watch which isn't a Patek, if this is your only Patek. The vintage Daytona? it's like a Vintage car, different category. You won't find there what you so in a new Patek. |

If there is a specific reference over which you’ve lusted but never thought possible, sure, why not?
If it’s just to take advantage of the worth of the 5712, I wouldn’t, because you enjoy to wearing it. |

This thread neatly sums up my views on the much discussed subject of watches as investments:
1) It is very rare that you are going to actually make a return that beats the market on a watch. However, a Nautilus / Aquanaut bought a few years ago and/or at retail is now entering this territory (for how long this will persist is an interesting question, my gut feeling is that "what goes up must come down"). 2) When this rare circumstance actually occurs and the market price is high (perhaps due to a bubble) the watch in question unfortunately turns out to not at all be investment grade simply because in the end you cannot bring yourself to part with it. |

I totally agree to what you’re saying, especially what goes up must come down....

I appreciate everyone’s feedback! I know I love this one and not sure if I would enjoy another piece in the same way. Im pretty certain it’s staying and I need to ignore the fact of increased value over years and just continue to enjoy the timepiece.
Those of you that stated the fact that I will not be able to get another one are correct. Knowing myself, it would bother the heck out of me that I let it go and not be able to replace it. Thanks for everyone’s feedback. |

It depends what you care about. Do you care about value retention and/or growth potential of the piece? If so, stick with the 5712 since it will probably beat out most watches in that regard. If you care about complications and the art of horology, with that amount you can tread into grand complications territory and/or access some pretty unique high end pieces. Once you know what means most to you, you'll have your decision.

I would sell or trade while the price is high. Watches are accessories and not essentials, I don't think the current market is sustainable.
