Thanks again.
I'd say that's by far the one to have. The proper 2121-movement Royal Oak is still the best-looking of the bunch, regardless of whether the metal is steel, gold or platinum. In my experience, there's no other bracelet watch that can match its refinement on the wrist; it simply exudes quality without being excessively showy about it.

The 5711 is fine too, but I believe Patek Philippe in particular is experiencing a bit of a bubble at the moment — more so than its peers, though most of the industry's pricing seems vulnerable to a correction — due to their significantly-increased production combined with significantly-decreased design skill, so I wouldn't guarantee that a modern Nautilus would hold its long-term value better. Fortunately, they haven't messed with the 5711 too much, but to me, the original ultra-thin version of the Royal Oak is the stronger design and will always be the more desirable watch.

Of course, that's just my opinion; I could be wrong. :)
