Dr.kol provides an exclusive, in-depth look at the Patek Philippe Nautilus 40th Anniversary models, offering candid wrist shots and initial impressions. His access to these highly anticipated references allows for a real-world perspective beyond official press releases, helping collectors evaluate their design and wearability. This post sparked a significant discussion among enthusiasts regarding Patek Philippe's design choices and market reception.

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 than the one based of press pictures.

I am very grateful for my friends in Patek who gave me this opportunity.

But let's have a look. The pictures are taken with iPhone 7 and they are not modified in any ways. In order to help you to understand the sizes, my wrist is 8 inches/200 mm.

 

























































Now it would be great to hear your opinions.

Best regards,

Kari

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

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

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. For me, these 2 watch are very interesting and go much further than a standard choice for an anniversary celebration Patek wanted to remain discreet (though the buzz made it louder of course). Yes, baguettes are definitely not the most commun des

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 dial colour. The feeling is pretty much the same. The anniversary printing is quite hard to notice. It does not really disturb when the watch is on the wrist. One thing I was surprised about: the chronograph counter is really three dimensional
