Fantastic pick up

Looks amazing.
Did you get from dealer or secondary?
How difficult are these to get? I love it on leather.

I think this is probably the easiest Nautilus to get from an AD as it seems to be the least popular? The leather strap deters most I assume. I suspect you still need a purchase history with Patek though.

When you look at the secondary prices even (and of course this is relatively speaking) the value is very good compared to a 5711. You can get one on the secondary market for half the price of a 5711 and you get an Annual calendar and a moonphase thrown in (and the Rubber b option presents a sporty alternative to the bracelet for those who do not enjoy the leather).

Love the rubber strap as well. Great way to play that piece. Takes it down a notch from dress to casual but still retains the refinement!

You can call PP in NY and buy the Patek Rubber band which I think looks better than the Rubber B

Nice watch. Congratulations. I just bought my first Nautilus and it included a rubber Patek strap as well. Is it more comfortable than the leather strap?

Gorgeous! Am going to order the Patek OEM strap too.

As you say, the 'value' of the 5726A is insane compared to any full steel piece.

I love this watch!

I don't believe the "leather" oem strap is actually leather. It's composite material made to look like leather so it wears and feels more like the rubber b.
