As an owner of the 5740,
I do enjoy wearing it but it’s a pretty “jiggly” timepiece … doesn’t really feel like a solid gold watch like a Vacheron or Rolex “feel solid” .. put on a platinum president and you get the idea I’m trying to convey…
It’s in the winder most of the time…
But
It’s nice to know I have it.. and I wouldn’t sell it - it’s the only nautilus I have actually - sold my 5712r as there are just too many out there.. this has a certain snob value… people look …
But bottom line, it’s simply not enuf … for me…
I think I would enjoy wearing the 5990r more…
My 2 cents sir…

The 5740
Hi everyone, I am seriously considering the 5740 after letting go on the idea of 5711/1R. Any feedback from the experts here? I have one being offered to me so i am considering it. Thanks in advance. ...
i would go for it
it it is offered at retail price. Otherwise i guess there is still too much of a premium even though the watch is great thin avec very beautiful .
To me it is the most beautiful nautilus
I'm not a nautilus guy, but if I were you I'd get it
Considering you're asking yourself the question...
Considering you're asking yourself the question would indicate you're not totally convinced it's the right one for you. I've never bought a watch where I needed encouragement from others - that's simply an indication that I didn't like it enough on my own...
Thanks Patrick…
But at the price offered, i felt i should ask… as you can imagine, this is not a retail offer. I did like the the 5711/1R but i felt given the price difference, the 5740 would be more interesting. I also own a 5711 steel blue.
I definitely didn't assume it was a retail offer.
I definitely didn't assume either way; if it was an offer at retail, or an offer with markup. But definitely, my advice would apply to both scenarios. I will say, I'm not crazy about perpetual calendars - they're a pain to set and if you forget to put it ...
I tried one on (a friend's)...
...and it is a special piece. The only Nautilus that really appeals to me... I was surprised by the weight and would have preferred stainless steel, but one can't have everything : )
Well we all love it at retail; so it really comes down
If you didn’t get this piece; what would you get? I got to try one on this week and it was awesome. As others said; it’s super thin for being a PC; and it’s WG so it has the left and less bling; but all nautilus are bling bow no matter what metal!
Given the money involved, I, as the Patek moderator, welcome your question !👍. Just because you might not be totally convinced, our forum is exactly
the place to help you decide. I agree with you that 5740 is a much more desired watch given its complication with such a thin case. The heft is also great just like the 5711R. For me, I would take 5740 on a relative basis with 5711R. Let us know what you ...

No…
It’s just too light .. lacks density / heft hence its offers little satisfaction as a “solid gold watch”
Interesting..
When i tried i felt it is heavy for a nautilus. I have the 5990 steel and the 5740 looked heavier
To me 5990/1A is heavy ! 5740 might have the same weight but in a much
smaller and thinner case 💪
i think i am...
close to pulling the trigger on this one. expensive but i liked it when i tried it. i felt it is really rare compared to other models.
An early congrats because I
like 5740 a lot. Please share wrist shots and your thinking as an owner at the appropriate time.
