neither the Patek website nor the catalogue do it justice - i've seen some decent wrist shots so maybe there's a duty on you to supplement with further wrist shots wink

After a few years away from patek. I am back with what is the most comfortable watch I have ever worn. The colour changes on the dial in different light is amazing. Very content with my choice.

I cannot agree more. I sold my 5711 in 2009 for a 5712. I then got a 5980 and then 5167A and, suprise suprise, I ordered a 5711 (again) which should arrive before Christmas. After all 5711 is the best daily wear and I will keep her that way for many years...

I at once owned a 5711/1A, a 5712/1A and a 5980/1A, ultimately selling the last two and keeping only the 5711/1A. I am probably in the minority on this forum in preferring the simplicity of the 5711/1A to the complications of the 5712/1A and 5980/1A. I be...

i opted for the 5711 over the 5980 earlier this year. in a perfect world i would have both but im more than happy with the 5711 at this stage. The only thing i had to do was get the one and half link added to the bracelet to ensure perfect comfort. regard... 

I was caught between 5711 and 5712 few years ago

Due to the cleaner and brighter dial on the 5711, you can tell which is more outstanding when you standing 5-8 feet away. Without hesitation i choose 5711.

Got a photo.

Managed to figure out how to post a photo. You would need 200 photos to see all the different colours in different light conditions....  

love it

a real sport watch (waterproof) that is also thin and elegant enough to go under a shirt sleeve. the ohter choice is 5712 but is not waterproof. But both of them are magic.

ive taken the same photo!

On most people I think it can look very small

Love this Nautilus base model

For the jumbo size, the thin case, the simple dial, and the elegant bracelet.
