Should i sell 2 Rolex for 1 Patek?
As some of you already know, i recently acquired a Patek 5726/1A and really enjoy every moment of it. i am thinking to sell my 2 Rolex (GMT IIc + Yachtmaster I gold/steel) for Patek 5711 to complete my collection of Patek Nautilus. Is this a wise choice? Thanks in advance for your comments.I forget to mention that i still would need to add a bit more $ (around 7k) to get the 5711...even after selling both Rollies.
