If money no object, then I would take the 5980R. It's a great piece.

i'm planning on getting an AP and PP sometime this year as i would like to add some rose gold watches in my collection, quite frankly i was thinking of getting either one due to my budget, however i really can't resist the beauty of both brands. and i thi...

Hi Thurgood, I commend your sense of taste in great watches! The watch designs you have picked are both wonderful examples of the genius that was the late Gerald Genta who designed the royal oak case as well as the Patek Nautilus porthole case. If I would... 

I'd take the chrono AP [nt]

I have never liked

the Nautilus. I know it's very important watch and there are so much Nautilus lovers but the design is not my cup of tea. I'd take 15202 instead of 15400 and 26320. In these alternatives, I never liked the 5712. 5711 is cool and iconic, 5980 is unique but... 

I actually like the off-set, unbalanced dial tremendously.

i'd go with 5712 and the 15400. i would like the contrast between the busy dial and the discrete one. the 5712 appeals to me far more than the chrono ap because it conveys information i'm more likely to use. i have some chronos, and i use them, but in a g... 

Do you want thick or thin?

The Audemars Piguet Chronograph is in the middle in terms of thickness, whereas the two Patek Philippes are on the thin side or the thick side. The 5712 is quite thin, whereas the 5980 is quite thick. Also, the 5712 is not waterproof (only water resistant...
