I know we all laugh when we see questions like this - which one to keep or sell but any advice would be much appreciated.
I have been able to get myself a 5712 which will be coming in the next few months.
So i was thinking of letting either my nautilus 3800 or aquanaut 5065 go.
Lets be honest - i like them both and they are the only pateks that i have.

The problem with this kind of questions, James

Is that you will have personal answers, reflecting personal opinions, which will be very subjective. I would let go the 2 tones Nautilus, if you are on to get the 5712, to diversify your Duo. But I'm not YOU. Welcome here, by the way! Best, Nicolas

If I am lucky to be in your position, I'll let go the 3800 because I won't find myself wearing it anymore with 5712 in da house! Anyone has a different opinion?
i am not sure this helps, but

I'd let the gold one go simply because i am not a massive fan of gold. But that just tells you that in watches, personal taste is everything and nobody has a monopoly on what is "good taste" and what isnt. Go for how your heart tells you
My personal opinion.

If I had to let go of one to get the 5712, it would be the 3800. Regards, Richard.
Which one to keep?

Personally I will just keep the PP5065 and let go the PP3800. Fo some reason the latter just doesm't appeal to collectors as evidence by the popularity. Henry Hoe

... 3800 because I find a mix of gold and steel always to look a bit cheapish. The differences between the 5065 and the present 5165 are not that big and in hot days an Aquanaut is such a pleasure to wear. You could also sell both and buy back something c...
the size change ...
By: COUNT DE MONET : June 29th, 2010-11:01
What I do not get at the moment is the change in size that you are going through. Both present watches that you own are 38 mm and your new aquisition is a 43 mm. Have you tried one 5712 on yet? As an advise which to keep: keep rather the 5065 as a 43 mm N...
Thank you all for your advice !

The 5712 is in stainless steel I forgot to mention one thing, although i will be getting it in the next 2 to 4 months, i will not be wearing it for the next 20 months as it is for my 50th birthday and will only see wrist time from then on-wards.
keep

Hi James If there are 20 Month before you will use the watch, than I would say keep all 3. Look at it this way: In 20 Month have you probably anyway bought a few more watches. And can you live with only to be able to wear one PP for the next 20 long Month...
two-tone
By: watch-er : July 1st, 2010-07:05
I may be alone on this but I think the two tone is a very dated look of a short term fad in the 1980's following the Rolex lead. I think all steel, same color gold or all plat. is the traditional and lasting way to go. So, I would sell the two tone Nautil...
