I could see one some months ago in Paris. 

My favorite detail in this watch? Its dial, the complex hue of grey blue, which is quite difficult to capture in picture. 







Best,

Nicolas

very elegant sports watch in deed... other than a 'date window' debate, the clasp update similar to an Aquanaut or the WG Nautilus would be a great improvement in the next gen of this timepiece imho Best, mahesh.,

Don't get me wrong, I really like this 5711/1A blue dial. Maybe I should wear it more often to convince myself 🤷‍♂️😜

By the way, did Patek change the Blue dial on the current 5711's? I just noticed that Patek web site calls the dial Black-Blue!
