Well here it is, the news we’ve all been waiting for, major update to blue dial 5711/1A, now matches the white version.

alexlt730512 · 17 March 2018, 04:30 AM

the current one is the first photo right? has this info been confirmed?

AK797 · 17 March 2018, 04:32 AM

And will presumably have the date surround as well if so.

yessir69 · 17 March 2018, 04:56 AM

Wait, what?

Correct and yes. White dial has always matched the lower image as have many PM versions.

BillA · 17 March 2018, 05:50 AM

What is the difference in the 2 dial pictures?

Really?

Area around Patek Philippe Geneve wording and it’s position

CamSLC · 17 March 2018, 05:59 AM

That's pretty cool, I have looked at mine side by side and not noticed that in the past.

Guess i'll need another one.

Are they going to keep the reference as 5711/1a-010?

GB-man · 17 March 2018, 06:04 AM

That’s unbelievable!

Oryx · 17 March 2018, 06:50 AM

yes this was confirmed to UK AD's yesterday.

the dial will be slightly tweaked so that there is a dedicated blank plate for the two lines of text "Patek Philippe Geneve"

This plate is already on the 5771r

i think either of the options look good

Jinson · 17 March 2018, 07:27 AM

It's Pa'tweak to me.

sensui · 17 March 2018, 07:35 AM

How common of a practice is this for Patek in the past? Question for the long time collectors/experts. Very interesting tweak.

ap1 · 17 March 2018, 07:37 AM

I’d say noise

SDDS · 17 March 2018, 07:39 AM

Its already on the 5711 white dial

Mr.X · 17 March 2018, 07:54 AM

Please let this crater demand for the old version as peeps unload it to get their hands on the new one.

Thanks Russell. Great to know the slight tweak to the dial. What’s the major update your talking about?

mps354 · 17 March 2018, 08:43 AM

I don’t care much about the Patek writing change, but the border around the date would be nice

kingofthehill · 17 March 2018, 09:37 AM

Is there any specific reason that the white dial variant was different in the first place?

It came out later than the blue dial, as did the 5711/1R and 2 gen 5711P, so this is the new style, cleaner dial text and a date surround.

codecow · 17 March 2018, 09:48 AM

Next level.

incontrol · 17 March 2018, 10:12 AM

Wow! I feel good about the $5k price increase now. Damn!

Interesting. Will they upgrade the clasp finally? The clasp on the ladies nautilus is sooooo much better.

I’m pumped for basel!
