Thanks Mineral I haven't taken it off since I got it last Thursday. It feels amazing on the wrist. Very light in weight compared to my all gold Rolex pieces. I can't explain the wrist presence this piece has its very subtle tone to it if I can call rose gold subtle. The dial is perfect in the light. I'm very happy with the purchase.

Just got mine yesterday
I just received my 5711 yesterday and was put on the list when I purchased my new 5905P in December of last year. I was told that they had no idea when they would receive the watch and then was notified earlier this week that it had arrived. My AD was more excited than I was about the watch since it is becoming harder and harder to get since Patek cut production of it earlier in the year. My 5905P is my daily watch and my Yachtmaster II WG is the backup so I keep thinking I should sell the 5711 or hold it as everyone I have spoken to said it will just climb in value over time.
Sell or hold? |

If you can swing it, you should keep it and wear it. It will offer such a different experience on the wrist than the other two you have. The Nautilus bracelet is just perfect. If after you wear it you feel differently, then you can sell it. However, in my experience, selling a Patek (particularly a Nautilus) often leads to regret (I've bought and regrettably flipped both a 5712/1a and a 5711/1a --- I just yesterday got back the former, and am on a few lists for the latter.) Let us know what you decide.

Thanks for that. I usually do not sell any of my watches. I am already missing my platinum Day/Date, which is much easier to replace. What's weird about the 5711 is that it has grown on me since I first saw the watch. I bought the 5905P as an instant gratification (not to mention it's just a really nice watch). My new Daytona (Panda) arrives next week and those will be the only SS watches I own. Thanks for the recommendation to keep it!

I love mine. The blue is stunning and chameleon like. Very comfortable on the wrist and slips under a cuff easily.

The 5713 had the same dial as the standard blue 5711. |

I will probably hold onto all three for the time being after reading several cases of people who have regretted selling or trading theirs. Thanks for all the suggestions.

You will enjoy wearing the 5711. Don't sell it as you may pay more later to get it back.
