Best answer yet, I have both, in a 4 watch rotation, with a 5167R and AP ce diver, for me no problem having both in a small 4, soon 5, watch collection, but I don't care about redundancy one bit, I get what I like most, and even if one of the 4 needed to go it would be the 5711, as I really love having the 3 others, but great to have both, do it if you can

I saw the 5712/1a in an advertisement when I was in St. Martin. I liked the pic so much that I decided to purchase my 1st PP. I have a few Rolex Daytonas & am on a list for a Daytona -C. I never knew about the 5711 until I checked out this forum. I've been looking at pics of both and I can't wait to get the 5712!

Tried both on, now own the 5712 (which I have no intention of selling). The dial is more alive with the complications, I think I'd get bored with the 5711.

I've always had very simple watches with few complications and have always been interested in something with more than just the time/date.
Moonphase and clear casebook have been my weaknesses, so 5712 for me. |

Not a seller ever, although I should thin the herd. Seen both, on the list for the 5712.

The 5712 for me, but it would be the 5711 if it could be had sans date.

5712 all the way. I started to look a the 5711 only from the moment on people would tell me it is such in demand. Haven't seen in wild life but I would believe I wouldn't like it like the 5712 dial (let alone the 240 movement)

5712 for me because of my fondness for complications - the dial is amazing. Yes saw the 5711 but in Gold which is amazing. Not sure if I liked it in Steel!

Which one will be relevant in 20 years. That's really the question here.
One of these is a direct to the original idea, that's the one I'd go for. Having said that, it's your wrist. Buy what you like for today, because who knows what tomorrow will bring.

I just love the simple and elegant aesthetics of the 5711.

Could you elaborate on your view with respect to your comment on the movement, please?

5711 is so much cleaner for me.
what irks me about blue dial is the date wheel being white... |

Relatively recently, AP have colour-matched their 15400ST date discs and dials. Whilst there is a more cohesive look, it is still the case that the date discs are not a perfect match, as similar to the PP 5711/1A-010 dial, AP's dials have a dynamic property that is not mirrored. Depending on how closely you look and your personal view, that may have its own annoyance, so to speak. |

I always say, buy what sings to you. It's irrelevant what others like. I prefer my 5712 and I could care less if 99% of the others like the 5711! Thats the beauty of having multiple models to chose from. Imagine if Patek only did a 5711, what fun would that be? Thankfully you have two great models to chose from, but nobody can make you select what you genuinely like more. Good luck with whatever it is you decide to go with.
