I dont think its worth it. I would spend the money on a more special piece like a 5077P. Did you find one yet?

Quite a thread bump from 2013! Khalid certainly has an extensive Patek watch collection and he certainly deserved the 5711/1P. I am sure he has several 5077's in his collection as well.

@gb-man
Thanks buddy! Even these 40th Ann. 5711p are crushing retail prices on the secondary. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Worth it is your call. In my opinion, it is worth it. I like the weight of it and especially the look!

If you have the money I would do it. I love the weight of platinum, and the deep blue. Platinum watches are not about status as the majority of humans will not know what you are wearing. But it will be special to YOU. If that is enough, then buy it.
On a broader note, as I got older, I really decided to value quality over quantity in all luxury goods. A few of the highest quality is what makes me happy. After all you can't take them with you when you die. |

700 pcs makes the regular 5711 seems like a honda accord in comparison. Rarity begeta value over time. Im trying to secure an allotment myself. That blue and the brightness of platinum is something else entirely

[QUOTE=Chasseur;7176507]This one is not an anniversary 5711
It's rarer because a lot less than 700 pieces[/QUOTE Correct but it's lower that what they were usually going for at auction if I remember albeit marginally |

Not as high as I would have thought. I wouldn't sell mine for $176K USD. I'd want at least $250K+.

Where can I find high-res photos of this watch? I don't care for the 40th anniversary. This watch is the one.

If you can get the hands on one at retail price go for it. In flesh feels so special.
