Thank you
As usual, all depends !
1st decision:
Both Nautiluses are very different and it is hard to tell without knowing you.
I own a 5712 and my choice was leaded by the thinness and thus, it elegance.
But I like the 5980 white dial quite much too. But in a very different way as it is much bigger.
I don't really like the 5980's blue dial because of the subdial color integrated in the blue dial. The white dial feels much lighter to me, but that's personnal.
Maybe the blue holds better value but I think giving to much importance to this criteria is not a way to be sur to choose the watch taht will please you in the long term.
2nd decision:
Difficult to say as I'm not an Aquanaut fan but the travel time complication has been cleverly designed and makes it a great watch.
My favorite Nautilus
5712 / 5164
Of course it's a patek!
5980A/5167A
I have seen other white dial Nautilaus models (5711A and 5726A), but have not seen the 5980A white dial in person. In looking at photos, the contrast appears a bit off comapred to the blue dial 5980A. However it is a relatively inexpensive way to obtain a PP chronograph watch as the other chrono watches are more expensive. I personally prefer simple watches like the 5711A Nautilus and the 5070/5170 chronotgraph, but that is certainly my own personal preference. As for the Aquanaut, the 5167A is a classic. The 5164A travel time is nice if you regularly travel across time zones.
I would say go for the 5980A white dial if you really want a nautilus chrono and the pricing is reasonable for you as Patek will increase the price of their next Nautilus chrono watch. As for the Aquanaut, I would recommend saving your money and getting the 5167A.
