Nautilus 40 years Anniversary models
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
Many thanks Kari for the photos ! As I expected,
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

True! The diamonds are not "Bling Bling"
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 and executed in a great way by using there a darker blue.

Wow, based on your renewed feelings, you ...
need to get both then !
Best of luck and let us know how it goes.

p.s. Based on official photos, I thought and hoped that the blue in he dials for 40th would be a lighter and brighter one than the regular 5711. Obviously not after you have seen them in the metal. :-(

Question Kari is which one sings to you more and you want to target it ? [nt]

Fantastic wine, beautiful women, fast cars and platinum all belong to my weaknesses. [nt]

i think those are things that make you strong :)
with the things you listed above, who needs watches.
My Mrs. do not always seem to agree...
But implement the classic Greek democracy in my household consisting four daughters, wife and a bitch dog:
"One Man, one Vote".

Thanks a lot for sharing!
From the picture seems the engraving on dial is almost invisible? Is it so in real life? If so it will be a great news: subtle engrave that you will only notice at certain angleļ¼
The anniversary print is nearly invisible and please note that the watch is much smaller
than the press photos or mine. I guess the owner will see the text because the owner knows that the print is there. But for sure a person next to the owner will not see the print nor understand that the indexes are actually diamonds.
Best, Kari
okay than the time only is totally for you :) if you don't get it
you might regret it like the previous platinum Nautilus. This watch is certainly not going to lose a lot of value..so if someone that loves nautilus can afford it should go for it.
Yes. And no.
I see your point. What has caused a lot of thinking to me is the idea I have about Nautilus: A luxury watch made of steel.
Best, Kari
I think they are yours if you decide to order them.
This is in light of PP allowing you to play and take photos for this awesome post!
I guess that I would have reasonable changes to get one or two.
But I have been a relatively good client and I know that Patek appreciate their "regulars".
Best, Kari
the Naughty-Lust ! Get them both Kari, they are simply stunning.
and maybe you manage to get me one 5711, too? Go for them, they are really nice watches. Best Moritz
Naughty-Lust. That's a good one.
If I get something, one is enough. Are you looking for 5711A or P?
Best
Kari
I already loved them!
Great shots and the dial on the 5711P looks absolutely stunning when it goes very dark blue/black.
The blue brings into my mind Andaman Sea
and its deep blue waters. By the way: one of the finest diving spots of the whole world.
If I would buy (and get the allocation), I would use once 5711P and a dive. No weights needed on the left side...
