Blue > Green in my opinion. Blue goes with everything, green is just too casual. Although I wouldn't mind having one in green dial just for it's rarity since it's only going to be sold just this one year ;)

May I ask you where did you get the information that 5711 green was only going to be sold just this year. Nothing on Patek website indicating it would be sold only for 1 year.

How would you know?

TS said they will first release a farewell edition of the 5711, presumably this one, upon which they will release something new altogether, which this is clearly not.

5990/1r has immediately made my 5980/1r look flat and outdated.
The blue dial on the new watch is lovely. Great colour combo.
The 5980 is an absolute brick of a watch in rose gold and the 5990 will be even worse - may as well hang a gold ingot from my neck - so I won’t be making any calls.

As for the 5711 in green - YAWN.

Would love to have the 5990/1R if I have access to an AD ( I don't), so I will just cry in the corner while caressing my old 5711

I am sure it said originally on the Patek website that the green dial was for 2021 only but can’t see that wording on their anymore which is odd. It was early in the UK so might still have been half asleep but sure it was there. All get clarified soon I imagine

[Ubiquitous1984]

I hope it is limited to a year only. Personally I am disappointed with the releases, I was hoping to see something unique outside of the Nautilus range.

Yep, confirmed as a 1 year only production by none other than RPR. He might be wrong, but has proven to be pretty accurate year after year

It says on their press page next to the 5711 that "Following the announcement that 2021 will be the last production year of the stainless steel model Ref. 5711/1A".

I would assume that applies to this olive green 5711-1A as well?

Numbered the series? LMAO Ummm yeah sorry bro this isn’t an Omega LE speedmaster. But since you’re so sure it’s the replacement I guess you will have no trouble getting one then right? Will go great with all your GMT II’s

That green! Meh..Not a fan at all.

The green will be the same shade of green as the ladies recent release 7300. In metal it looks more dark green. That said, it will be near impossible to get the green 5711...

Indeed, and they have gone with trendy green and trendy RG as opposed to YG that some purists were calling for, trying to get that very last dollar.

It's olive green so won't be the vibrant Rolex Sub's green, which makes that dial still unique.

5990 just cemented the iconic status of the 5980 1r... In steel, the blue dial is king... In rose gold it's the black dial. Both have tremendous versatilty...

The 5990 to me has always been a fail. It looks like an aquanaut and a nautilus slept together. While that sounds great to some ppl to me it's a downgrade with those buttons on the left and the Patek Logo placed in the lower dial instead of at the top where it belongs. Despite its shortcomings as a watch, it still looks good with a blue dial in rose gold but I wouldn't buy it over a 5980 1r because the blue/rose just isn't nearly as versatile as the black/rose combo of the 5980 1r.

Yes thank God it isn't that loud crayola/sesame street green rolex hulk color. That would have been tacky af.

I'm with you, I like the functions of the 90 but not the dial layout and that trumps the nice blue dial, I actually still like the 5980R most of the series.

I’ve also never liked the 5990, for the same reasons as you but also to add that it’s a huge watch. This is exacerbated by gold versions that become very heavy and then need the bracelet to fit rather tightly otherwise the top-heavy end of the watch swings around too much on the wrist

That said, I disagree that the 5980/1r is versatile. It’s a very very showy, beautifully finished big horological block of gold. To me, that really precludes it’s usage MOST of the time. Depends on your individual lifestyle I suppose....

The 5711/1r is a much more balanced, elegant and graceful gold Nautilus which can slip under a shirt cuff easily.

i agree....the 5980 1R is too heavy to wear comfortably. but it is a nice watch ....:::)))

Agree re the 5990. I'd rather get a 5968/1A than any 5990. That said the 5990/1R looks better than the 1A.

I wonder when Patek will release the successor to this - it could even be this year? let’s see on the 12th.

on the discovery page for the new nautilus'.

This is next to the 5711 olive no diamonds

"Following the announcement that 2021 will be the last production year of the stainless steel model Ref. 5711/1A, this cult model is unveiled with an olive green dial – a hue that never existed before in the Nautilus collection. This new shade replaces the Ref. 5711/1A-010 with a blue-black gradated dial."

Yep this colour.

Did your AD tell you about your allocation of this green 5711? I think should more or less know by now.

Ditto to you both...

Since Nautilus is unobtanium, I’m quite keen to know what dress watches they’re going to release that we can actually buy...

[SpaceDweller77]

The green 5711 does nothing for me, seems to be a bit of a lazy effort to be honest. I feel quite fortunate to have gotten a blue 5711 in 2020 with the updated movement, I think it’s the true “farewell” 5711.

[enjoythemusic]

Looks like the watch industry is trying VERY hard to push green as the 'new blue' for fashion.
