In this insightful piece, joenghenry shares his personal experience with the Patek Philippe Nautilus bracelet, declaring it the most comfortable he has ever worn. His detailed observations about its fit and finish offer valuable context for collectors considering this iconic reference. This article delves into why the Nautilus bracelet stands out, drawing on joenghenry's direct comparisons with other luxury timepieces.
In my experience the Nautilus bracelet is ok in terms of comfort - no reason to complain - but nothing special. I don't have a 5740 but the bracelet of my 5711 is clearly inferior, for example, to the pyramid bracelet of my IWC Mark XV.
WG bracelet ! Enjoy the heft and the beautiful blue dial !
I think 5711 and 5740’s case/ bracelet’s size and thickness should be very similar. Haven’t tried IWC’s bracelet before. But comparing with my vintage and modern Rolex, nautilus’s bracelet is much thinner and better polished with beveled edge on each and every link. Read an impressive article before (? In PP magazine) describing the complex steps in polishing the nautilus’s bracelet. Besides, the curvature of the integrated “lugs” fit the wrist perfectly. Enjoy yours 5711 often, it’s a gem! Best
I like its symmetrical dial and the grand date. The power reserve (?55 hrs) is nice. Thanks for sharing.
