Need to move a watch

Have a 5170R and a 5711R. Need to move a watch.

Thoughts?

Which one do you love? Which one would you wear more. For me I’d move the 5170R. I like the 11R more than the 5170R.

Both are stunning, but i would keep the 5711r, as it comes on bracelet and all those colour fluctuations of the dial are terrific.

I don't wear the 5711R that offen as it's a pretty dressy wTch but I do like owning it.

The 5170R is a newer watch that I haven't worn much at all. I've had the watch before and it hasn't stuck.

I did just get a 5905P which obviously is a Chrono which is a reason to get rid of the 5170r.

Driving myself nuts.

Agree, the bracelet is really elegant and silky on this one.

5711r is a keeper! If finances are involved it might be a different answer.

Sounds like keeping the 11R is the choice!

I find the 5170P to be more understated and thus my choice...

I would definitely keep the 5711R. If both were bought close to list you will make money on the Naut and unfortunately lose quite a bit on the 5170 as those do not trade well.

If you don’t want to wear a watch that is dressy, you may need to start over?

Two stunning references. If your 5170R is the black dial model, I would love to have one. If Patek Philippe had priced it correctly (50K-ish), I might well have bought one.

Depends on how fast you need the cash. One of these will sell itself, the other one you may have to wait awhile.

If you have the 5905P already, sell the 5170R.
