So, a few months back you might remember I bought a 5711 Nautilus...
http://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.ph...a-Patek-virgin
I absolutely loved that watch but ultimately I ended up giving it to my Dad for being a good bloke. This left me happy to have been able to do that for him but sadly it left me with a Patek-shaped hole in my soul that I really wanted to fix. I decided there was only one watch to replace a blue dial 5711 Nautilus and so put myself down on lists with dealers I have good contacts with and although I was confident I would get one before the end of 2016, I was equally confident that I'd get hit by either a Brexit or regular currency related price increase before I succeeded.
When I woke this morning and Mrs C told me we were oooooot, after a few minutes thought dedicated to the more important things in life, I thought... well that's going to be my Patek costing even more then.
However (!!!) after 20 minutes at work I got a call from one of my contacts who was delighted to tell me my watch had arrived that morning and naturally Patek haven't quite made there move on pricing yet. So I steamed down there and was delighted to pick up the only watch that can replace a blue dial 5711 Nautilus...
A blue dial 5711 Nautilus!!!
Many many congratulations. All the watch you'll ever need. Love the dial! 😀

Very lucky indeed! I'm going to have to wait it out and see what price increases are coming as I won't have the cash in place for a few months. Hopefully I won't have to downgrade from the one I want!
Thank you very much. My previous experience with it would lead me to agree with you, albeit its unlikely to work out that way...Originally Posted by jeepie

Thank you sir. Good luck and remember, they're currently about 9% down from their highest price so hopefully it won't go back past that.
Fingers crossed but even that would be around a £4k increase. I'd have to try and find a good discount!
Ahhh, I had assumed we were talking 5711 or similar. Yes, an extra £4K would sting. More chance of a bit of discount at that sort of level unless it's something restricted?
Congratluations, I'm still loving my 5711 - it's just right :)
It's just a matter of time...
More than when you first got it?
Congrats.

My utterly favourite watch.
Did a F2F deal in that famous London a year or so ago for a polar Explorer and the cad was wearing one (first time I'd seen one in the metal) and I was smitten.
One day, one day....
Nothing restricted and not the most sought after model either I don't think. Nautilus 5980r-001 on leather strap so fingers crossed.
Great and congrats for Your Patek... I'm sure both You and your Dad will be over the moon...
A wee bit nicer photo...

Well done! Lovely watch.

My favourite watch (wish I had one) - congratulations.
It is growing on me! Though I'm more a Calatrava kinda guy. Well done Sir!
