5712>15202>5711>15400

The 5990 beats them all though


Love the RO bracelet, but the Nautilus one is more comfortable.
The AP wins for the best clasp... i still cant figure out how to get my Nautilus off without yanking on it.

I’ll take the 5711 over the 15202. I’m not much of a fan of the 15400. It’s beautiful but just too big.

When I take off my 5980 I feel like its gonna fly off my wrist and out the window.

I looked at both when trying to decide what to buy. For me it was not even close.

Patek 5711

Having had the opportunity to experience both in the flesh this is a tough call.

The 15202 has some great attributes that are really second to none.

The wrist factor / presence comes in to play though for the 5711. The 5711 in my
opinion is an end game. It could be the 'just one' watch. It's both elegant and sporty.
Could quite possibly be one of the rarest and scarcest on the planet. You see 15202's 15300's 15400's - you don't see 5711's that often depending on your circle. Of course being a WIS and going to different watch events I am privy to seeing these more than the average enthusiast.


5711 gets my vote :)

RO in 39mm is my personal sweet spot.

Neither. My fave is a Y series all black Rolex GMT.

Hmmmm.... While I respect RM I wouldn't put them in this category. Classic and timeless style would eliminate an RM from this battle. Also, not sure I could or would ever want an RM as my one and only.
