Tom makes a case for waiting lists with the story of his Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711


In the first episode of a new Time+Tide video series called ‘Every Watch Tells A Story’, in which we ask people to choose a watch in their collection with a memorable backstory, Tom explains how he came to be the proud owner of a Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711, a watch that has had more attention in the last few months arguably than ever before in its colourful 42-year-old history. How can I rattle that fact off so easily? Because we are the same age. I could only dream of ageing as well.

Without stealing Tom's thunder, this is a familiar, and for many frustrating tale. You are asked by one of your friendly watch dealers, which watch would you most desire? To be met with laughter these days is probably not uncommon. Though Tom's final result may have many reconsidering their long game, and gritting their teeth though the months and years may seem to stretch away. If you can get on a list, that is.

"I gently tapped the man on the shoulder and said, ‘Listen, sorry mate, from one bloke to another, I couldn’t help but look at your wrist.’ He gave me a gentle smile and said ‘Have a look at it.’"
