My local AD dealer has 5164 and 5627 in strap available
This is going to be my first Patek purchase. I love both of them. This is really a hard decision for me... i need a little help from Patek community to help me decide
5164 is more casual and 5627 is more dressy ....which watch would you pick as your first Patek?? Or should i put myself on wait list for 5167 or 5711??

Thanks in advance

I chose 5726 for my first. I really like both. Can’t go wrong with either.

5164a first, 5712/1a second

Both are great. I would say it depends on how you dress and functionality of daily wear. I love the 5726 (the annual calendar is a nice and useful complication) and had that exact watch but I sold it and am looking for the bracelet option.
I wash my hands at work quite often and the bracelet is more practical. I bought a Rubber B for the watch you are looking at, and that worked but it's a pain to change back to the leather if you want to dress it up. Honestly, if the bracelet swap would have been simple I would have kept it.

The 5164 is great also and can be worn daily - great if you travel or want to keep track of another time zone. If not, consider a 5167.

5726.....

kilyung · 4 February 2018, 06:42 AM

5164a for me

GB-man · 4 February 2018, 06:52 AM

six four!

Karbo · 4 February 2018, 07:11 AM

64

mps354 · 4 February 2018, 07:21 AM

As others have said, either way you are going to get a great watch. I prefer the 5164

tng11 · 4 February 2018, 08:36 AM

Sixty four. That 26 belongs on a bracelet.

That's how I see it too.

If a strap it has to be a gold Nautilus.

baileybonds · 4 February 2018, 05:51 PM

I've owned both and I would opt for the 5726. The 64 is more useful for traveling for sure. But I personally hated the clasp on the 64 -- it flung open more than once on really hot days, which I find unacceptable. Move the 26 to the "rubber" strap it comes with and you should be happy

tyler1980 · 4 February 2018, 05:53 PM

64 no question. Then add a nautilus on a bracelet later. 5726 or 5712 as suggested by Stephen above

Personally the 5711 in SS or a 5167 are no where near the top of my list to acquire so i wouldn't even worry about adding yourself to those lists.

lapince · 5 February 2018, 12:09 AM

I would get a 5726 but on bracelet, had it on strap and it didn’t really do it for me, very nice but something missing

Andrés G · 5 February 2018, 12:18 AM

I prefer the 5164.

elcompa · 5 February 2018, 01:06 AM

Strong preference for the 5164....

Jareddad · 5 February 2018, 01:41 AM

64!

red1108nyc · 5 February 2018, 02:07 AM

The thickness of both 5164 and 5726 is awesome to me. Love complications and I would lean towards 5726 but on bracelet. Good luck with your decision

kneedeep · 5 February 2018, 02:10 AM

64a first.

onmyhand · 5 February 2018, 02:13 AM

I will pick the 5164 as I think the 5726 goes better with bracelet. After that, enjoy your hunt for the Nautilus range.

Marcus SE · 5 February 2018, 05:38 AM

5164a first, 5711/1A second.

I own both. Purchased 5711 first and a month after went for a 5164 (found a good deal). These watches complement each other well. Though I have to admit that 5164 gets more wrist time. Maybe since I am more concern to scratch 5711.

Oryx · 5 February 2018, 05:40 AM

Has to be the 5164.

The 5726 is probably the last Nautilus that I would want to own - albeit I did say that about the 5712 and then ended up picking one up last year....

Defiancekofb · 5 February 2018, 05:59 AM

5726 but I would put a rubber strap on that, since it is a sports model watch.

philster · 8 February 2018, 03:29 PM

I started with the 5164 and then moved to the 5726. Main reason, was I had a few other daily wearers and wanted something a bit more dressy. Both a great options!

tinygears · 12 February 2018, 02:14 PM

You’ll never regret a 5726.

Completely agree. A nautilus needs to be on a bracelet, that's why i waited on the 5990 instead of settling for the leather 5726 couple years ago

sgwatch · 13 February 2018, 03:22 PM

I'd say 5164a. 5726 is nicer on a bracelet (to me).
