One guy said I am lucky to own a rare 2018 transitional model with the latest dial but still the 324 movement. Doesn't matter as Patek buyers don't seem to care about such details. Lots of changes in 15 years - 315, 324, 330 movements, Geneva vs Patek seal, screws vs pins, various dials including the LED dial...
In the end any 5711 is trading at crazy prices as we speak just like the CB.

ts3 is 100% spot on with these observations. Only with Rolex is every nuanced design change in a model valued differently. With all other brands unless there is a major change, like a brass vs. gold movement, older models are worth less simply because they are older and likely to have more wear and be closer to needing a servicing. Owners of early 5711s have argued for the 315 movement and Geneva Seal making their versions special only to be met with yawns as newly minted blue dial 5711s command a premium.
