... I think this my favorite Patek dress watch. Ever. Perfect size and proportions, useful complications, lovely hands. beautiful case, and the raised Roman numerals give it a unique look.

If you want a sports watch and no mater what you buy, the 5712 is still your ultimate objective, then, it is a no brainer - buy the 5712! I know it is nice to see what others think and hoping for their seal of approval but the truth is the watch is a litt...

Are you sure?
