Sell 15202ST for 5726?
I got my new 15202ST about 2 months ago. I love the watch. Perfect dimensions, fit, and design. Only con is that I feel it’s a bit plain. I like complications and I’ve been eyeing a Patek 5726. Would have to add some cash, but that’s okay. Thoughts? Anyone owned or had both?
Thanks! |

I would not consider for a 5726. Yes to 5712 however.

Not for 5726, maybe if its 5712.
I would probably keep 15202 and save for another watch. |

I had the chance to get a 5726 at retail 5 months ago, but turned it down. I just wasn't ready back then to spend that kind of money on a piece that wasn't my grail, but I really liked the watch. In fact, at the time, it was the Nautilus I loved the most. I still like the complication and dial a lot.
I think if you like it more aesthetically than your 15202, this is a good time to flip the Jumbo -- you will make a good bit and be able to fund the 5726. Personally, I prefer it on a black strap, but I know I'm in the minority on that. If you told me you could flip it for a 5712 at retail, I would say do it for sure. |

I have the 5726A on black strap and i love it. Sure a lot of folks like the 5711 and 5712 but for the price you can't go wrong with the 5726 complication.

The 5726 on a black strap is one of my favorite watches. I would do it.

I do not own any of these two watches, but I would go ahead to sell the 15202 for the 5726. The 5726 is one of my favorite Nautilus.

I’m a big fan of the 5726. It’s a gorgeous piece. I’d make the trade (and then pick up a 15400!)

Love both but if I had the possibility to get the 5726 at retail I would go for it.

Not fair to compare these two... one is very simple the other an AC!
Each to his own mate... your Jumbo is a simple watch but the beauty lies in its simple elegance! For me I would get the 5726 in White Dial!

I own 5726 gray on bracelet and acquired AP’s, Langes along the way. Till this day is still my favorite and there is no comparison vs 15202. The aesthetics, technicality, finishing is on a different level.

these pieces are so fundamentally different.
if u can swing it, i'd try to get the 5726 whilst still having the jumbo. wear both in rotation for a few months and judge for yourself if they have significant and different usage....i'm willing to bet they will. |

If you're into complications, do it.
I had a 15202 and it's amazing, it made way for a 5711, but I still wish I had it. As you say, the proportions are perfect, it feels better made than the Nautilus and I found it more comfortable.

I was playing with the idea of selling the Jumbo because it seemed like an easy way to fund the 5726. But I really do love the Jumbo and realized I’d would regret selling it (it gets most of the wrist time). So... I’ll be keeping the Jumbo and add a white dial 5726 soon or something similar. I like the 5726 dial better than the 5712. The latter looks way to busy and cluttered for my taste. Thank you all for the feedback.

I saw the 5726 at the AD once in Bahamas, nice watch but it didn't strike a chord with me, maybe it was the sterile silvery dial or plain looking moonphase. I mention this because you showed concern that your Jumbo was a little "plain". If I wanted to go the annual calendar route for Patek I prefer a 5396R-14, same moon disc but looks much more elegant and contrasts nicer with the gold colors against the blue sunburst dial. I really dig the baguette diamond version as well.

Keep the 15202. I find the date apertures on the 5726 too small to be really of any use.
