The 5711 is a obviously a very tight homage to the original.

But there are great watches in the mid century Patek pantheon that are just not represented well today, if at all.

Bring bag chunkier lugs, subseconds track printing, blue center seconds, no date, brushed instead of polished white gold, greater dome to crystals.

570 and 565 inspired pieces can be in precious metals and still be much more wearable with casual clothing. Imagine if grand seiko sbgw231 were a Patek.

I have a sector 5296g which is the one of the most casual non sports watch they have, but if Patek sports watches are going to be limited in order to balance the legacy, make the other offerings more wearable.
