Any reasons people prefer 5711 "Blue" than 5711 "White"

Full disclosure, I’m not a Patek owner but if legibility counts for anything, the white dial does it for me.

5711 Blue, it’s the icon classic look, the shade of Blue

The white is this off white silvery dial kind of flat relative. Plus the black keys...personally I think has too much of a contrast vs being complementary.



If u have a choice go for blue. If u don’t have a choice go for whatever they give u

+ 1.

To me, the white is spectacular. The color dynamics and different hues of ivory are just marvelous. Plenty of cool pictures to be seen. Check out these on IG...

The AD called and asked if I would take a white and passed. Damn are those nice!!!! I think I should have taken it since it has been over a year waiting for a blue one.
