Just a lovely watch...
...and I am not even a big fan of the other Nautili...this one is a keeper : )
I’ll take it in a 3940..
Nice watch but personally prefer this movement where it should be, in a 3940 😅
Few funny observations; people used to say to me, I don’t like 3940 as no seconds hand.. no one complains when it’s in a Nautilus case 
it’s kind of funny as when I bought the white annual calendar Nautilus 5726/1A everyone told me annual calendar has no place in a sports watch and it was sitting in the window with no takers.. Changed days and changing tastes I guess haha.

I previously also preferred PC with a second hand (eg 5159 retrograde), but as my age and experience in watch collection grow, start to appreciate the charm of ultra thin and traditional PC of 3940/ 5140.
Guess second hand is not that essential when the watch is designed to keep track of time in a four years cycle

Love these closeups! ;-) Spectacular Nautilus reference, and pictures that fully do it justice ;-) Enjoy.
Thank you, Prof. Just a casual closeup with cellphone.
Nothing comparable to those professional macro 😅
Wonderful image of this very special watch. I love the vibrant blue hue on 5740, even more than 5726 which I own.
Thank you, Patekova. The blue dial of 5726 is similar to 5711 and 5712, classical bluish grey with gradient. While 5740 is a bit similar to 5711P, a brighter and homogenous sunburst blue without gradient.
Hard to say which one is more preferable... best to have both
