Time to put 5740G back on wrist

With the advent of 50th anniversary of Nautilus, it’s time to put this faithful companion back on wrist. One of the most versatile Patek in my collection, good for both sports and formal events The only weak spot is when traveling to different time zones....

Agree. Gold (not even platinum) is indeed v heavy.

Hi Henry, Your 5740G is a grail of a PC !

How about yours, Gordon? Sleeping in watch box or ticking on wrist 😊?

A grail nautilus indeed. A real joy to see (and I’m sure to wear).

Thank you, Gary. It remains to be my grails... at least at GMT+8 regions ;)

It has been a long time!

Yes, Nico. Really a long time. Will wear it more often particularly in the hot and humid summer time ;)

Feel free to post more pics, mon ami.

Beautiful, Henry

Thank you, my friend. It is indeed not easy for me too. But it's beauty will offset this challenge ;)

A very special one.

Don't part with your 5712/1A, Goh. I am truly thankful that I didn't did that to my 5712/1A more than 10 years ago when once thought of swapping it with a used 5159R.....

Noted, Henry.

Better imho than the PC Cubitus😄

Thank you, Hora. At least size wise..... ;)

Definitely a very nice Nautilus, Henry!

Thank you, Emmanuel. It's indeed gorgeous :)

I find it too heavy on my wrist now, after had the pleasure of owning a couple of titanium pieces

Agree. Gold (not even platinum) is indeed v heavy.
