The new 5711 successor – the 5811/1G Nautilus – is a bit of a letdown. But it is our fault, not Patek’s

“Anticipation, I suppose, sometimes exceeds realisation,” Amelia Earhart once said. Ever since the final swan song of the Patek Philippe Nautilus ref. 5711, which, at times felt like a never-ending Elton John farewell tour, the rumour mill instantly began swirling. Everybody had predictions – a 6711 in titanium perhaps, or a return to a two-handed … Continued

VIDEO: Hands-on with the AP Royal Oak A2 and the black magic of Karl Lagerfeld’s customised watch

Every minuscule scratch on a watch knocks off a little bit of value, and before long you may struggle to even wear it with pride, let alone sell it.

Digital watches like G-SHOCKs may also have that functionality, but we still wouldn’t wear … Continued
