Difficult to say....

....because I prefer the heavy metal versions. If I had to choose, first I would go for the blue dial, because it is near to the origin, the 3700... Second choice is even more difficult. I tend to the silver-white dial, in reality it shows an amazing change between clear white, light grey and shining silver. Just depends on the surrounding, sunshine, cloudy sky, inside light.... My 5712 has very poor wristtime... It took lots of time to get convinced by the asymmetrical dial... The hidden queen in my eyes is the 5711R, I think it's the most beautiful Nautilus in the 5711/5712 comparison. ...and sorry for slightly off topic..

A lot has been written individually about the iconic 5711 1/A and the not quite so iconic 5712 1/A, but I thought it might make for an interesting discussion to compare the 2.

I will be happy to start. The 5711 seems to be a significantly more desired reference. While I can understand the reasons why: historical lineage dating back to 3700; elegant, sporty simplicity; and pure aesthetic preference for the uncluttered dial compa...  

Love my 5712A

One of the few asymmetrical dial that works; although beautiful the 5711A has IMO a large dial that feels empty. As watches grew in size over the years, dials feel empty to me. Same with the Calatrava 5227, same with the AP RO hence I feel inclined to get...  

Can’t really compare the 3 as each has its own merits...

Tiffany loves you 😁 Great collection of co-brand PP, I’m glad I made it to waiting list for the blue 5711, after knowing they have closed the order. Rgds Raymond

I would say that I like the 5711 most of the three. Reason being that it is closest to the 3700 and also I like the simplicity of the dial. I would also add that the Tiffany would be a major positive for me on that watch. Having said that, sometimes one m... 

Go for the original!

3712 second series 4 red dots ...  

Why not to go for the originals?

3700-001 & 3712-001. Best, Kari ...  

Why not, is right! All a matter of taste and cost factor. 3700 vs 5711 is like Rolex 6263 Daytona vs Rolex 116500 ceramic bezel.

Vintage vs. modern. Each has its own merits. Eg - Some might prefer screw down crown and sweep seconds of 5711.

Nautilus choice

Having both, if I had to keep only one .... surely 5711! The king of elegance.

Hi Patekova, What a collection of the Nautilus co-branded dial !

This is a grail set of Tiffany Nautiluses ! Personally my first preference the blue 5711 most because of the dial color, simplicity of the dial, and lineage. It is very difficult for me to pick my second choice because I have never seen the white dial. Ch...
