My thoughts...
1. These are just rumors and speculations and nothing official, so I'm not holding my breath just yet. 2. I don't like the feel of titanium on a watch. It feels too light, plasticy and cheap. But I'm also one of those individuals that associate weight with quality. 3. Platinum would be incredibly awesome, but I worry that it will have eye watering price. Last platinum 5711 Nautilus was their 40th anniversary, which imho was absolutely stunning, but also six figure price ($113k). But it's Patek and they aren't afraid to release expensive watches to keep the brand name (latest release was $1M+). At this point, I suppose we wait and see. I just hope it will be something awesome and reasonably priced. I also hope that the 5711 doesn't suffer the same fate as the steel 5980 (arguably the most beautiful steel Nautilus released to date) that got discontinued and never replaced. I actually hope they still have another steel 5711 replacement - improved, but not discontinued. |

What sort of money do we think they would price these pieces at if we take into account the 40th anniversary 1P which was produced in quite a large number (700) which is probably 1.3% of actual watches produced currently
When you take into consideration the Nautilus Ref. 5711/1P 40th Anniversary is getting traded at anything between 260/300k GBP and I think retail was about 85k (excuse me if I am wrong) This would lead me to say The platinum version would be about 100k GBP at retail The titanium I wouldn't know where to guess other than its a very hard material even tho it costs less that gold it probably takes more time because of the material so possibly 50k The only thing I would have done is switch the dial colours, titanium the greyish colour and platinum the blue imo |

The pictures, absolutely. But, just because someone faked the photos, doesn't prove the rumor untrue...
Like Rolex, Patek seems highly unlikely to allow the leak of such photos. However, someone with inside knowledge, eager to spill the beans, could easily have doctored these together as an "unauthorized preview" of sorts, no? The obviously phony photos would seem to hurt the rumor's credibility, though. |

Also - The first photo is absolutely NOT titanium. Whomever doctored that one did a pretty crap job. The color is off, and the contrast in color between the brushed and polished portions would be far greater.

That makes sense, good call! Another good thing, as mentioned by another TRF'er, is there's no stubborn sticking date so that reduces service calls. Another benefit, no non-matching date dial background to main dial like we see on a plethora of typical entry-level PPs. This new model could mark a move forward for PP.

Why is everyone all jazzed about a non date 5711 thats bigger? If that isn't hype taking over, I do not know what is. If the told and true argument that staying true with the original design is for real purists and collectors, how is this an improvement AT ALL?

The original Nautilus (3700/001A) was 42mm...

The 3700 and 5711 are the same 40mm size from 4 to 10. Only difference is the size of the wings. They way you put it suggests that upsizing the 5711 would be a step back towards the original 3700. This is not the case as they have been the same size all along except for the wings.

Tantalum is very hard to work with , that’s one of the things Journe says about the CB. The temperatures to work are extreme , that’s why is so resistant to corrosion. Plus Nautilus is more on shine side and Tantalum is kind of opaque. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good point. Am truly grateful we have masterful manufacturers like FP Journe, they'll go the extra mile to achieve something truly unique with extremely high-quality finishing and true design innovation. Them, MB&F, and others are in a far higher league. FP Journe should be something every ultra-fine timepiece enthusiast should have. Plan on getting one

(Like everything in life it comes down to the bottom line, and “basic” metals are far cheaper to machine, finish) Probably worth noting, a tantalum case is hardly ground breaking.... Panerai had the 172 & 192 out about 6 years before Journe, and decades before that AP made Tantalum / 18k watches |

Ahhh yes! So the next PP could be Tantalum. Exciting times.

Howver with modern manufacuring techniques, the only real reasoning most people chose not to use it down to material costs & machining costs vs a traditional material which a manafacture already has tooling setup for and a simpler work flow. Machining/tooling can be very expensive on complex cases, so reducing this cost is the first place the bean counters will look to make cuts, and maximize profits. Obviously it’s alot less romantic.... but reality usually is. I definatelty agree looks wise it would look awful on Nautilus, which needs a “bright” metal, even with the high polish/brushed contrast posible on the case/bracelet it wouldn’t look right |
