    Nice video. Patek needs to spend a bit more time with QA. I bought a new 5711 and 3 months later the date was getting stuck between the numbers. I took it back to the AD and was told it would be 6-8 weeks before getting it back. I do like the watch but I must say I've never had any problems with any of my Rolexes. Patek kind of reminds me of Ferrari ownership, the more money you spend the more time it spends in the shop!

    Don't give up on the 5711. Patek will get it fixed and you will own an iconic watch. A true beauty.

    As a follow up to the first video.

    The Henry Graves Jr, Patek Supercomplication is being sold at auction in a few weeks. It brought the highest price ever paid for a watch back in 1999 ($11 million).

    It is estimated to sell from $15-17 million this time around.

    It was a commissioned piece by Mr. Graves back in the 1930s and I believe is the most complicated watch ever created (without the help of modern day computers).

    Here is video of that piece. Get out your bidding paddles.

    Wow, what a cool video, thanks for sharing. I've been wondering what the sound of the Grand Master Chime was!

    Makes me realize I'm nowhere near talented enough (with a steady hand) nor are my eyes sharp enough to be involved in ANY step of that amazing process.

    $2.6 million per pieces buys a hell of a lot more talent than I've got to offer!
