A probably better comparison is the 15400 in gold vs the 44 RG since they are similar in price.
15400OR
What's the retail price for this one? Thought it's a lot more than 34K...

AD's will sell for around 32-34k depending how long they have held onto it. This is for the non chrono. chrono can be had for low 40s.

I was debating getting one of these but I think now I'm going with the all gold patek nautilus. But non chrono.

If this one, I can highly recommend it!

Yes that one. How does the finish compare to the all gold royal oaks? I haven't seen an all gold nautilus in person but the way AP reflects the light off their bracelets, I don't know if any company can match that, and really that is the main reason I love their bracelets.

I was wondering if Patek could, since they also have brushed and polished surfaces. But I don't know if that watch pops the way AP does in the light.

I would probably say the AP bracelet shimmers more over its brushed parts but the Nautilus has more polished areas so overall it sparkles more. Both are beautifully made and finely finished, just a question of the look you prefer, I like the Nautilus and the ROO combo best, and in RG ofc.

Well I can't get both any time soon haha. Maybe in 2-3 years I can get one or the other. But I'm leaning towards the nautilus based on looks in pictures and because I already have an AP. But that is why I probably then need to see the RG nautilus in person.

15400. Tough to beat that bracelet in gold. Plus, I'm not a fan of any watch with that suffers from 4:30 date window syndrome.

Bracelet 100% for whatever you decide...

If looking RG...Blue dial in any config is special.
