Hi everyone, I found an interesting discrepancy in how "Patek Philippe" and "Geneve" are displayed on the blue dial of a 5711/1a. Please see the links below:

1) https://www.patek.com/en/collection/...#&gid=1&pid=11

2) https://www.patek.com/en/collection/...0#&gid=1&pid=8

If the links do not work correctly, see below:

1)

2)

Both images are found in the image reel for the Nautilus but I noticed the first has the brand and Geneve written on their own raised platform atop the gutter portions whereas the second image shows the letters are on the raised portions of the gutter and in line with the dial. I have noticed the new 50th Anniversary in platinum does what #1 shows. I was wondering if one of the knowledgeable forum members here can shed light on the dial variation and when this change in dial configuration came out. I have only seen one blue 5711 in the flesh, and I believe it was like the second picture. Thanks!

The first picture is the new style that is being rolled out this year. The website is a bit of a hot mess right now in terms of mixing both variants in their product shots.

New one on my wrist. I have not seen another one here yet but I am sure we will soon enough.

Is the clasp also different on the newer models or just the dial? My 5711 clasp always annoyed me compared to like a Royal Oak.

The clasp is the same and as awful as ever.

It’s all good, such a killer watch you can let a few things slide :)

Interesting, I thought they updated it (more like the Aqua)?!

Kind of prefer the old school style with printing on the lines... very minor detail but we are WIS, isn't it all about the details :)

ttmedical · 28 May 2018, 02:35 PM

I agree with Subtona. No idea why, I just seem to like that design a little more. But if any of you fine folks want to offer me the new style, I promise I won't complain haha!

I guess that is part of being a WIS, it is all about the details :)
