Hands down the best 2nd (or more) Nautilus to own - The first Nautilus in my opinion should be one of the classics on bracelet (5711/5712/5980)

I first fell in love with this piece 7 years ago, back then it was always "nearly there" on pulling the trigger, but a deal never materialized. I think I came across 3 different unique chances to own this piece and yet for some reason never pulled the trigger.

Do I consider this my grail? It isn't a manual chrono (5070/5170) and neither is it one of the PPC (5270/5970) but for me this piece feels like a grail due to it's uniqueness in terms of a Nautilus on strap plus a symmetrical AC that tells the time to my liking (I find it difficult to live with a no-date watch)

Pictures do not do this reference justice as much as seeing it irl, I am very thrilled to finally own this meticulous piece. Especially since the bracelet variant will be discontinued starting this year.

Very nice. What strap have you got it on there?

soundserious · 18 February 2019, 05:41 AM

Nice one! Good find.

Congrats! I love this watch too!

Those are some stunning captures, argues your case compellingly.

Yes lighting makes a whole lot difference in showing the true beauty of the Nautilus! Get the wrong angle and the light would just bounce off the bezel, making them look rather cold and lifeless.

This is the Patek OEM Composite Leather strap. I'm thinking of switching it to the croc leather, will see in the next couple of weeks!

Absolutely stunning piece! Wear it in good health!

Pretty watch.

Can’t help but agree. I know it would not have been as thin but this would have been a great layout for the PC version of the Nautilus as well.
