Hi All, I had a chance encounter with a Patek collector and wore his 5711P 40th which has different ...
personalities from dark blue to light vibrant blue ! The diamonds are actually very subtle and the heft is to die for ! How do you like this reference? Cheers, Gordon ...
Yes, IMO, 5711 P 40th is very special, and the
5711P special client is just pure Patek DNA for understated elegance!

Thanks Karl for the information ! IMO, a version made with...
steel would be the ultimate Nautilus PC ! Do you think the steel make sense from a business perspective for Patek?
I see SS as a LE but not part of stsndard range.
Prices of WG would drop and that would seriously irritate some of the very collectors PP have rewarded by offering them this watch.
Given how the market’s insatiable appetite for Patek (and Rolex) steel sport watches, a regular ...
steel 5740 might cost at retail more than a G ! LOL !
