No Date Patek 5711 ...interested?
I love the clean 5711 dial but I believe that it would be even more beautiful and balanced without the date window.
My understanding is that Patek no longer produces bespoke versions but perhaps if enough were interested... The question is would you be? |

Prefer the date myself

I'd vastly prefer it without the window and that white date wheel. It makes sense with the white-dialled version (which I'm not too fond of), but not with the gorgeous blue dial, IMO.

No date would be historically incorrect. Has there every been a Nautilus without a date?

Absolutely.
Perhaps a nice manual movement as well.

I'd prefer one without the date, but not enough to get rid of my current 5711. Now if they came out with a manual wind version as Gus suggested, I'd be all over it

I'm a fan of the way it is. No manual movement for me. To me it represents the perfect daily watch - clean classic understated.
Prefer the date window and automatic for daily use. They could throw a micro rotor in like on the 5712 for good measure :)

A manual winding stainless steel modern sport watch. Brilliant.

Simply adding a border to the date window (like the /011 and 5711R) would make a big difference to me.

I love the look of no-date watches. Less time of "screwing" the crown to change dates. Less chance of screwing the watch.
