Side by side an unfair comparison as they play two different roles.

How ever my heart goes to the 5740 you can’t do much better for an all around sport dress watch that will never go out of fashion.

IMO, although they have the Genta DNA, they are very different and I prefer the ...

5740 because it is a very slim PC that packs a full punch in terms of functionality !!

Thanks Gordon, I agree! [nt]

Both are highly desirable, but my vote goes to the perpetual.

Among other things, I like the 40 mm size better for Nautiluses and Aquanauts vs 42 mm.

I know which Aquanaut you are referring to ;-)

Thanks Fab!

Both beauties

But for my wrist the perpetual works better.. perfect proportions!

Patek 5740,,,,without doubts!

This Aquanaut is too big

Other than that I understand the allure of a PC, but for me it is always more trouble than it's worth, esp. if you wear multiple watches

Trouble as in ? [nt]

for the perpetual. The watch on the left is really too big to me.

I Really like

the Aquanaut. Always have.

5740/1G

 
 By: DOCSF : December 18th, 2019-11:19
5168G-001 is not bad either. It is still hard to obtain this watch from an AD. I know an owner of an AD is struggling to get this watch for him self.

You know me! I think they are both SO So SO

overrrated... my friends... sooooooo overrrated...they are just ok... IMO... but I understand the excitement... enjoy.

I do not have 5940 but 5970G and 5168G

As those are on my list 5168 always impresses me with its simplicity and deep little shiny blue. I love 5970 too but simply 5168 gives more impact on my list. Complications has little tendency to lose impact looks while wearing .

I think adding the 5168G will compliment your 5740G.

And they can be worn for different occasions. Both have very nice blue dials. One with bracelet one with rubber strap. One with complication yet so wearable while one with a simple yet elegant dial.

I have a 5167 already 🤗 [nt]

PC for the symmetry...

 
 By: mdg : December 19th, 2019-20:42
...the date window on the other is not very elegant...kind of an afterthought.

Is this a serious question? [nt]

There's no contest here really, the 5740 is way superior

 
 By: 1WatchMan : December 19th, 2019-22:39
But it doesn't mean the Aquanaut is not handsome 😛

Thank you, I agree [nt]
