IMHO The Chrono ticks so many boxes. I have seen the other and I find its dial is quite washed out when I first saw it I thought it would be great but left me uninspired. I think it is not very popular either as I have seen it in several dealers windows… ...
Take both and next Nautilus will come to pay for one of them for itself, congrats in advance 😅😜 Jokes aside, if it’s me, I go by function that I don’t have, eg Perpetual calendar, but I will need to compare it with other models. If I need a mechanical Chr...
The perpetual is nice too, and probably a great daily Patek that can dress up or down; but the pull of the 5172 movement is too strong for me. What a nice choice to have. Cheers, John

The differences are dial colour (matted blue vs ivory lacquer), hand winding chronograph vs automatic perpetual calendar. Generally speaking, being a hand winding caliber, 5172 should be a line higher than the 5320 with automatic caliber inside. But I thi...
But which one did you really want? A Nautilus, Aquanaut? You should pick the one you like and want to wear, and then, proudly, pass it on to the next generation (...) If you only 'want one' for a quick profit, go on, join the pack - oh, cynical me...
I would go for the 5172, but simply due to my current collection, it would fit much better. But would go for the 5320 instead if looking for a more versatile and practical piece. Enjoy the process and keep is posted!
the PC function is so magically and “timeless” ! Furthermore, the dial is so balanced. The dial of 5172 is less balanced to me, but the overall color scheme is great. At the end, between these two, it depends on which complication you want in your collect...
Since I have been in almost the same situation I went with the 5172G, from a complication perspective they are Apple and Oranges yet from the look I would definitely go with the 5172.
