Patek Philippe

Dear Friends, I do not comment yet these watches. Even Patek Philippe were very aware of my earlier comments, I was offered an opportunity to study the watches closer. I took wrist shots from different angles in order to help you to form a better idea tha...  

Best, Kari ...  

the diamond markers do not look bling bling and printing of the years look quite subtle. Do the dials have the same blue hue ? How does the blue compare to regular 5711 and 5711P ? Cheers, Gordon

It's even difficult to realise that diamonds are used when the watch is on the wrist. The dials are more blue and less grey than the standard dial. I can't say about the standard 5711P - I handled the watch a lot a year ago but can't say exactly about the... 

need to get both then ! Best of luck and let us know how it goes. Cheers, Gordon p.s. Based on official photos, I thought and hoped that the blue in he dials for 40th would be a lighter and brighter one than the regular 5711. Obviously not after you have ... 

and I'm thinking hard if I should get one. Best, Kari

with the things you listed above, who needs watches.

But implement the classic Greek democracy in my household consisting four daughters, wife and a bitch dog: "One Man, one Vote". Best, Kari

I do not love them enough to put my name on the list. Great photos +++++ Thank you Kari. Best, Patrickh

From the picture seems the engraving on dial is almost invisible? Is it so in real life? If so it will be a great news: subtle engrave that you will only notice at certain angle！

than the press photos or mine. I guess the owner will see the text because the owner knows that the print is there. But for sure a person next to the owner will not see the print nor understand that the indexes are actually diamonds. Best, Kari

I hope every fan would get at least one. Best, Kari

you might regret it like the previous platinum Nautilus. This watch is certainly not going to lose a lot of value..so if someone that loves nautilus can afford it should go for it.

I see your point. What has caused a lot of thinking to me is the idea I have about Nautilus: A luxury watch made of steel. Best, Kari

This is in light of PP allowing you to play and take photos for this awesome post!

But I have been a relatively good client and I know that Patek appreciate their "regulars". Best, Kari

and maybe you manage to get me one 5711, too? Go for them, they are really nice watches. Best Moritz

If I get something, one is enough. Are you looking for 5711A or P? Best Kari

Great shots and the dial on the 5711P looks absolutely stunning when it goes very dark blue/black.

and its deep blue waters. By the way: one of the finest diving spots of the whole world. If I would buy (and get the allocation), I would use once 5711P and a dive. No weights needed on the left side... Best, Kari

.

belt that I do not need much weights. Perhaps 2 x 5711P would do. Best, Kari

Would make for a great underwater photo opportunity.

I like them and have put my name down for both, but I am not bullish on chances!

two do you like better? For me, I like the 5711 more because of my small wrist. The chrono would fit you well ! Cheers, Gordon

I think the Chrono because of the size but having seen neither in the flesh I need to reserve judgment! What remains clear is that the live photos are indeed giving a far more appealing impression of them both.

The AD can submit your name on their allocation, and place a wait list for next year.

First, thank you very much for sharing those wristshots, they are very rare and often low quality, this will definitely help people make a little clearer opinion but especially allow watch fans to have a closer look at them. It is much appreciated Kari. F... 

When 3700 was introduced 40 years ago, Patek fans were screaming. Such design, steel, weird, non-Patek and everything one can imagine. Forty years later Patek wanted to shake again and get strong reactions just like they got 40 years earlier. I heard in G... 

Loved them from the beginning. Absolutely gorgeous watches, for me the 5711 is by far the best Thanks for these live pics Kari

The 5711 is beautiful and I would say a killer if it wasn\'t for that writing on the dial. The chrono is simply to big (for my taste). And I\'ve got the same wrist size as you so it\'s absolutely doable but the size just doesn\'t fit the watch IMO. It isn... 

I could wear the chrono without problems. It has the same thickness as 5980 and in a bigger case the watch wears slim! Best, Kari

for the chrono wil come in a steel version?

My only comment is that they are suppose to be sport watches in the maritime mode , so to be made of platinum would contradict the sports mode then it has bling. Making it more dress watch than a sports watch. But this just my opinion. But its an annivers... 

I refused one year ago the standard 5711P by saying "Nautilus is a maritime inspired sports watch and it should be made of steel". A month later I regretted but the watch was gone already. I think it's suitable to celebrate 40 years with a platinum versio... 

you might regret it! I would also say that is a good investment.

However, I am buying only watches I also wear. Investments: I like e.g. land. Best, Kari

you found it too heavy than no. My experience with a full platinum watch is limited to the day date 36mm platinum. After one or two days I was totally okay with the weight and I don't regret buying it. In fact it is one of the watches I wear the most. Thi... 

and I always love the additional weight the material gives. Furthermore, I love the cold platinum colour. So the weight is not the issue. Best, Kari

Thanks for sharing the pics Kari. Out of curiosity, Is this blue the same as the \'other\' 5711P?

But I played with the standard 5711P one year or so ago. Anyhow, the blue is great! Best, Kari

Don\'t think too many people will have seen both yet.

Still not loving the epitaph on the dial, but that's it. Many customers will be happy to receive their anniversary nautilus

version and the chronograph movement is the same as in 5980. I did not take photos from the back because I did not want to show the serial #. Best, Kari

In my opinion, the watch looks much better than expected!

loved them both from the beginning, (except the price .....) so that means i will have to sell some pieces of my collection to fund these whenever i would be able to get them but I think I would wear them a lot so that 's a good reason i guess

I think that if you love them and would also wear the watches, it's the way to go! Best, Kari

Thank you Kari for these great pictures

They stand on their own as anniversary pieces and should be appreciated as such.

I just wonder how much the fifty years anniversary watches will glitter... I hope they rather go towards complications. Best, Kari

Enter your post text ...  

...  

1. the size 2. the anniversary print 3. the diamonds The only thing which is better is the kork Box

.and concerning the diamonds ... I don't like luminova so I might prefer discrete diamond baton markers

taking into account that they are diamonds. Best, Kari

How does the 5711p weight feels? Heavier than what you own for example?

It's heavier than the WG oversized chronograph. But it feel cool and good! Best, Kari

Can\'t wait... Do you have an approximate delivery date ? Whole year or two years of manufacturing?

But the question is will you order one...? I sense your still not convinced and I assume it is the writing on the dial which although is subtle when viewed in real life is obviously still maybe an issue..? What would you do if they put the diamonds on the... 

I will buy ALS & VC. But I doubt. Perhaps I need to go for the platinum version. That would be something very different. Best, Kari

I'm interested to see what comes out next Basel from Rolex for their 50th anniversary....should be interesting. Andy.

like Submariner and Daytona. I think Rolex represent unbeatable value for our money. Best, Kari

previously I bashed the anniversary models from just one illustrated photo. Terrible on my behalf, your real life personal photos have inspired new respect into the models. Let us know which model you decide to buy.

The diamond indices are fine and actually look good, I don't usually like diamonds. I personally don't like the 40th anniversary on the dial, even though it does not look very obvious. Just not my thing. I prefer a dial with not too much writing. The size... 

However, in these watches the diamonds are not obvious. And I agree, the less text on the dial, the better. Best, Kari

even if you don't warm up to them they will become more valuable with time and you can still get your money back, if not more. They are special pieces after all. The question is whether you are going to get something that you have fallen in love with or a... 

made like new. Best, Kari

They are beautiful, especially the dark color changes on the dial. To be honest, I forgot about the date markings until it was mentioned on the posts. It just shows how subtle they are.

I have the pictured ones also in YG and RG. But my favorite are Nautilus cufflinks. Those are great with 3700, 5711, 5712 or 5980. Naturally with blue dial. Best, Kari

the "Wow" factor for the person contemplating the purchase? Is it something that literally creates a tingling sense of excitement and joy when looking at the watch in the metal. To buy a watch because, "I really don't like diamond markers but they don't l... 

Especially when it comes to Patek Philippe, people focus a lot on the value, the speculation etc... This is natural I guess but I think it should really come back to how a watch pleases us. There are many novelties I saw from Patek or other brands that we... 

Even we do not discuss value here, naturally people think about the same. If we buy a new Ferrari, that involves a lot of thinking and discussing and also in such a discussion value plays a big role. These two anniversary Nautilus cost as much as a Ferrar... 

It is normal to include this matter in the decision making, especially at these significant price points. Cheers, Mark

I\'m not a multi millionaire so I would never have bought all the watches I own now if I wouldn\'t be able to get at least 80% of the monetary value back of what I paid when I bought them (new). Obviously it\'s about the watch itself. But if they would on...
