Big congrats, Adam
A really beautiful and versatile watch and you couldn't have made a better choice for a Patek. Hugs the wrist well and very comfortable. I've tried on one belonging to a friend some time ago, and am amazed with the fit and comfort on the wrist on a full steel watch which is not common.
My first P A T E K!!!
Team, I have been collecting watches for 8 years, quite a long ride, but I have never had a Patek watch. Until now. Why? Because I have found myself not enough old, wise, wealthy and calm to have one. I didn't like the plain Calatravas, I couldn't allow m...
Big big congratulations Adam
Your first shot is really splendid. A feast for the eyes. Enjoy and wear it in the best of your health. Best wishes Alkiro
You chosed well for a first Patek. My admiration.
Now as a watch collector / enthusiast you have a darn good watch with pedigree. Cheers and enjoy the moment. Geross.
Very nice icon of a watch! Well done and enjoy at full throttle, this is such a pleasantly wearing watch (well....
..... I only know the wearability of the 3700 but this one must be similar) Cheers, HSTE
I assume
you are referring to a hacking or stop seconds function. Very few Pateks have this feature.
Yes,
sorry, I have referred on the hacking seconds mechanism. Thank you for your correction! But I have found a solution: if I set the hand of the hours backwards, you can stop the second hand also for a while. I hope it won't cause a damage on the movement!
Adam, you're (slightly) younger then I am, yet I still don't feel mature enough for a Patek...
What have you done which I missed out? Seriously, CONGRATS ON THIS GRAIL PIECE, Magnus
Beautiful watch.
You have figured out the trick for setting a Patek that does not have a hacking second hand. It will not hurt the watch. I have been doing this for years on all my Pateks. It is fine; I have double checked with Patek and they agree. Please keep us updated...
Dear CB,
many thanks for your inputs, I am now calm!! Will let my experiences with the whole community! Yours, Adam
Congratulations Adam!
Hope you will enjoy it for a long time to come and that it will be there with you during some memorable moments
If only you got it...
brought it to ZG we would have perfect 4 sport in steel Anyhow big congrats...Nautilus to have.... so next time .. Cheers D
It could have been just nice but...
...it's much more than that, it's terrific ! The ones who did not have a chance to wear a Nautilus on the wrist are not aware, this watch is amazing, whether 3800, 3700, 5711, 5712 or any other from the Nautilus franchise, they are all amazingly nice, com...
Thank you Mike!
Yes, I don't bother the premium, I simply enjoy the watch, it is really terrific, that's the word what I also used!
Congratulations Adam. This is a great icon and keeper.
Watch looks awesome on your wrist. May I know are you able to register for warranty and owner circle if not purchased from AD? This will open up a lot of opportunities for me. Thank you. Rgds Raymond
Dear Raymond,
many thanks! I didn't registered the watch till now, but the certificate of origine is stamped, dated and filled out by an AD. So it won't be a problem at all - at least in my case! Yours, Adam
Spectacular timepiece Adam!
I'm chasing one of these, but will most likely go pre-owned. Best, Adam
Nooo nooo nooo!
I love blond and you don't How about Mr. Maroon or Mr Torquise or maybe Mr. DarkGoldenrod www.watchprosite.com Cheers D
Congrats on this amazing milestone!
No better way to enter the world of Patek! May you wear it for many more happy years to come! J
Be careful!
I started with Nautilus and that story did not end well. In fact it still continues. Congratulations for a fine Patek! Kari
That is just what were my thoughts. You are gone!
Fantastic watches will appear and your bank account is shrinking. But we live only once. Best, Kari
Lol Dr Kol
I laugh with you. You are 100% correct dr Kol. . Once you catch the Patek bug it is all over for the bank account. You I am sure known this the best with Pateks with 10 diamonds. Truly amazing. I live your posts. Wear them in the best of health. Adam must...
The issue is:
When you go deeper into Patek, you also start to understand the small details. Let's speak about 5650G: it took in Patek first some months to discuss "opening or no opening in the dial". When opening was winning, it took a month to do it "correctly". I di...
Wouhouuu
Congrats matey!! I agree so much with you I thought about getting the same one for a very long time and managed to get one in my hands but was way too. If for my wrist and did not want to opt for the lady one which is smaller though... Anyway looks really...
Thank you, Kevin!
Finally you didn't pull the trigger, because the watch was too big for your wrist???
Yeah too big
My wrist is tiny. The only watch that fits me is he calatrava 37mm and even this one was a bit too big..so I will wait until they do a flat 36 mm with blue dial ideally hehe At the moment only one that I managed to wear without being too big are the 36 da...
Isn't this one the lady one?with the waves in the dial?
The AD advised me not to go for that one as everyone knows it's the lady one...even if I tried it and it looks really good on my wrist
I referred to the 3800!
It is the previous reference and definitely a men's watch!! You can find it only at the second hand market!
Maybe the best way to dive into the world of Patek (pun intended)!
Congrats to possibly the most refined diving watch!
Big thank!
Yes, I think also it is the perfect watch to jump into the ocean of Patek!
Big congrats, Adam
A really beautiful and versatile watch and you couldn't have made a better choice for a Patek. Hugs the wrist well and very comfortable. I've tried on one belonging to a friend some time ago, and am amazed with the fit and comfort on the wrist on a full s...
What better way to enter the world of Patek Philippe......
Congratulations. And may I add that you take an excellent photo
Hi Adam, huge congrats on getting this very collectible piece, especially as it is...
your first Patek! You have been spoiled and poisoned now ! Look forward to more posts from you in this forum. Cheers, Gordon
Thank you, Gordon!
Although it is a base Patek watch - if this expression exists at all - I think also it is collectible, because very sought after!
Oh yah !! 5711 is so highly sought after that...
AP's royal oak directly benefits from the 5711's excess demand. People that cannot get the 5711 have and will buy the RO instead. Congrats again! Cheers, Gordon
Demand is greatest for the blue dial naturally. Overall, yes, when people cannot get allocations from ADs, they give up and....
buy royal oak which is also designed by Gerald Genta.
First and foremost, CONGRATULATIONS!! Suggestion - no hack - no problem - totally safe. Here's what I do ...
If the watch hasn't been worn and needs to be set: I check the exact time on my smartphone. When the second hand on the smart phone is a second or two behind the position of the second hand on the 5711 I start winding. With the first wind the second hand ...
Thank you, Patekova!
I always also synchronising my watches with my smartphone, it is a good way to set the punctual time. I have tried to wait until my Patek stopped, but I couldn't wait so long! The watch was still running and when I set the time with the crown counter-cloc...
So much talk.
I need more pictures of the beautiful piece. There are never too many pictures of these beauties. Wear it in the best of health. Rest assured you are setting the watch perfectly fine. I guess Patekova does the same with his Pateks.
Congratulations
on your first Patek and a beautiful 5711 at that! Enjoy her and I'm sure she'll see lots of wrist time...
I've been waiting for that call from the salons for the past three and half years now... :(
I may just close an eye and pull the trigger like you did!
Huge congratulations, it looks fantastic.
Regarding the clasp, it does come in for some criticism. However I think it's a little unfair. It's functional, adds no bulk to the bracelet and is reliable. I personally would not change it. Enjoy your new watch!
Thanks, Russw!
Well, the solution is solid and safe, but I find it still too uncomfortable. It would be much better if the deployant clasp had two pushers on the side of the clasp.
Dear Adam! What a watch!
I can see you so well wearing a Nautilus! My best congratulations! It would have been great if you would have been able to bring it along last weekend. This is exactly the one Patek that I would consider if I felt ready for one. So happy that you were rea...
