And thirdly and by no means the least, Ken you certainly have got a lot of patience, which is obviously a good thing. :) Like others have said, I too look forward to seeing the end result.

Topcat Tony, well it could be two different watches. You planted an idea so I will accumulate my funds for its twin to celebrate next year's 175th Anniversary.

You're welcome Subtona.
Did you notice the 5712 has yellow luminous hands while the 5726 has white luminous hands? I just discovered it recently.
The dial colors are clearly different. 5712 is bluish while the 5726 is charcoal grey.

Kuota, keen observation of the subtle color difference on the luminous hands. Thanks for sharing these pics of your twins. Is this 5712 blue dial a recent production? Which dial do you prefer more - blue or the charcoal grey?

Hughiee. I really can't decide which one I like better. That's a very tough question. It really depends on my mood. There are days I like the ultra thin, super light and the blue dial of the 5712 and I tell myself this is really my favorite Nautilus. Then the next day, i'll wear my 5726 and because it has more heft and very useful complication I tell myself oh this is now my favorite. It's crazy and sorry I couldn't answer your question

Not mine, took this pic at AD awhile ago. Looks so good, not to blingy, the best all gold watch i hv ever seen. Tastefully done, bravo Patek.

Love that Rolex Tripple date. Call me when you are ready to sell! :)

Also like the brown strap 5980r more than the all gold, but I am biased.

It is a crazy heavy watch! But it is by far my favorite "sports" watch I have ever owned. I have 7 3/4 wrist so that helps

Thk u Sir, i thought i share some ladies patek as we hv some ladies member at TRF . Who knows i can help inspire them more.

The 4968G speaks for itself. The attention to detail on this watch is incredible

The diamonds spiral down in a snake like crule from 12 and ends at 8.
273 on the case and 32 on the buckle.

Stunning shot of the 5980r!

I like the 5980/1r too but just couldn't wear the an all solid rose gold Patek. Don't you think it is opposite of what a Patek should be? Understated?

I think I can wear the 5980r leather strap variant.
