5711/1a early model geneva seal more collectible?

[PPFTW]

Just curious, is 5711/1a-001 early model geneva seal (324 movement) more collectible? given the total numbers produced less than pp seal.

I don't think so and I largely agree with the opinions expressed in the thread below on a similar subject recently:

Last version of 5711 included hacking seconds.
I believe you’ll find more who would be interested in this detail rather than the seal.

Unless of course the quality of the Geneva seal movements were found to be better than pateks in house certified alternatives? Can’t say I have read anything that would indicate a rise quality control problems after patek switched.

Absolutely this, and newer dial.
