It's a coin toss for me.
Really unable to decide between the two...Both modern classics for sure.
Thanks DMS!
My wife had it made for me, knowing how much I like the 5711. I hope to wear it one day to a gathering of Purists,,,
Perfect
wish i could get one from the AD though... been waiting for years on waiting list..
getting mine was "relatively" fast. You might want to go through one of the Salons... [nt]

5711 for me
I Could never really make friends with the dial of 5712. I wish they had used the 240 in the 5711 though.
Why? Both 324 and 240 movements are used as the basis for Perpetual Calendars.
324 movement beats at 4hz as opposed to 3hz of 240.
240 is used in a number of two handed watches!
3700 is a two handed. The 920 JLC was an ultra thin movement with an interesting rotor. The PP 240 is ultra thin with a special rotor. It is Patek's reply to a thin automatic and hence more coherent with the original and with the concept of the watch.
I feel the 324 is a very efficient, well constructed and probably cost effective movement. But it is perhaps also a bit more generic in its design.

Let me be clear. I absolutely love my 5711 and am very pleased with the performance of my 324. Let's just say 240 is a very special movement that suits a very special watch.
indeed that would be a winning combination. Unfortunately, you'll loose the center-second with the 240. [nt]

I could handle that...
My ultimate Nautilus would be steel, with a 240, no seconds hand and no date... I've gone back and forth between 5711 and 5712 and while they're both wonderful ultimately I think I prefer the uncluttered dial of the 5711. I just want to take it to the next level!

A real winner. I would rather have seen that for the 40th anniversary than the overpriced P with diamond indexes on the dial. [nt]

Thanks!
Actually I don't mind the diamond indexes, could live with them. It's the rest of the 40th Anniversary watch that leaves me yawning a bit...
Anyway, Patek, why not give us an everyday purists' version?!?

+1 for the 5711
Its all about harmony, balance, ying & yang, symmetry for me... but that is just me.
Others find and define beauty differently, and that makes humanity beautiful!

5711
I am biased as I have drop the 5712 when the chance was presented. I still like the calmness on the 5711 dial.
5712 for me
5712 is a very odd ball watch..
Sports watch with a classical Mp complication and classical analog date.. and asymmetric subdial arrangement..
So quirky but somehow it all comes together really well..
And if u look at it from 7oclock, it's actually symmetrical eg the pic below.. 
I like the new brown dial 5711..
For me 5712 is the true "Nautilus"
Why? Because it is precisely the watch that I can imagine the eccentric Captain Nemo of the eponymous submarine wearing.

i love the 5712.The moon phase does for me.Having said that my dream Nautilus would be a 5726 full steel with a blue face then its game over.

Both! It's weird that this messy dial can be so balanced
It's a special watch, that's for sure. The only thing that's maybe a small con is that it doesn't has a 120m water rating. Nitpicking though.
