I Sold My Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711!!! WHAT?!

About this video

Sacawa recounts the story of acquiring a highly coveted Patek Philippe 5711 at retail through an AD near his home, wearing it extensively, and subsequently selling it on the secondary market for a significant profit. He explains the three reasons that prompted his decision to sell—the watch’s skyrocketing value, the negative sentiment surrounding its exclusivity, and the financial flexibility the proceeds provided his household.

Key takeaways

• Sacawa argues that luxury watches should be worn and enjoyed rather than kept unworn out of fear of damage, emphasizing that he prioritizes use over preservation
• Sacawa emphasizes that while he doesn’t buy watches as investments, he uses market tracking tools to stay informed about secondary market values and timing
• Sacawa explains that he made the decision to sell based on practical considerations including peak market conditions, the cultural perception of the watch, and his family’s financial needs rather than emotional attachment
