I personally am on the 64 side but wd love to understand your views !

Rolexavidfan · 24 June 2018, 11:10 PM

11 because it’s iconic.
64 because it’s a travel time useful for me.
You get the best of both worlds in my opinion.

Torn between the 12 and 90 personally. Love the blue and sleek profile of the 12 which allows it to perform casual and dress duties very well. I love the functionality and sportiness of the 90.

tyler1980 · 24 June 2018, 11:14 PM

5164 is a better travel watch and a better daily watch and i wear it the most... but for me the 5990 is my favorite watch.

goog53 · 24 June 2018, 11:27 PM

For Me I dont beat any watches up that are over 30K so IMO one needs to be careful with all of these options. I also have no use for a GMT function as I only travel for vacation. The 11 or 12 on bracelet are my choices but cant go wrong with any of them. Some people love the versatility of the tropical strap so they opt for the Aqua and others I am close with feel the 11 and 12 are too thin so went with the 90. In summation...they are all badass and hope you can get your hands on one of them from an AD

Beauty (12) and The Beast (90)... With different dial colors, case sizes, and complications these two can certainly coexist. Due to my wrist size I prefer the 12.

Vipes · 24 June 2018, 11:40 PM

I bought the 5711 about 5 years ago before the hype. It is still my favorite and I’m fortunate to have the 5712 and 5164 also. For me 5711>5712>5164.

90 > 64 > 11 > 12

switch up the 11 and 12 and that is probably where im at if i absolutely had to pick. But i might have a different answer tomorrow as its that close.

mps354 · 25 June 2018, 01:54 AM

5711 for me...simple, classic, and a beautiful blue dial

11>90>12>26>80>68>64
(My personal preference)

jrs146 · 25 June 2018, 03:12 AM

Assuming I wanted to own them all they would be purchased in this order.

12, 90, 11, 64

If I had to pick only one it would be the 12

12 > 11 > 90 > 64.

All absolutely great, though.

AK797 · 25 June 2018, 04:53 AM

64 just beats the 12, in SS.

lapince · 25 June 2018, 06:05 AM

The 12 no doubt, why? Because it is my favorite watch for under 50k, love that watch

RussW · 25 June 2018, 07:06 AM

No bad choice, and to some extent it depends on if you want a particular complication. I would go 5990 > 5711 > 5164 > 5712

It also looks like we have no agreement in this thread on the ranking, which proves they are all great choices

MCMartiny · 25 June 2018, 07:33 AM

Best combo for me is 64 and 12. They are quite different including the base moment and complement each other very well in daily use. Also both are slightly more complicated than just time-and-date which I like.

Sam Philip · 25 June 2018, 09:52 AM

90>12>11 - according to wrist time

soundserious · 25 June 2018, 10:08 AM

Gosh these watches are all stunners. Get the one you can most easily afford in best possible condition.

TimeOnHand · 30 June 2018, 10:00 AM

My 64 get the most wrist time followed by my 26! All great watches and choices!

Strangely enough... my 11 gets the least wrist time and I don't miss wearing it... I only like knowing that I own one!

Dompropat · 30 June 2018, 10:07 AM

Love the 64 the most out of these, but really no bad option.

theflywrist · 30 June 2018, 02:46 PM

11 all day everyday for me. Cant beat a timeless design.

subtona · 30 June 2018, 03:05 PM

11. No substitute

GentleMonster · 30 June 2018, 03:50 PM

11 simple uncluttered look

5712

goog53 · 1 July 2018, 02:18 AM

As all have said there is no wrong answer BUT if someone wants a unique and original design I think the 12 is the clear winner. Many could argue the 3700 coming after the AP 5402 was an afterthought by Genta. People who are pro 3700 and now 5711 can say it is an improvement upon his first try at a high end SS piece he did for AP. The 3712 and now 5712 is a cluttered and asymmetrical piece that just works beautifully for some reason and still maintains the thinness which IMO is a staple for a Nautilus. In addition Patek is known for their complications so the 5712 checks a ton of boxes in offering a MP, PR Indicator, Sub seconds dial, and 240mvt with micro rotor. In summation, If I could only own ONE Patek I think 5712 covers so much ground being sporty, complicated, thin, and dressy (if needed). If I own multiple Pateks (non Nautilus) that offer complications then the 5711 gets the nod. Sorry for the long winded post. I am just typing my personal thoughts. LOL!
