Purity. I definitely agree.
It has delved on me that a Nautilus should be really stainless steel cause its a sports watch. But the platinum 5711 with the bling is really a nice watch. I guess its this anniversary event that makes it special. But yours is really a functional watch. Glad you took it out for a spin.
Cheers.
Patek Philippe Nautilus 1976-4-1980
In light of all the news and reactions about the 1976 - 40 - 2016 I have decided that I will pick up my 1976 - 4 - 1980 in the coming days from the bank and give it airtime and use the opportunity to make a nice wrist shot. This one speaks more to me, for...
My therapy was
to put my PP aside and start to wear something else. I had, as an example, nearly forgotten this Have a nice day all. Best, Kari ...
wow so gorgeous kari! Without looking at the picture I was hoping it was this one...and it is!
One of the best Breguet and one of my favorite (for the future). So simple and so true to the genius of Breguet that used it in a pocket watch. It looks great on you! Christian
I am currently sitting in a boring meeting with three lawyers.
My attorney is taking care of our interests and my focus is in reading watchprosite and checking the time from my watch. I can't understand why did I forget ly Breguets... Best Kari
My new acquisition,
Universal Geneve Tri-Compax. Just had it finished servicing and wearing it for the first day. ...
Yes, feels good.
I let some steam come out and now I have a reason to enjoy forgotten watches. Best, Kari
Forgotten watches are the greatest! Enjoy.
I picked my PP 3700 tonight, I had forgotten it a bit but will now wear it for the rest of the week.
Nautilus 3700 is a great watch.
No Bling, no diamonds, no noble metal. Just steel, water resistance, great design. Just like the finest sporting watch of the world should be! Best, Kari
Less is certainly more, and less is definitely beautiful...
I sincerely hope you will not be parting ways with this piece but if you are, there would certainly be many good homes volunteering! I know of one personally Looking forward to that wrist shot and wear it in the best of health! KR
Ohh! My bad... apologies.
When I wrote this, I must\'ve been thinking of someone else! It was not my intention to assume. My apologies once again. KR
the day after the news I must say the anniversary models are nice ...
and would have been perfect without the extra writing on the dial. The baguette diamonds give this most elegant divers watch an even more elegant touch.
I think we expect from Patek too much and if our expectations are not met we are puzzled and perplex
But the anniversary Nautilus models are nice, really nice to be honest! Rolex's anniversary Daytona was also not what people have expected but these Nautilus are much, much better than the Daytonas.
Exactly my thoughts
We usually don't judge Patek the same way we do with other brands. All about level of expectations (the higher they are, the more excessive the reactions are) but it is a problem when we can't see what remains nice anymore. Well spotted as usual dear coun...
Expectations were high and could never have been satisfied.
It takes time to see things differently. By way of example I searched for the reaction to the 30th anniversary- see link (I hope it is not against the rules to link to another forum) #msg_2209203 The initial reaction was generally negative, but the rest i...
People sometimes have a natural tendency to give a bigger importance to the present
and forget it wasn't all green in the past (remember the 3700 appearance in 1976 or the 5070 for instance). Although we aren't on the same track either here with a diamond-set dial and this stamp. Moderation in our reactions is a positive behaviour imho T...
Without the writing;
thumbs up! HOWEVER; if they would have been true to their (old) fan base, thus heritage, they should have put out a modern steel 3700 re-run (you get the drift) for a reasonable price (€ 20K-ish or less). Maybe only 40 pcs. Maybe 1976 pcs. That would have...
I fear the days of "accessible" limited Pateks are over
as you can see, Patek invites people to buy, as they have done in the past with some pieces too. Now it is all pieces and the possibility for the "fan base" is ... not existing anymore. Best Moritz

Nice to see you're wearing it
I've tried it once again last week and its thinness and dial simplicity are fantastic. Thanks for sharing! Cheers, Mark
Boom - my taste: PP 5711 w/o seconds hand...
....in steel. Modest, pure but bolder than the 3700 with the bolder hands and indices. Perhaps they keep their gun powder dry for the 50th....
I would like that too
but maybe it is something they consider for the regular collection or for a more important occasion like the 50th? There are many good ideas for new launch in the posts we gathered on the subject this year. Cheers, Mark
