This watch definitely has some heft. It wears heavy and when worn all day can leave a slight mark on the wrist. Not that it’s an issue but certainly the mark of happiness 😂😂😂!

Sitting by the window at The Astor Place in St. Regis New York…with the 5711/1P ...
A+++
Isn’t this the 40th anniversary platinum piece? Why isn’t the “40 1978-2016” stamp at 6 o’clock evident on the dial? Was that not included in the Tiffany pieces?
Hi Aymen, it is not -- interestingly, this is considered the "original" 5711/1P version, an out-of-catalog iteration reserved (for much longer that people would think...) to select collectors, and in production since before the 2016 limited edition.
The extra "T" signature is simply due to the AD that allocated this specific watch. As is probably well known, because of the special relationship between "T" and Patek dating back to the 1800's, "T" is currently the only AD authorized to co-sign a Patek ...
Very interesting, I didn’t know there was a non-anniversary version.
Nor would I have guessed it to be before the 40th anniversary edition. Truly a beautiful and unique piece for only select collectors…with the T version being notably limited. Thank you for the details, Fab. And congrats to Patekfinity on such a special pi...

I am blessed to have been given an opportunity to own this reference. Since I wear all my watches, I happen to be in NYC and had HSWA take a look to make sure it it was in proper working condition. The representative there remarked how it was still runnin...
Fab, why don’t you have any Nautilus versions?
Given your spectrum of PP models and materials, I would think you want the Nautilus line represented as well, unless you still waiting for them to develop something you really like.🤔
Thanks my friend, and yes, I initially also bought a Nautilus (waaay before the hype!), but soon passed it on to a dear childhood friend who enjoys it daily in Singapore :-) I'm VERY thankful though that my last 5 Pateks are all Rare Handcrafts! :-)
My former 5711/1A-011 (I guess not a picture I show often ) 5177G-028, 5177G-010, 5088/100P, 5131/1P, and 5089G-020 ...
True, I recall now the Nautilus that you gifted to your friend a while back. as a
Certainly your current collection and taste for next-level artistic pieces are so much nicer and intriguing. I was just curious because you have an Aquanaut, so I wondered what of a Nautilus…but I see you had that covered.👍🏽
Thanks, like probably other collectors I'm not as much into sports Pateks anymore after starting to explore Rare Handcrafts....even if for obvious reasons, my one and only Aquanaut, a 5167, remains one of the watches I wear the most as a daily! :-)
PS: Even if I know I'm a wonderful friend and human being ( ), to be always honest it wouldn't be fair of me to say that 5711 was a "gift"! ;-) (No speculation either on my part, of course -- that will never happen with a Patek! ) Cheers.
🤣Nevertheless, I still make the case it was a gift…
because no way one would have been easily able to get that beautiful white dial version without premium, and I’ll bet that version wasn’t even in production any longer at the time you gave it away.👍🏽

With the release of the 5811G….it sort of has the similar blue dial of the 5811G(I think).
5711p is perfect ! maybe it's heavy・・・
In Japan, the Ritz-Carlton has four locations in Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, and Okinawa, while the St. Regis is only located in Osaka.

💯🤩🤩🤩
Definitely! It has been worn more often than not…just with recent crime and wrist injuries, I would not dare to wear this in an open cafe setting. The location here was perfect when the maitre d’ sat me next to the window for breakfast. I felt this was a ...
Wow 🤩 the 5711P special client for a
special place ! Did anyone notice you were taking wrist shots ? 🤣

Thank you Gordon! Haha…perks of a window. Was not disturbed by people although this particular area of the restaurant is less occupied 😉
