I’ll eat my words, the 5711R is just drop dead gorgeous
Ask me what Nautilus would be on my wish list, I I would reply without hesitation a nautilus reference 5726.
Why? You may ask, for that it’s an easy answer I much prefer the complication of an annual calendar then the simple 5711.
When it comes to the simple time only watch for me there is only one that I would ever want, the original reference 3700.
This was the original and for me the one that can never be surpassed in its aesthetics, the quality of its movement, the construction of the case.
The reference 5726 Nautilus with its water resistance of 120m As well as full calendar and Moon-phase, and gorgeous blue dial it’s just something exceptional, within the Nautilus range.
However, one of my collector friends has just recently bought a rose gold Nautilus reference 5711, and I have to confess this has completely shook me. The rose gold version is completely different to the steel. The brown dial lens itself beautifully to the rose gold case and bracelet. Put it quite simply, the rose gold is in my very humble opinion completely on a different level to the stainless steel version, even with the blue dial. It’s not with words that I can explain the lure and the lustre of the 5711R. So I will let a few pictures do the talking for me. Not since the original reference 3700, have I actually been taken this aback by a simple time only Nautilus. Finally I will give you a confession, I was offered a 5711 blue dial back in the day by the salon in London at retail of £11,000, and I turned it down, because genuinely it was not the watch for me. If I wore gold watches and this was offered to me I would bite their hand off for it.

In agreement Imran...even within the broad and hugely successful (and stunning!) Nautilus offering of the last 45 years, the 5711R never fails to surprise every time you see it on somebody's wrist! ;-)
I guess it's the perfect brown dial/R case combo, or maybe just its simplicity combined with such a strong presence...but you can never go wrong with it! Thanks for a nice photoreport.
Lovely watch but I agree the 3700 is the one to get
Or 3800 if size is not an issue J
Lol 😂, no chance this is VIP- besides I prefer the 5726
But as time only, after 3700 this one is the best in my eyes
Not anymore lol 😂 the Aquanaut and Nautilus are now super VIP, just like Royal Oak, FPJourne tantalum etc
This is now super league gear I am just about still able to get Rolex, after waiting of course
Great presence
I am not a huge fan of gold in sports watches, but that is a personal preference and I guess this is no longer used mainly as a sports watch, but more a daily use watch. I does not cease to amaze me how JLC adds value, and in my opinion rightly so, to the...
