Patek 5711/a Resale

[detee]

I bought a Patek 5711/a in 2012 and it is a beautiful watch. The thing is I never wear it, probably only worn it 6 times. When I bought it they were hard to get hold of and no discounts were readily available fro Patek dealers. Is this still the case? Does anyone have an idea what the dealers would offer? I am not convinced that I would not regret selling it, but I was curious to find out if I was going to lose a lot of money on it. It is a blue faced one. Thank you in advance for any help.

The most desirable of the Nautilus range without a doubt - a blue Jumbo! Not many about of course and I think most dealers would very much like to take one into stock...

I'd try Dom H on here (hackettwatches.com), Blowers and Watchfinder and see who offers the most, impossible for us mere mortals to predict what a dealer will offer you I'm afraid...

No they are still quite rare from AD's. My local AD was supposed to be receiving two for the whole year and they do sell rather well.


There was a 5711 blue dial on ebay for a while with a buy it price of £15k. I have no idea if the watch sold or the seller had a change of heart but privately £15k would be about the right threshold for a sale.

If your in no rush you might want to see if there is a price increase after Basel.

BTW I sold my 5135 to WF and it never even appeared on their site. While it was a painless transaction I doubt if I would go this route again.

Thanks Yeti, I know it is desirable and I wish I knew why we have not bonded. I really really wanted one, and I just do not seem to wear it. I may keep it in the end maybe get something else. Blowers is quite near me and I have e mailed them, I did e mail Dom H last week but did not hear back so I guess he was not that keen. Sometimes you just fancy a change!

Not everything goes through the system - sometimes things are placed immediately if buyers have registered interest. The Blancpain I have now was taken in one afternoon; I popped in for a chat the same evening and walked out with it

Pics?

Ferdi P do you want me to e mail you some pics? If you let me have your e mail I can send you some first thing.

Plenty on chrono 24 at around 15k ......it will give you some idea of value..........good luck with selling it
