This one is beautifull ! Mine is not the same reference but a 5726..I wear it everyday…
Pretty boy, I have a question for you : do you still wear and love tour 5164 R ? What are your thoughts about it after years ? I remember you didn’t keep your 5524G…Thank you ! ...
5164R is still my favorite Aquanaut.
The 42 mm diameter models are too big for my taste. The travel time complication of 5164 is very useful and easy to use. Originally, I wanted a 5164A but when I saw the R, I was smitten. The R case in combination with the chocolate brown dial is awesome. ...
You inspired me to wear mine tonight for a meal with the family!
We tried a local Italian here in the southern hemisphere. The food was average at best. But I definitely enjoyed the company of the 5726. ...
Having been lucky enough to wear both on the wrist,
I can agree with you that the 5726 is “fine” in its thickness wrt the 5711/12; though it is a different feel on the wrist. I ultimately chose the 5726 for its central seconds and easier to read date indication over the 12.
I am with you in loving the 5726/1A. Not only that, at the risk of committing heresy and getting banned from the Forum😂, I would rather own the 5726 than 5740G. Why?
Pluses for 5726: 1) stainless steel, perfect for a sports/sporty watch 2) continuous motion on the dial via the sweep seconds 3) the annual calendar is a great complication. similar to a perpetual and no big deal to set it manually one day a year 4) littl...
Many thanks for your comprehensive analysis, Patekova.
I agree on most counts. As far as sports or sporty watches are concerned, ultra thin isn’t a major consideration for me. I rather like it when the case has some substance (not beyond 12-13 mm though).
I’d love to own and wear them both!!
Great comparison! Thank you. But as you said, we are comparing apples to pears in 5726 v 5740. Totally different feeling on the wrist I’d argue. On that basis, I’d take them both any day! I’d also like to see the eventual 5811/A version!
Thank you for your kind words. Yes, they are very very different but both are excellent in their own way. I would think at some future date they would have to do a steel version
of 5811 although probably they will have mixed feelings about doing that, particularly after all the secondary market craziness with 5711. I also suspect they will do a RG version of 5740 which I think will be exceptionally attractive and highly sought af...
I am biased towards “white” metal as they tend to go under the radar…
That said, the 5740 in rose will be one attractive watch I’d agree. The demand will be next level. As for the 5811, I saw one at an exhibition and tried it on. It is very elegant but quite sizeable. The 1mm makes a difference 😁😁
In love with this piece due to the
blue dial, steel case and price point ! 👍 My only issue is its thicker case on my small wrist 😅
