Been offered one and have heard great things about it. I like the aesthetics and hear it's surprisingly thin and wears amazingly well. Piece is not local so can't try it on prior. Would be the first PP of the collection. Appreciate the input.

thx

Aquaman · 24 July 2019, 03:49 PM

That would be a great way to start, congrats

but IMO I'm not a fan, the dial is too busy for me,

My friend has this watch, it’s a lovely watch but very small on anyone with 7”+ wrists. It would look very discreet with a suit. When I tried it on I was wearing t shirt & jeans and my wife said it looked ridiculous on me due to the small size. It wears nothing like a 15407.

Definitely on my list and wouldn’t think twice

Russell996 · 24 July 2019, 05:07 PM

It's a beauty.

WatchLurv · 24 July 2019, 05:16 PM

Tried it on, and it was instant love.

If you dont want it, let me know, I need it (like oxygen)

BaselWorld · 24 July 2019, 05:20 PM

I would definitely go for it, the blue dial is phenomenal.

Sam Philip · 24 July 2019, 06:44 PM

It is an amazing watch. The colour of the dial is same as 5711/1P. In terms of thickness it stands in between the 5711 and 5712 but have a significant wrist presence due to the weight of the watch.

tchaic · 24 July 2019, 07:45 PM

It could ruin your interest in any other watch (ok maybe still like Grand Comps).

How are you finding the 5711? It wears same as the 5740G

irish john · 24 July 2019, 08:03 PM

lack of a second hand counts it out , i like to see my watch alive

Fat_ninja · 24 July 2019, 08:11 PM

If someone offers it to you buy it. :)
That said. I prefer the 5712. But no one said you can’t have more than 1 nautilus

s.m.b. · 24 July 2019, 10:32 PM

This is definitely an if offered must buy watch for me.

JohnTz · 24 July 2019, 10:37 PM

I can only wish I got the offer for this. One of the best watches ever made. Buy it.

Definitely one of the three best Nautilus watches ever made... 3700, 5711, and 5740.

bob101 · 24 July 2019, 10:52 PM

Retail prices? If I could get this at retail I'd buy it for sure, fantastic piece. As it is not paying 1.6m HKD plus for it would prefer a 5270p.

+1. the omission of a second hand is not to my liking. that said, i'd buy it of course if offered.

Gravity · 25 July 2019, 02:08 AM

Appreciate all the input. Will of course update.

GB-man · 25 July 2019, 02:18 AM

I love it. It appeals to my cardinal rule of having an aesthetically pleasing dial layout.

mps354 · 25 July 2019, 11:57 AM

Count me as a fan

tie219 · 25 July 2019, 12:15 PM

Doesn't look too small to me, I'd buy it if offered

Hamish · 25 July 2019, 07:46 PM

The best Patek that I own
I do not think that the dial is the same colour as the 5711p but I will check

Hamish · 25 July 2019, 07:49 PM

I just took this

It is the same.

Hamish · 25 July 2019, 10:00 PM

The white gold seems so much more comfortable on the wrist

It's the same size as a 5711/5712, almost to the tenth. So those are too small too on anyone with a 7"+ wrist? Look, we get it. Anything smaller than a 44mm ROO is too small for us. Cool.

I'll take it off your hands at msrp.

Oh wait, I have a 7" wrist, guess it will look "ridiculous" on me as well.

Ended up trying one on and decided against it. It was nice but just didn't love it and for me that's a requirement, especially at this price range. The search continues.
