Why is nobody talking about the circumstance that Patek is losing its credibility with this move?

The 2021 Patek Collection is live!

By: FabR : April 6th, 2021-22:06

Dear Friends, Please see: Patek Philippe Official Site | Luxury Watches for Men & Ladies for the very first images of the newest 2021 Patek releases! Four more Nautilus versions have now joined the collection, including two green-dialed 5711, a Rose gold ...

Patek Philippe

The 2021 Patek Collection is live!

So this new 5711/1A is a regular production and not the rumor end of line model?

Yes, I will know more as soon as I receive all the press material and after Monday's meeting, but as far as I can tell, this is indeed NOT a limited edition and will enter the regular catalog! ;-) Looks terrific, green indeed seems a big 2021 color :-)

Their press release states "Following the announcement that 2021 will be the last production year of the stainless steel model ref 5711/1A, Patek Philippe presents totally new olive green sunburst dial for this icon of casual elegance.

Correct, I quoted the same line from a press document that I have below, in response to your comment👍

Many thanks for the update

Correct, my understanding is that neither model is a limited edition. Will certainly update you as I learn more ;-) Cheers.

PS: I can confirm it is not a limited edition but it will stay in the collection for at most one year; in fact, "2021 will be the last production year of the stainless steel model Ref. 5711/1A."👍

It is clear from their press release 2021 will be the last production year of 5711/1A.

That's how I read it too: should production of the 5711/1300A (in fact, of any non-5711/1A reference) extend beyond 2021, that would *not* contradict the language of this document👍

Awesome!!

Yep, these are of course only the new Nautilus releases, I definitely expect more during the next few days. But perhaps it will be a surprise to many, this new green-dialed 5711 in the regular catalog! :-) Thanks for commenting.

No way really Green！！！

That's what Volker was asking in the other thread -- we had to make him happy! ;-))) Cheers.

Lol. You can call me crazy but I think I prefer the green dial version with diamond set bezel.

Steel (rather than the more obvious Platinum) and diamonds...just sublime!😉👍

In that case I am crazy too :))

In total agreement ;-) Here's a couple more images of the /1300A version:

I changed my order to /1300A earlier today.

I would think the offer/demand ratio will still be higher than for the /1A, and so your odds, though of course it’s anybody’s guess at this time...wish you the best of luck!👍🥂

Agree, it’s also 2.5 times the price of the /1A.

I think she would get along pretty well with my girlfriend...;-))

I am guessing it is no mean feat to apply those stones in that steel bezel.

.... and shaping them so that they fit the bezel perfectly.

+1, Patek’s gemsetting ability is very much at the top, it’s enough to compare with any of the aftermarket jobs that we see sometimes to realize how superior their craft is...definitely worth a significant delta in MSRP in my opinion👍🥂

I totally agree...

Ok, just woke up

Yes, this green version is the one that is closing out the *5711* series, so it is definitely the same (change in dial only in one version, plus addition of the diamonds on the bezel in the other).

Yep, I replied to your post before you corrected it. This is indeed the 5711 ;-)

Thank you

No problem, I'm 6 hours behind Italy but still have to go to bed to make the live announcements! ;-))

Thanks for sharing, I see why they have done it and I’m sure they will be hugely popular but I can’t help but feel underwhelmed

Thanks for commenting, no doubt about the future popularity of these models, especially (but not only) the plain green version! Obviously there's been no major novelty so far, but more will come ;-)

Looking forward to it 😀👍

👍👍🥂

A few more HD pictures for the 5711 that I just received:

And a couple more stunning ones for the 5990/1R -- hard not to fall in love with this new iteration! :-)

It looks stunning

Better than in the real, indeed, these 5990 pictures are totally amazing! ;-)

I would have loved to have seen this on a strap! Otherwise nice evolution.

Thanks for commenting Chris, I agree it's a reference that would look great also on a strap...so I wouldn't be surprised if this happens in the future ;-)

It is official. Green is the new Blue.

Indeed, while I guess this new 5711 was going to be a blast no matter its dial color, it looks like 2021 has started out "very green"! :-) We'll certainly see more during the next few days (and nights! :-))

And finally, a new family shot of the 2021 Nautilus releases:

New version of Unobtainus? :)

For sure both the green 5711 and the 5990/1R will be extremely hard to get, I think there's no doubt about it...but I agree it will be interesting to see how the broader Nautilus market reacts after the introduction of these two iterations! ;-) Cheers.

Agree! 👍🏼

The green dial looks interesting. I wonder if they changed the clasp at all.

Yep, thanks for commenting Nasseriq -- here's the best shot I have of the clasp:

is it same as now running models ?

Yes, I would assume it is the same fold-over clasp as the previous iteration👍

Alas I wished they switched to the new “double clasp” of the 5740G, 7118 and Aquanauts ... its so much more practical and hardy

Thank you for the close up. Looks similar to the current one.

My pleasure, and I believe you are correct -- no updates to the clasp with the respect to the earlier model.

Here are the official MSRPs of the four versions, which are also available on Patek's website. (According to this document, which I just received, Ref. 7118 will appear in both R and G. I'm sure Patek's site will soon report it as well.)

If these prices are correct I see another price increase ASAP

Yep, I received these prices directly from Patek, and are essentially the same as those available on the official site (+/- $3, for some reason :-)

The green looks great and seems to not be as matte as the green on the 5168G

Thanks for commenting and good observation, I believe this olive green is different from both the 5168 in the regular catalog and the earlier 5167A limited edition. It also "never existed before in the Nautilus collection." Cheers ;-)

What a beauty... Very nice but...

Hopefully it will be with the ADs at $34.8k for a while before we start seeing it on C24 for $300k..🙏😂

Where Is the 41 mm no date platinum 6711 LE?

Hidden for the next generation. ;)

+ 1

Good question ... I had expected them to announce a limited edition “last run” 5711 reference ... perhaps it will still be released later this year?

The 5711/1A-014 is the farewell series of the 5711/1A (produced for a very limited period of time only).

Haha got it ... limited time = limited edition

Yep, this is the one. Not a limited edition, but it will be produced for at most one year (and it will be the final *stainless steel* 5711/1A iteration ;-) Cheers.

It's an exclusive of the Instagram world for now...;-))

Nice one

Thanks, I'm also looking forward to seeing it in person! Hopefully a bit later than July...but I have no doubt you'll soon find some "naughty" customers who won't resist making a quick extra $50k (or $150k? ;-))

That was fast delivery

No problem for the link -- that was FAST! ;-)) Make it 2 in a 1000 who won't apply for a Nautilus this year, though it's arguably a stunning new color (and if offered, I'll indicate someone else ;-)

Thanks Fab for this post ! 👍. Green 5711 looks great and this farewell version will...

Thanks Gordon, no doubt about it! ;-))

A good shade of green is very difficult IMO

i am from the minority who would have preferred the last version of 5711...

Truly stunning also the 5990, indeed! Thanks for commenting ;-)

That's how I read it too: should production of the 5711/1300A (in fact, of any non-5711/1A reference) extend beyond 2021, that would not contradict the language of this document👍

Yes, this green version is the one that is closing out the 5711 series, so it is definitely the same (change in dial only in one version, plus addition of the diamonds on the bezel in the other).
