think the 5711 would get my vote.

diver2012 · 9 November 2013, 08:05 PM

No doubt about it - I would get the AP.

I think the 5711 is boring - whereas you would never get tired of looking at the skeleton!

15305. I could never get tired of staring at that dial.

Love the 5711, but if only one of the two, I'm taking the AP in this case.

Sam Philip · 9 November 2013, 10:34 PM

5711 all the way

Puffy · 9 November 2013, 10:58 PM

5711

can't even tell the time on the AP

Ranfni · 9 November 2013, 11:26 PM

You're in an AP forums....hellloooooo?

Demonoid · 9 November 2013, 11:35 PM

5711.

kilyung · 9 November 2013, 11:56 PM

I'd go 5711. Now if you're talking anniversary worked RO with date...

AK797 · 10 November 2013, 12:05 AM

Very tough choice, there are other APs I prefer so I would take the Patek as its probably my fav model.

B. Doggy · 10 November 2013, 01:34 AM

Melikes the 5711

s14roller · 10 November 2013, 02:45 AM

I really wanted to like the 5711, but end of the day it was just to plain for me. I'd go AP.

A tougher decision would be a 5726 vs 15305

Have to agree, its 1 of a few requirements for a watch.

AP jumbo 15202, would be my choice.

mart66 · 10 November 2013, 03:55 AM

Either would be a good choice but I'd vote for the AP because of the dial

Soly20 · 10 November 2013, 04:21 AM

PP for sure on this one.

MisterStefan · 10 November 2013, 06:46 AM

I'd take the Skeleton, but both are very nice. Alot of votes for the PP, and I can see why.

singe89 · 10 November 2013, 08:56 AM

RO 15305 much more interesting watch in my opinion.

Hairdude1 · 10 November 2013, 09:16 AM

5711 gets my vote

This.

drhr · 10 November 2013, 10:11 AM

Skeleton is boring, 5711 all day every day . . .

PatekCollector · 10 November 2013, 02:49 PM

This is VERY TOUGH decision. Both are GREAT.

After long & hard thinking with a lot of tears, I'd choose 5711/1A.

redsubby · 10 November 2013, 04:19 PM

I'd take the AP...
Handled the 5711 today and compared it to my 15400, the RO felt like a more solid, better made watch. The 5711 also wears small.

There are subjective opinions...then there is being just 'wrong'...

Boring?

jw0n · 10 November 2013, 09:22 PM

I think it is all a personal preference, and I'd go for the 5711.

RO skeleton for sure. I own one and it gets more attention and awe from other people than any of my other pieces. It blows the 5711 away in terms of aesthetics as far as I am concerned. Look at it on popular Instagram accounts; it gets crazy likes compared to pieces many multiples of its price. IMO the 5711 is a dime a dozen and plain looking in comparison to the RO skeleton; the 5711 is a nice watch and a great movement, but it has a simple aesthetic. I guess if you want to go unnoticed and fly under the radar then the 5711 is the way to go, because people will notice and comment on the RO skeleton...
