Patek Philippe

Seen it, handled it, and got official answer from Patek...

 

Fist, the pics.

Delivery date for the new owner!










Congrats!







Owner cut the cake.. umn... plastic.






Beautiful deep see blue color dial!






See the tiny (due to the thinness of the case) diamond which is the signature of P models?


On the owner's wrist.






And in MY hand.










These photo can't do justice to the beauty of the dial.






PT950


Genta cousins....


SS 5711 on the left and 5711/1 P-010 on the right.






Now on my wrist...














I wouldn't mind owning one smile














Sorry, couldn't resist....  Another Genta masterpiece....


SS and P on both wrists of someone.

...plus 5722...



Now, the official answer from Patek is "we cannot answer in detail".  But it seems to be certain that this is the LAST one left in their drawer - the story seems that someone very in the high in the customer list ordered 5 or so special order for this, but somehow one was left in the drawer and this new owner fetched during the factory trip.  So, chances are they will never make this again and you can not order this one or buy one new......  Not sure this is 100% true, but this is what Patek and AD who kept bugging Patek to tell the story told us....


Anyway, yes, very pretty and beautiful piece.  I used to own 3711G but G was a bit yellowish.  This P is totally white metal and so nice.

Congrats!  New owner!

Have a great week, everyone!

Best,
Ken

A bit more info about .... the Nautilus 5711 ....Platinum

 
By: Bruno.M1 : July 21st, 2013-01:15
We heard many rumors, others hoped for a platinum icon Not so long ago a picture popped up. So yes, it does exist Now the question seems to be, how many were made, are they available ? Can I order one .... or was it a piece unique ? Well, I can share you ... 

That is a matter of choice .....

 
By: tic-toc : July 21st, 2013-01:53
...... if I have to choose ? I take the Nautilus. Considering there is probably about 2500+ pieces of pp 5960PT , not including rose gold already in the market. But at the quoted price as stated by you ... certainly, it is also a $$$ factor. I thank YOU s... 

know that

 
By: Bruno.M1 : July 21st, 2013-02:28
know that most AD are not aware (yet) of this piece. I mailed with some people / friends all over the world and they asked more info via their AD ...All of them got the answer that they are not aware of a 5711P :-)

It is just sooooo ....

adorable. I just love the idea and it must be "real pain" to produce it in platinum. Even in steel, lots of skills & time are needed to produce such an outstanding bracelet and case. For sure it is not a bargain, but maybe a bargain for what it is. Ju... 

I got more or less the same info

 
By: Fricks : July 21st, 2013-09:39
As for the choices, u can get a 5960P and a 5711A for the same price. That being said, I wish that had a 5726P with a blue dial. That would be to die for

Its amazing how subtle...

Patek Philippe can be, the 5711p is exceptional ;) the weight and feel is so so good the little diamond at the bottom with the simplicity of the dial works miracles... Enjoying every minute of it ...  

... and good looking.

platinum shines bright, but with this level of finishing, its as good as it can be. Do you have a pics of the dial where we can see how different it is from the steel version? Congratulations and wear it in good health

It looks amazing ...

especially the dial! May I ask one favour? Could you please tell me the total weight of the watch? Thanks! Best, Oliver

are superb - on the owners and your wrist :-) Love that "powerfull" blue dial! Thanks a lot, my friend! Please tell the owner a big thanks for sharing, as well. And of course congrats, to him! Best, Oliver

The ocean blue dial is exquisite.

 
By: Iceman : July 22nd, 2013-19:14
But 85 K chf exquisite? I am not so sure. I love the watch for its simplicity and beauty. Thks for sharing with us. Best Iceman

"simplicity and beauty" is the key for sure ...

 
By: small-luxury-world : July 24th, 2013-05:43
but we should not forget about the additional efforts (more powerfull machines, extra skills, extra t i m e ...) needed to produce it. I guess the "business case" is much better for PP if they sell any other regular production watch for the same amount of... 

DID anyone find out ........ ??

 
By: tic-toc : July 23rd, 2013-00:55
...... where exactly did these pics and event took place ?? well, turns out ( and this is my guess ) the champagne glasses , the champagne , and the party was held in Ginza, Japan.

True...

... but I did not say it was a secret :-) Ken

Thanks Ken..........

For your very timely answer and photos. Congratulations to the new owner. As rare and unique as this piece is, unless I was mega rich, which I am not :) There would others Patek Philippe's that I would choice first, including the original 5711, before thi... 

I am sticking with SS

 
By: Myopiccoog : July 24th, 2013-15:56
The SS 5711 is a great daily beater. I would not wear a P every day.

I am a bit confused ? Can this reference be ordered ?

 
By: Aussie : July 29th, 2013-10:16
if yes, from the Geneve Salon only or is it available to the US market. Or should I stop dreaming. It is a heck of a watch and on very high on my wish list. It seems that I only get to admire these special references in photos instead of my wrist. Maybe o...
