First Patek and what to get
Hello All,
Pretty new to the forum and looking to add a PP to my current collection below (I couldn't get the AP to fit in the attachment size...) Other than these I also have a Lange 1 time zone in service right now. I'll also be getting an 1815 AC as well as I absolutely just love Lange I'm thinking of trading both the AP and the Skydweller (which I only got less than a month ago) as they all seem a bit too large on my small wrist. As for the PP, I'm debating which of the Nautilus line to get, 5711 while I know is absolutely brilliant, but just seems a bit too plain for me. My father has a 5712 so I don't think I'll get the same one. Currently it's between the 5726 and the 5990 both on bracelets. Appreciate you guys' opinions and please help me choose either one and which color dial. Cheers! |

Very nice collection, I'd go for the 5990. Also switch the 1815 to the chrono.

If you find the AP and SD too large for you, maybe the slimmer 5726 is more suitable for you?
Nice collection btw! |

Is 5990 smaller than the two that are too large

for sure. I own a 15400 and the 5990 is more compact. Its a little thicker but takes up less wrist real estate. Same for the sky dweller. Dont own that one though.
For comparison... its the smallest looking of these three and even smaller than the 5164. It has more wrist presence than the 64 because of the bracelet and the thickness but i would think it wears pretty easy on a small wrist (mine isnt though)

I'd get the 5726. You will have a daily use for the AC complication, as opposed to the chrono, while still enjoying a cleaner and more balanced and legible dial.

Its a really great watch. For me its the perfect combination of everything in a watch and its well laid out in a practical way.

I second that salute to the Breguet. I really love that model. Also, my vote would be to add the Annual Calendar. It's a little slimmer and perhaps more useful function. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Thankd guys for your responses. Looks like an pretty even split on the two models. Any other models you guys suggest? I've also been looking at 5205 as well.

You look like a traveller so 5164, but think you want a Nautilus. Not a fan of the 5205 in WG only RG, and like the 5396 with Breguets for an AC.
