That’s a very good sign, but has the watch got wet. You need steel AND water to get rust.
I would wet the watch with tap water, don’t dry it just leave it on the side to dry overnight, then see if the rust returns, you may need a loupe to see anything after just 1 day. I would repeat that for a few days. The 5711 has a 120m WR and should be able to handle it without rusting.
