I have a GMT II and my Sub for day to day wear. The Nautilus will be for special occasions.

It's a 5711/1A, so it's auto. There isn't a quartz Nautilus that I know of.

Very nice pair!!

But not being watch savvy, I immediately recognized the Rolex. I understand how good the Patek is, but from a layman point of view, the Patek isn't recognizable. Of course, I am sure you don't care what people think or who recognizes the watch. Just an observation.

I love that about the Nautilus. Very low key, but most Pateks are that way.

Great photographs of two classic timepieces.

What is the depth rating of the Nautilus?

It's rated to 120M, from what I've read.
