Incoming 5711

I received a call from my AD last week to say my 5711/1A was available to collect. I’ve only been on the waiting list for 6 months although I’ve bought from them before. I collected the watch today

I’m pleased with the look of the watch. It really looks smart with a long sleeved shirt or worn with a suit. The dial isn’t actually white although it photographs white. It’s more of a silvery, metallic off-white.

I passed up the opportunity to buy one of these 2 years ago. Now they’re £6500 more expensive. Hindsight eh?

My only quibble is the clasp. I think it could have been more elegant. I understand that Patek wanted an invisible mechanism to integrate seamlessly with the bracelet but I much prefer the clasp on my Aquanauts.

That being said, today I’ve accomplished my grail watch leaving me which one more watch on my radar for the foreseeable future. (Patek Philippe 5120G-001)

Beautiful! The date wheel on the same color as the dial and the black hour marks just work perfectly on this reference. My favorite of the three 5711 models in regular production. Congrats!
