Sincere congrats to our shy Purist on this allocation, Gordon — simply one of the most sought-after watches on this planet right now! Please feel free to post on our forum whenever you would like, and thoroughly enjoy this special 5711!😉🥂
A “shy” PuristS was very happy 😃 but too timid to post his green giant due to its controversy. Hence
I feel it is my duty to share his joy 🤩 and the lovely photos he showed me. His comments regarding the blue vs green: “ Blue is duller and not true blue like the P dial that is bright. The blue changes to grey bluish almost black depending on the light. B...
Just sort of underwhelmed….if it was green like on Weir 5905 or a Mecca 5130P would be fantastic….anyway congrats
To the owner…..wonderful to own
Mecca green on the 5711 would make it very bright !
IMO the 5711 green makes the dial more subtle.
Great timepiece! Even though I prefer the edges of the Royal Oak, I can see why others love the Nautilus.
And I think Patek chose a better green for its 5711 than the Green AP chose for its 15202. Whats most important is, that the owner enjoys wearing it.
Thanks Fab ! I will get more photos of interesting pieces from
other shy and/or lurking PuristS and non-WPS members.
You have to ask
if it wasn't a Nautilus (or it was a Nautilus but not during the current hype) and did not have the PP on the dial, would it still be in the headlines? Somehow I doubt it.
Fair comments from you.
To a large extent, the PP logo on Patek’s watches represents brand quality/equity which is a reason why people collect these timepieces (Nautilus or not).
I finally had the opportunity to see it a week ago
As is often said, it’s a complex and attractive shade. With my 5065 ...
Thanks for your comments and photos.
Did you ask your friend to swap watches for a few days ?😃
Congrats to the owner, lucky collector.
Thanks for sharing this amazing (and hyped) PP
Congratulations to the shy owner of the green giant! The green looks so sublime…it’s a perfect green to me
I only wish I can contribute some photos!!! Thank you for doing the honors for sharing, Gordon!
No wrapping/ protection for this
Patek collector ! He is not afraid of scratches and dings because these war scars add personality to his watches.😇
If we’re being honest… Not that impressed
This is coming from someone who has a white dial blue dial and rose gold and I like them all very much but the green represents the excesses of the success of this watch so it might sound funny and I would certainly take one if I was offered one at retail...
Thanks for your thoughts !
The over-popularity of the 5711 has created negative sentiment. Independent of the market demand for 5711, the green (as a dial color) generally seems to be well received, same as the blue. As to getting this green at retail, it would be challenging to tu...
