If you plan on wearing the watch frequently, I would go for the 5740.
You mentioned the lack of a seconds hand, but remember the 3700 didn’t have one either.
One thing I love about the 5712 is it also lacks a seconds hand and it makes the watch more legible at a glance.
I would guess you’d get the same effect from a 5740.
The micro adjustable bracelets are big improvements on both.
Both 5811 and 5740 will be pricey and in the long run, the more complicated the watch is the better it’ll keep its value in my opinion.
Personally I’m not a fan of Patek making these watches in white gold instead of steel.
To me it moves away from the original design but I get why the do it: higher msrp and easier to finish gold than steel.
