Why this one
The case for this one.
- The reference that turned Gerald Genta's 1976 design into the most requested watch in the world
- Gradient blue dial with the horizontal embossing collectors look for first
- Retired by Patek in 2021, which is why demand for this exact configuration keeps climbing
The 5711 arrived in 1976 as Gerald Genta's steel sports watch built to outlast trends, and by the time Patek retired the reference in 2021 it had become the single most searched watch in the world. This example carries the blue gradient dial that defined the model's final decade, set inside the same porthole case and integrated bracelet every rival sports watch still gets measured against. It comes with its full set and a movement that has been checked and timed before reaching the display case.
