Thanks for the video! Love the new 5811/1G and the ladies 7118/1300R. That 7118 is breathtaking!

A video of some of the other releases…

The 5373 and 5811 are fire. But is the 5373 a VTNR ? Lol

I expected more aquanat references… The 7968 rainbow… is just…. No Patek… this ain’t your thing

That’s perhaps the pick of a stellar bunch imo. I love the carbon detail on the dial.

The 5204G is incredible, but out of my price range sadly.

Trying not to think about the new nautiluses too much lol. Do I need a 5811? No. Does that stop me wanting to try and get one? Probably not.

Agreed the 5935 looks stunning.

Wow at the 5712r. Gorgeous. My goodness.

[Ichiran]

Visually the 5811/1G looks exactly like the 5711/1A except for the date aperture and the 1mm difference in case diameter. From a distance of 5m, no one can really tell the difference.

I do expect to see a 5811/1R soon and the platinum version in 2026 (Nautilus 50th anniversary).

And how long more the 5712/1A is going to continue in the catalogue?

I think the shade of blue will be slightly different. The 5811 dial resembles the 40th anniversary more. I don’t think it’s that mind blowing a release for the nautilus line-up overall but on its own, without the immense anticipation prior to its release, it’s still a ULTRA STUNNING watch that is fitting as a successor to the 5711.

Have to compare side by side to see if there is any difference in the blue colour. I like it of course since it looks like the 5711. My wife loves the 7118/1300R though and I think that is a stunning watch. The salmon 5935A is special too.

I think the best release is the 5204G. Just the right colour of green for both the dial and the strap. The Rainbow Aquanaut is also stunning and I would not be surprised if men request one for themselves rather than for their partner.

I would say the only one that is slightly disappointing is the LHD 5373P...
Patek should not have done that after Rolex released the LHD VTNR. If it was a proper RHD Split second, QP, it will be so good but now there's a little bad taste in the mouth that Patek is a follower, not a leader...

Patek have LHD chronos in the museum, who is following who?

Let me get this straight: You think that Patek didn’t already have this watch design well underway by the time the VTNR hit? This is a piece that undoubtedly took a hell of a lot longer than six months to engineer and produce.

Me after seeing the 7118/1300R - that's nice, I will get that for my wife
Me after seeing the price - hmm, maybe I will get the new iphone 14 max pro instead

Going back to dial side movement insertion makes me want it now

Edited.
Yes I want one badly too

After a second look the case curves of the 5811 appear a bit more pronounced in relation to the bracelet. Looks to me like it changes the proportions a bit. Looking forward to side to side comparison.

Not mind blowing but the update of the clasp is a significant update for many who were not fans of the friction type clasp of the 5711. The adjustment is also an unexpected bonus

This is mind blowing! Biggest nod to the orignal they could have made. Kudos to Patek!!!

In fact the adjustment introduced in ladies diamond Nautilus in 2019 was planned to be included in other references as they got released and for the 5811, it got +1mm in width but it's a litte less than a mm thinner, hence the proportions have changed (slimmer). I find it even more elegant that way.

Wow, love the colour combination on the 5373P… but why does it have to be left handed?

5204G also a stunner. Too bad I can’t afford any of them

[Oryx]

Does anyone have any gauge on the rarity / production numbers for the gemset aquanaut?

[Ashj52]

I don't own a Patek yet, but their new releases look wonderful to me. Look forward to hopefully becoming an owner one day, the 5712 in rose gold is breathtaking!
