I really was taken by it when I was able to try a friend’s piece earlier this year. The size is great, the movement and finishing are excellent, a remontoire is not a complication I currently have in my collection and I like the family story of why they chose to make that watch. I also am an admirer of Kari’s work, but his pieces are beyond my means, so this piece offers me an opportunity to have a bit of both.
I have a large percentage of my collection in sport watches, and I like the idea of adding some diversity. The run up in the Nautilus makes it tempting to add that diversity with no additional financial outlay.
However, I do love my Nautilus even though the 5726 is probably the least popular Nautilus model. It was my first Patek, and I bought it before the craze we see today when I could have bought any of the Nautilus models - which I like the idea of because my choice was pure and not influenced by any hype we may see in the market today.
