I regret not getting one, it was still available at an AD in 2018. Went for a 5990 instead.

Thanks Gordon for persuading them to join the forum.

I came across this very interesting interview with Mr Stern. He had mentioned "we like to say goodbye to a special watch models with a little surprise. There will therefore be a fare-well series of the 5711, which will be a little different. These watches will be produced soon and launched this year

Furthermore the 6711/1T looks nothing like titanium. There are only 12 known pieces (all unique pieces) in titanium produced over the lat 180 years and it will be very unlikely Patek would introduce a regular 6711/1T into the collection.

5711/1R was also fitted with the new movement at the same time.

However that was not the case with the 5980R and it is also my favourite of the three 5980 iterations currently available. I was offered the opportunity to buy either a 5980R or a 5980/1R and I went with the 5980R due to its beautiful dial. If my AD can get a 5980/1AR before it being discontinued I

My AD (a small family owned) received 2 pieces and I was offered one but I turned it down and got the 5968A
