I would be getting the 5711r from an AD at MSRP, ~51k US. Not really interested in a 5711a in blue since I have the 12, but I’ve considered it in white. Wildcard piece I am also considering is an ALS up/down in RG. Priced similar to YM than 5711r. Just not sure if too dressy. It’s color scheme is a bit quirky lending it perhaps to more casual attire I think. But it’s no 57xx.

Fair enough. And I'm personally with you; were I offered a 5711 I'd prefer the white dial, too.

Another option to consider, and again a bit of a wildcard: a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms in rose gold on a strap. Closer to Patek level in terms of fit and finish, but barely more than the Rolex in terms of price.
