Let's hope we'll see grey prices as late as possible...though it’ll certainly happen and they will be *huge* -- no doubt about that ;-)

OMG, what a beast!
I could never wear it, but I love it! Show us more, please, what else you have? 😇
Bling indeed
Looks remarkably more blingy in real life than in the press pictures. ...
The green is growing on me... stunning.
Since it will be impossible at retail, it will be interesting to see the grey price here for both references.
The cold as ice “ice cubes” 🧊🧊 add...
character to this farewell series. Also, the cubes cost more the steel watch itself 🤣
I can understand and appreciate why collectors like this edition.
It is not yet my style to have ice on the bezel because only in recent years that I accepted diamond hour markers which are discrete enough (5711 40th and 5170P) for me. Perhaps in time.
That’s an amazing watch.
I agree. Best looking Nautilus available. Great modern facelift by Patek.
Trying hard to follow forum guidelines here...
... but this diamond-studded model is a nouveau riche atrocity, and you could you could buy so much better and more from this brand or others for the same price. Seriously. Someone had to say it. (I feel better now.)
It's a reasonable opinion, which you expressed politely, so be reassured that it's 100% welcome on WPS ;-) (Note: Of course I *completely* disagree with it, but that's a different story! ;-))
Ironically, at the cost of sounding equally dramatic, it might be more of an issue in the short term that these two new 5711s received such an overwhelmingly *positive* response since we presented them three nights ago, even though I'm obviously very happ...
Just to be clear...
... I quite like the one *without* the diamonds; my beef is with the bling version. But obviously I’m not going to get the diamondless 5711 either, because Patek decided not to build the capacity needed to supply demand. Which is a shame for me and countl...
Why the 5711 production is "limited" (very relatively speaking, especially for Patek's standards) is a topic we discussed and analyzed countless times, but I can understand your disappointment if you'd like a given watch and can't get it allocated.
Always to be 100% honest, I simply can NOT see a likely scenario in which this huge delta in demand vs. production will change anytime soon, when it comes to Patek (and also for select few other brands, though often for different reasons). If you're inter...
It’s ok!
I have in fact cultivated ADs, though I have not spent my chits on the Nautilus.
Free world and everyone has their choice and opinions
Whatever floats your boat ...I do like timepieces with baguettes and I have been collecting them for the last 3 decades .. good example is the Daytona white gold with baguette bezel, Rolex Daytona platinum with baguette diamond index , Patek 5170p with ba...
