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.

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

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.

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

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?

[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!

[courboy]

Not that these are attainable at retail for most of us, but it's great to see some micro adjustment on the bracelet. Here's hoping AP follow course soon...

[jay_kay]

5712 in Rose Gold is amazing!!!!!!

Yes! I’m aware that they have one in the museum, a LHD split second chronograph if I’m not mistaken. But so as Rolex with all the LHD examples that were made as a one offs/limited quantities.

The point here is that LHD watches wouldn’t be such a craze right now if it wasn’t for Rolex introducing the VTNR this year. The most recent LHD that I can remember in recent years before the VTNR is the Tudor Pelagor LHD and that didn’t drive Patek to release this LHD almost immediately.

So why now? It’s a great watch, don’t get me wrong. But Rolex set the trend for LHD watches. If only Patek had released this LAST YEAR, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

I don't see an issue with Patek releasing a LHD watch shortly after Rolex. Rolex are a reputable brand who also make some amazing watches. Many Patek collectors will also own Rolex (myself included, for disclosure). Patek watches are meant to stay with you for a lifetime, so it matters little when they are released, and only that they live up to the expectations of their owners.

Now, as a righty these LHD watches just look *wrong* to me. But I'm happy for the lefties who will hopefully get to make use from the new functionality!

[Armis]

So there is no steel follow up Nautilus to the 5711 that is expected, maybe a future release?

[macrowatch]

Dial on world time chrono looking good!

Yes. 5935 looks great and affordable for me, others are just out of my budget.

[Champagnepapi]

Does someone know if this was the whole announcement? Or are we expecting more drops in the upcoming days?

You really think Patek have released the LHD because Rolex released a LHD piece?

In the words of JM - 'you cannot be serious'.

[macrowatch]

Where is the Champagnepapi (TM) summary of the releases like on the AP sub forum? Hehehe.
