Thanks dear, it is already booked for my son. Also, it is an investment, not only fashion

However, I found most of the dealers' salesmen not very knowledgeable and give biased advice. Specifically patek guys I don't trust what they say at all. On patek website there is only 2 options for stainless steel 5711, the white and the blue and obviously yours is the blue. Here are some photos to help you with the color

Hi Helmi, I agree with you regarding the salesmen knowledge. I dont see them expert. They are able to make you buy the items through nice speech. But in Lagoona Mr. George is the only one has experince and he said Patek produces some times the Grey which doesn't exist in the website !!! He said I am lucky for having the grey which is harder to find than the blue dial. But the users with great thanks in the forum are lowering my depression by the photos and conviencing me it is not grey

Agreed. They never made this watch with a grey dial. The blue is more of a slate blue and not a bright blue as is on the platinum edition.

Sometimes grey, sometime blue, always an excellent watch! 20171023_225003-COLLAGE.jpg

So here is a thread I created a few months ago.
https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=505965

My Local AD in Qatar didnt know much about it, nor did the AD in Bahrain, however my friend's AD in Australia confirmed to him that the dial is a different shade now.

I distinctively remember hunting my next target much before I acquired my 5711.
This was much early on in my collecting, and I made sure to try all the options before hunting for the 5711.
Initially it was the 5167, then it was the AP 15202, then in was the white 5711 which I was set on, however wanted to wait till I got to try a blue 5711 in the flesh before pursuing.
It was nothing other than the design, and specifically that extremely deep blue dial that had me restless till I could get one of my own.

I am 100% certain that the new ones are not the same shade, and more of a greyish blue.
Still a beauty, but it wasn't what I had fallen in love with.
If you saw my thread, I must admit that in the flesh it is honestly more obvious than in the pictures, but the dials are nothing alike.
I ended up keeping my old one.

Even the hands and indices look to be different, no? Larger vs slimmer in width?

I know Karl has the P but I asked about the G 5796.

I haven't seen anyone post an incoming of one of those. Obviously either would be grail material for me but really like the 5796/1G bc of its stealthiness. The 5711 dial is my least favorite of the Nautilus line yet I have the 1R lol. Still great but just like complications more.

Yes. The indices and lume are completely different too.

On May 2017, I bought from UK after waiting, Patek Philippe 5711/1A-010. The dial supposed to be blue. But what I received is Grey !!! The shop staff said the Grey discontinued by 2010 !

Please open the attachment and explain to me am I wrong, or the manufacturer gave me wrong dial

Mine is blue with Geneva seal. Both dials are winner :)

I did noticed that there also two different versions of the blue 5711 dial.
One has thicker "lines" and has the Patek Philippe text a little bit lower then the one with the thinner lines.

This dial has the thicker lines and lower text (which i like more, but you don't see them often)

This is rather interesting; I wonder if you could perhaps film both side by side?

[Russell996]

I believe you can always tell the dial from the papers.

Original blue/grey dial 5711/1A 001 (001 is dial designation)
White dial 5711/1A 011
Current blue/grey dial 5711/1A 010

Same is true for other models:
Original year 1 5131R 001 (city ring varies with each dial version)
Year 2 5131R 010
Year 3 5131R 011

5711/1P 010 - no diamonds, none 40th edition
5711/1P 001 - 40th edition

Perhaps I am mistaken, but I believe the assertion is a variation in the recent production of the 5711/1A-010 such that the dial is more akin to the 5711/1A-001 - perhaps advantageously so.

This was for a very short period of time, I noticed this on a 5711r on strap I was looking to buy and did some research and interestingly the fakers chose this version to copy on all 5711s so it was easy to tell them apart from the front.

[martinr]

If you go by pictures only you'll never know, every picture is different, lighting, angle, white balance, film vs digital etc. They're all the same except the platinum version.

Congrats! Its the blue dial, You'll notice color changes with the interplay of the dial and light
