They are equally stunning imo and are equally strong in terms of value retention. It really depends on your size. If you are a bigger guy definitely 5980/1R. Other wise 5711/1R is probably the more comfortable watch to wear in the long term.

5980 for other people. I think it’s too much for me to comfortably wear, so I’d go 5711r

I’d go for the big delicious pot of chocolate fondue.

5711R for the win. I have no use for a chronograph. I love the way the 5711R feels on the wrist.

I really like both of 5711/1r and 5980/1r and planning to buy both.
Which one is harder to get? (Considering waitlist, premium, etc) I want to purchase the harder one first out of these two models. Also, what is the current market price of these? Thanks for the help! |

Easy. 5980R is the one that you want to keep. It’s a 5711R taken to the next level.

11'...
I also prefer the simplicity. My AD showed me a 5980r a few weeks ago and it just didn't click. |

Both heavy hitters, no wrong answers....but a Patek chronograph is always special.

5980/1R. Fits much better on my wrist. I love the 5711 but its a too thin for a guy coming form AP's

I've ordered/am waiting for a 5980 1/R but I think the 5711R is actually a much more elegant and beautiful watch.
You know I can't quite explain why I've ordered the bigger, brasher version. It doesn't make sense and I actually passed on a 5711R last year too. I mean I know that the watch I WILL buy isn't as nice as the one I passed on. What the hell? The 5980R is perhaps a little over the top but maybe that's why I thought, "hell with it, go big or go home." Get the 5711R. |
