5711. Simple (less to go wrong) and elegant.

GMT & a chronograph! Just offer it up in that blue dial, and it'd be perfect. 5990 all the way. SS pateks with complications seem to be a winning combination of late.

The 5990 is more sporty if you prefer the style, i like the 5711/1R much better for its elegance and the gold bracelet is just out of this world

Patek Philippe has the most stunning RG without a close second. 5711 1R is my pick for you.

haha for those been there done that, yes 5711/1R would be a clear cut. Am still waiting for my 5711/1A from AD so i am good to get 5990 before the big R. Cheers!

5711. although i concede the 5990 is more versatile because its steel but the 5711 knocks the 5990 out.
