I love the 5711. When I first saw the Nautilus via pictures (in 2D), with its strange shape and ears, I told myself "what an ugly piece, I will never buy a Patek sports watch."

Then I saw it in the flesh, and put it on my wrist. This was at Wempe in NYC and Wempe USA president Rudi Albers showed it to me - he had one on his wrist too.

He told me to feel free to come back several times over the next few weeks, assuming it had not been sold, to try the 5711 before I decided.

It was mine when I visited a second time, two days later. I still cherish wearing it at least once a week.

Congratulations!

Congratulations, like Victor the Nautilus range was not a hit with me.

But now attitude has completely changed.

Enjoy the pleasure of wearing it.
