I like the asymmetry, but then again I also own a Lange 1.

I prefer 5711

Daytonaman799 · 15 March 2014, 09:28 PM

5712 all the way. I have one and it's fantastic. It's thin and light but the complications are a lot of fun. A great package, the 5711 is a little too sedate. Would rather go for a 3700 in that case. If you are going for a 'clean' look I would rather lose the second hand. That's something that has always bothered me about the 5711. The RO jumbo doesn't have one and it gives a much cleaner look just like the original nautilus. Also, the '12 is not unbalanced it's actually a great asymmetrical design that is rare and unique. It just adds something to the whole picture. Good luck.

sulttaani · 17 March 2014, 10:35 PM

5712 no doubt

DECR · 24 May 2014, 12:44 AM

Wow! Great pics. Love the 5712 seven o'clock "symmetry". I knew something was right about the dial just could not figure it out.

Aaaaand.....My AD just got a 5712. Decisions, decisions.

incontrol · 24 May 2014, 01:14 AM

My AD also has the 5712 in stock. I thought about buying it because I love the blue dial. But then I would have two!

x2! I don't like the layout of the dial on the 5712....5711 is just timeless!

AK797 · 24 May 2014, 02:19 AM

A Patek with a complication does seem rather appealing so 5712 for me.

Agreed

5711.

Mike, for the very same reasons, I would also go with the 5711.

But is that not down to our OCD

myopiccoog · 25 May 2014, 09:50 PM

I like the 5711s Realestate to get enough light to let that blue dial pop

AK797 · 25 May 2014, 09:58 PM

So is the blue dial exactly the same colour on both 5712 and 5711?

gtbguy · 26 May 2014, 01:15 AM

5711; plain, simple, and clean look.

incontrol · 26 May 2014, 01:39 AM

Still love the design of the 5712. The blue dial and complications make it a winner to me. There are plenty of three hand watches to pick from. There is really only one 5712. The blue dial is fantastic!

SearChart · 26 May 2014, 01:58 AM

The 5711 and the 5726 are the only Nautilus models that I like, and preferably both on a strap.

Impressive trio! You're forgetting the moonphase cutout.

I'd go 5712 easy.

conkers · 2 June 2014, 01:21 AM

Surprises me that noone has yet suggested waiting on the 5990 instead of any of the 5711/5712/5726 models.........

I was able to get a 5712 and another 5711 3 1/2 years ago when ADs needed cash $$.

While the 5711 photos well and looks good in both my versions, the 5712 dial is Magical. I have not worn any other in almost 3 years. I had to pull them out after finding this forum on a lark the other day.

I had the same belief that the 5712 was unbalanced, asymmetrical, yada,yada.

but on the wrist, the magic takes over! And unlike any other Nautilus dial there are no cut outs!

I had the 5980 for a few days before I sent it back, while nice it was to bulky for me, and I'm not a chronograph guy. %726 doesn't appeal to me.

Its been awhile since I've taken watch pics, I'll do better next time :)

Beautiful trio, I often think I prefer the 5711R of all 3 but I am just not sure of that brown/grey dial...

yjfang · 3 July 2014, 09:37 AM

I vowed never to buy a Patek because my ignorance thought they were too "nerdy" and are very pricey, so I spent most of my time on the AP forum. There are many AP owners that also own PP so naturally curiosity brought me to the Patek forum more and more. I was originally thinking about adding a Rose Gold AP RC but I ended up falling in love with the 5712/1A for many of the previously stated reasons: Its Patek! Iconic design by GG. Sick blue dial. Awesome complication. Asymmetrical sub dials unique. Awesome bracelet. Thin and easy to slip under shirt cuff. Superb movement with micro-rotor that you don't see everyday.

Well known seller has one now so we came to a deal quickly. Just a few more days and she will be on my wrist.

Can't wait!

Congrats.

By the way, this thread is very old. I already bought the 5711 a year ago...However, it' still as good looking as the first day I got it!

5712 for me.

Plastique999 · 5 July 2014, 05:00 AM

5712 has been on my short list. But the 5726 also looks sublime with useful functions. However, I like the fact that the 5712 has no cut outs

shnxx · 5 July 2014, 06:32 AM

How much more do the 5726 go for vs 5712?
5711 seems to go for 25000 or so?

hns_555 · 7 July 2014, 04:51 PM

I own a 5712GR, a 5711/1A (white) and a 15202 Jumbo Navy. Of the 3, the 5712GR is the most special to wear with its perfectly balanced two tone WG/RG case, unique asymmetrical layout, and dynamic slate dial. The Jumbo Navy comes in a close second. The 5711/1A just lacks the "magic" of the other 2 pieces, IMHO.
