I have the 5726 too, and material-wise, a white gold and a steel watch doesn't give me much difference except for weight and being more scratch prone for the 5811. IMO, 5811 is a down grade from a 5726. You are getting a plain jane watch that just happens to be in white gold, versus the annual calendar, a classic Patek complication, in the most iconic patek watch, in steel. History will tell you that Stainless steel watches for patek >> gold ones, simply because they are rarer and more daily friendly
however, I feel the 5811 to be too empty of a dial. The watch is slightly bigger than the 5711, which makes the middle space extra open. 5740 is an all-time great but it lacks a seconds hand.
If I were to pick out of those 2, 5740>>> 5811.
