Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711/1A-011
I was just browsing the forum this morning and I saw some photos of an aquanaut dual time zone - probably one of the ideal summer casual companions.
In my typical week end walk downtown I saw in the display window of my local Patek boutique two aquanauts.
As these are not very often in stock and fresh from the forum inspiration I decided to go inside and have a look. As soon as I arrived I was told that after months the Nautilus I always wanted (there is a very big waiting list for all nautilus in steel - less long for the white dial which I love and wanted) was waiting for me !
So here are some photos of my third Patek (joining a 5127 and a the golden ellipse 3738/100G-012) that joins me just in time for the summer !
The Nautilus has always been my favourite Patek ever but it is simply very difficult to find (the traditional in steel, complicated
Nautilus seems more available here). This said I am glad that I didn't get one before as I really love the white dial. I have seen previous post and I understand that is not as loved as the traditional blue dial one but the white is so much more special to me.
When I joined the waiting list for the this Nautilus 5711/1A-011 I could also try the 5712G-001 but I can now see the point of steel for a sporty/water watch. I am in love this classic one but pretty much each nautilus has something special. The 5712G-001 was also very nice but I tend to prefer white/silvered dials and obviously there is also a price difference 
The Nautilus 5711/1A-011 feels very comfortable and light on the wrist. It is the most comfortable steel bracelet I have ever tried. I know that there are already plenty of other photos of this Nautilus in the forum but I hope that you would not mind seeing some more from one of the few owners that prefers a white to a blue Nautilus
What do you think of the Nautilus 5711/1A-011? What do you like/dislike about it ? If you are a Nautilus or Aquanaut owner don't be shy and share some photos of your favourite summer companion !

I will be honest. For me, the magic of the Nautilus, whatever it is, is
Its Blue Grey dial...
The nuance is highlmy captivating.
In white, the magic goes away, a bit.
But the most important is your conviction on this Watch!
Congratulations.
Here is a picture of my Ex 5712:

thanks for the pic ..yes white is not
for everyone ! I think the Patek production reflects this. I think the White will still have a nice of people that like it more. I find it very special at the sun. It is probably the special patterns of the dial that makes it look so unique!
Agreed, blue is the color for Nautilus...
White do look a bit "flat" and surgical even but it is refreshingly nice as well... This is on my mrs wrist, she loves white, being a doctor, this suit her profession and matches her her white 458 Italia too..
HAGWE.. Cheers! ... James

very nice !
it looks very nice on her ! sorry for my ignorance but what is the "white 458 Italia" ?
Thanks

Congratulations, you aquired the great watch!
Thats great choice and i am also thinking about white dial Nau.
I think that white dial would match fantastically with white crispy formal shirt and dark grey or navy blue suit.
Could you please make a such foto? With white shirt?
Thanks a lot and enjoy your new beauty!
Ed
thank you ! will try with a white shirt :)
Thank you for the kind comments. I will try it on Monday with a white shirt and I will try to post a photo. If you can find one in person you should really try it !
here it is with a white shirt
I think it looks great with a white shirt and at the sun the color changes to an ivory ... truly gorgeous !
Thank you! Awesome!
As expected its so clean and understated with the formal shirt and suit! Thanks a lot!!!!
Ed
A great choice, congrats!
The indices really pop on the white dial and it gives a younger and more refreshing look IMO. Perfect for summer wear.
The steel Nautilus is the most comfortable, refined and most sophisticated SS watch bar none IMO.
I would have a hard time deciding between the blue or white dial version but neither is a bad choice.

Congratulations, it is always pleasing.....
To read about a member who for years has waited to get a certain piece has then finally achieved their goal.
Was your visit to the boutique pre-planned or did you not know that your Patek awaited you?
In which case was a lovely surprise.
pure chance !
It was pure chance as I had almost forgotten about my nautilus waiting list. I just went in to see and try some of the aquanauts that were on display (for example the rose gold that seems to have an higher availability than other aquanauts!) and then I was told that my Nautilus was there. When I saw it with my name on it I had to get it ! 
A very refreshing offer
Very nice catch Christian and huge congratulations!
I own a blue dial 5712 and I LOVE it.
But, as I love Nautiluses, I was closely looking at the white dial 5711 + 5726.
The contrast between the colors (indexes vs dial) makes it more "punchy" but it is still a very appealing watch.
You've made a great choice as I wouldn't rank the blue vs white in a way or another. They are just different but both very attracting.
Don't hesitate to share many more pics in the future 
Cheers,
Mark
Congrates on your 1st nautilus.
What ever the metal or color is, as long as you love it nothing else matters.
Mine say hallo and welcome to the nautilus club.
indeed mark...
the Blue is an all time favourite the 5711/1A-010 being very hard to get. White is less in demand but I think that production takes that into account too so it was a few months wait anyway. It is good to have options and I am very happy that they decided to made a white one too ! It is very legible and I truly love the white dials - I have a 5127G (it was my first patek) and the dial is just so classic but I am left wondering if it is as white as the one of the 5711/1A-011. The movement is the same one which has pretty much all I need (time and date).
Perhaps the fact that is difficult to get makes it more magic ! (it seems to be the same with some Hermes bags, this is certainly a good marketing strategy!).
Congrats on your first Nautilus!
I recently just got my first one as well
The white one is definitely an interesting choice

Well I got the 5712/1A
That only comes in a blue dial
Not so hard to find these Nautilus in the market these days

Simply...
Stunning. Any time a classic changes, there will always be people who disapprove. In my opinion, the white Nautilus is unexpected and beautiful, truly the ‘daring version’ of an icon. For those highlighting the nuances of the blue dial (which are really nice too), I’d recommend giving a more tolerant look to the white model in person: the dial navigates from plain white to silvery shades and lots of ivory. It is breathtaking…
couldn't agree more .. white is...
truly special under the sun. I have some experience with more exotic patek dials like the one of the golden ellipse and, while it is stunning too, the white has such a fantastic legibility and candor that makes it truly special. I am pretty happy that is not for everyone else it would be even harder to find
I did try the 5712G too and, even if the patek grey dials are very special, I find the white better for summer/sun etc.
This said I think that the Nautilus is such a special and magic watch what every model will have an audience. Great that Patek had the boldness to try something new !
Congrats! i think the white looks great. rather adds to the mould than breaking it
here's my blue 5711
gorgeous in blue too !! ..
Truly gorgeous - thank you for the nice photos. I absolutely think the "simple" nautilus time only is among the most iconic and versatile watches made by patek. To me it is a true pleasure to wear on a daily basis ..scratches aside (but I guess this is part of making the watch part of your own history!) I own other similar watches like an AP Royal Oak Day-date gold and I think the nautilus style + size and fit beats it by far !
