As a recent owner of a 5711 blue which is my first Patek . I am completely sold on Patek Timepieces .

I have asked my AD to add my wish list for a 5711R / 5990 / 5164 they are all stunning pieces ,

assuming i have a choice and can only afford one this year which would you choose if you were in my shoes

T3F · 31 July 2019, 12:57 AM

5711R hands down out of those. I have a 5164 and like it, but it's overrated IMO, and the 5990 is cool but very chunky -- the svelteness of the 5711 with the weight of PM is unbeatable here.

raclaims · 31 July 2019, 12:58 AM

To me the 5711R is kinda boring
I love my 5990...some people think it's heavy I love it for it's weight and function
5164 was my fav travel/sports patek until I got the 5990 which I like a lot more

Agree, but not on the overrated part, love the 64.

Sam Philip · 31 July 2019, 01:37 AM

5990

GB-man · 31 July 2019, 01:40 AM

If we ignore the financial aspect the 5164 makes the best pairing hands down.

If we don't then hard to pass on a 5711/1R or 5990.

ap1 · 31 July 2019, 01:42 AM

You can’t go wrong with those if you have a nice wrist size for the 5990. If probably go 5711 here. Feels so good on wrist. I really enjoy my 5164 for its stealth properties, it’s just so stealth. Except for John Mayer circles

jrs146 · 31 July 2019, 02:00 AM

I would def get 5711r first! I’m waiting for one myself. Hopefully sometime in 2020.

5711r

5990

V25V · 31 July 2019, 04:24 AM

I like the 5711r a lot and want one. I have a 5164a. If I had to keep one however, it would likely be the 5164a, much more versatile for me and sporty.

Once he gets the 5711R, I'd trade the 11 for the 64.

I bet you would

GGatsby · 31 July 2019, 07:26 AM

5990 !!

CamSLC · 31 July 2019, 07:33 AM

I voted for the 5711r, then read your post haha. I think if you already have a 5711a, the 5164 would make a great combo.

This is a very smart man. I agree 1000%

Helmi · 31 July 2019, 10:25 AM

5990 as it aces the 5164 and you already own the 5711

Ichiran · 4 August 2019, 07:22 PM

Always a SS Nautilus. 5990 in this poll then, easy.

Kigan · 4 August 2019, 08:07 PM

5711r.

Xelorpepsi · 4 August 2019, 08:11 PM

5990 for its complications and presence on the wrist. 5711R is gorgeous, but there are so many more PP I would acquire before that (eg. 5712R with the leather strap).

le-temps · 4 August 2019, 09:02 PM

5990 for functional and complications...also SS

benlee · 4 August 2019, 09:31 PM

5711-1R. It's technically the same watch as your 5711 in SS but in RG, it's just looks so much more glamorous. However, it's a shouty watch so be sure it's ok with you.

The 5711R is the one. Stunning watch.

Bearxj86 · 4 August 2019, 10:40 PM

If you have the 5711a, I think the R (while beautiful) is a bit duplicative
