Patek means dress watch to me,

And so the Nautilus never really appealed to me. I always found it to look
better in pictures than how it feels in real life. What I do like about the nautilus however is it’s
ability to distract the fashion world from the real Patek candy that enthusiasts appreciate.
Dress watches, on leather strap with pin buckle or deployant clasp.
What I find interesting however is that the 5711 launched in 2006 has now been discontinued, at
a time where it’s desirability is still on a high given the long waitlists it enjoyed till the end.
The 5196 launched in 2004 is still available in all metals and has not been touched or updated in any way.
And while it’s vanishing from storefronts has been a result of lowered production and not higher demand,
I sincerely hope Pateks focus and resources will target the 5196 soon, only because it’s an important
reference that deserves attention, more important than 5711 imho.
