but the PP 5711 is also great, no doubt, I have considered adding one to my collection but with waiting lists or grey market prices where they are don't think that is going to happen... |

Hope you are keeping track Of the numbers either way
I had a 5711. But opted for the 15202 in preference Think 15202 is best initially, then maybe following up with a white 5711 or a complication. 5990 being the Mack Daddy |

Had the 15202, gave it to my dad when I got my 5711. Prefer the 15202, especially the bracelet and the way it reflects light. Can't go wrong with either. I would feel silly asking him for it back.

The only stainless steel patek with a bracelet I'd get is the twin time nautilus. If it's 5711 vs 15202, the 15202 all day long.

I used my 5711 in the water often, jacuzzi included. The 5711 is truly a daily wear and for nearly all occasions if one chooses. Quote:
15202 has a 50 meter WR (not 30m), the AP is still rather limited in water but there is a notable difference between the two ratings.

The 15202 would be an easy choice if only they would scrub the "automatic" from the dial.
I know, I'm too picky. |

so i've spent the better part of the last few weeks trying to source a 5711 at retail. one of the more frustrating experiences one could endure. enough to make me think the 15202 may be the better way to go...we'll see.

the 15202 isn't easy to find either although easier to find than the 5711. Good luck though

The 15400 'Automatic' placement bothers me much more. (Though, I'm waiting for a Tiffany 5167 with a stamp in the same location, so what do I know!) |

Both are great watches but I ordered the 5711. Personally I don't mind the wait, if I could have it tomorrow it wouldn't feel at all special and if I saw lots of other people with it I'd quickly get bored and move on. I think Patek are right to restrict the supply. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The wild card in this whole debate of course is getting the AP 15202 with a custom rotor with your initials on it.
Not sure if you can do that with PP, but i have never seen it if you can. For a piece i would never sell i would go with the 15202 if the decision was a toss up between the two based on that being the tiebreaker. |

I ordered it in April, the Patek dealer is connected to the AD that I usually buy from and he knows the watches I've bought - taking my history/loyalty into account he stated that I wouldn't have a crazy wait, I didn't push and he volunteered around 18 months....we'll see.

For the 15202, it's been "put a deposit down and you'll have it in 3-6 months". My sample size is 2 PP dealers, 1 AP AD, and 1 AP boutique somits somewhat limited sample. |

sorry to hijack but if anyone is in the market for a white 5711, PM Me. I have a lead on one in stock at an AD.
I'd take it myself but I'd have to travel to get it and I don't want to pay state taxes either |

When I made this comparison I went with the 5711
