If money wasn’t a problem and you had the opportunity to choose between the 5726/1A-014(blue dial 2019) and the 5712/1A-001 what would you choose?
Considering that the difference in price doesn’t matter and that it would take as much time to receive one or the other, also, no resell.

5712. I like the thinner nautilus models more.

MCMartiny · 13 May 2019, 07:46 AM

5712 for me. Original (thinner) Nautilus proportions. Fantastic 240 "micro rotor" movement. Such a lovely asymmetric dial that is more art than science.

What are the advantages of the micro rotor, if any, functionally?

I've read that micro rotor movements can, in some instances, be less accurate.

I'm guessing this isn't the case with the 5712a

I own and love the 5726A, but b/w the two models you proposed, the 5712a all day.

ts3 · 13 May 2019, 08:08 AM

5712 (or 5711)

tonupbklyn · 13 May 2019, 08:26 AM

ok, I'll decent on this one.
I'd take the 26 in blue cuz the date functions are much easier to read, the dial is symmetrical without being boring, and the center seconds takes it over the top.

also, i think having the 5711 in the drawer already makes it too close to the 12, given similar thickness.
so having the 26, for me, would be greater diversity.

The technical advantage of a micro rotor movement is that it can normally be made thinner than a typical full rotor movement. I.e. with the 240 base movement Patek is able to fit both a power reserve and a moon phase complication in the 5712 case which is (almost) as thin as the 5711 case.

From a non-technical point of view the micro rotor stands out as a more unique movement compared to all the full rotor movements out there. It has been the work horse behind many historically significant Pateks (e.g. world timers and perpetual calendars) and thus have a lot of Patek DNA.

AFAIK both the 324 and 240 based Pateks leave the manufacture with the Patek seal -3 to +2 sec. accuracy...so no difference in accuracy.

the 5726 for me for it's symmetry

I'd probably take the 12 but as I have the 11R maybe the 26 would offer more differentiation, would have to see it first.

okie4455 · 13 May 2019, 09:43 AM

5712 but I'm biased as its my first Patek. everyday wearing it is as great as the first time I put it on.

turborolex · 13 May 2019, 09:44 AM

5712 is what I would have gone for if I only could get one or have one. It’s just aesthetically pleasing in many ways.

Now I have the 12 and 26, I wear the 26 more as it’s much more practical with the date functions and feels just right on the wrist as far as weight.

So 12 if it’s going to be my one and only for sure.

Are u sure you are not wearing the 26 more because it’s newer? :)

turborolex · 13 May 2019, 09:56 AM

I actually have a white 5726 that I wear as a daily. The one I just got was the grey dial.

I forgot about the older one. Lol

Ichiran · 13 May 2019, 10:35 AM

If money is not an issue, I will get both. They are very different watches with very different complications.

wisguy · 13 May 2019, 10:40 AM

12

Roccio · 13 May 2019, 11:06 AM

From experience 5712a is a delicate watch with a water resistance of 60m vs the 5726's 120m.

I really like the thinness and the added aesthetics of the caliber 240 from 5712 while I equally drool over the seconds hands and the symmetry of the 5726. You can't go wrong with either but the choice would largely depend on your lifestyle. Do you want to wear it with a dress suit or a diving suit? Planning to wear it to the pool or baby it in your winder?

ezinhk · 13 May 2019, 02:49 PM

Matter of personal taste...911 turbo or gt3 rs - both are amazing.

Rsdecker971 · 13 May 2019, 03:03 PM

With that face, it has to be 12.

wulin · 13 May 2019, 03:06 PM

It's very close. I could roll a dice and happily take either one.

bluebeamer · 13 May 2019, 03:20 PM

somehow the 5712 dial asymmetry has never appealed to me..
