If you are looking to go grey market for your one and done Nautilus, which reference

[gqmagic]

[QUOTE=Parapraxis;12622408]Hey guys,



I don't think I'll play the Patek game. I think one Patek in the collection is enough for me, and I think it will be a nautilus.

So I'll have to go secondary market.

In this case, which reference would you recommend?"

Since you don't really know what you want but think it's a must have, when you get your money right just get whatever one is the most popular on Instagram that week.

This is a Unicorn, since it never really existed. I'm changing my vote to a DoDo Bird, once existed but now extinct: 3711.

5740 - grail Nautilus - perhaps best blue dial.

Forget Nautilus, Patek… this is one of my favourite references by any manufacturer full stop! The assymetric layout, blue dial, power reserve, slim profile, gold micro rotor all wrapped up in that case is just wow.

3710: super-rare bird that you will never see anywhere on anyone. Extremely thin, too

5712ST, No Question. Best Nautilus Ever Made.

Why do people specify blue dial when they mention 5980 steel?

because there's a white and dark grey dial also?

[FrançoisCzapek]

Yes, why the strong preference for blue over dark grey/black and over white?

blue dials are just more popular and liked for all these sport watches, just the way it is

Got it, is it right that the black and more so the white are rarer for specific models? (But people don't consider this and it doesn't reflect in demand and price?)
