Since you've had both and are familiar with each,
put the money issue aside and make your decision.
I have both and prefer the Nautilus. For some reason, I just don't gravitate to the Aquanaut and defer to the Nautilus. Maybe it's the dial? I don't know how to explain it, I just feel more comfortable with the Nautilus. So, why did I buy the Aquanaut? I thought I wanted it....so I rationalized myself into buying it because it wasn't crazy money.
Wasn't the first time for me to do something like this, but am trying to be patient and buy only those pieces I really want (within reason, of course).
Good luck..... because I, too, have suffered through similar dilemmas.
Another 5711/1a vs 5167a question
I know this has been asked many, many times before, but I'm at the crossroads and am looking for last minute help. I just picked up a 5196J and love it and am looking for another everyday "sporty" Patek. My choice is between a 5711/1a and 5167a on rubber ...
Go with the one you like more
Gosh, at these prices, $4K does not seem like such a big deal when, as you say, you already know that you like the Nautilus more. The fact that you have owned both of these watches in the past puts you in the position of knowing for sure which one you pre...

5167 vs 5711
I have a 5167 on a rubber strap and love it for its lightness - you really don't know you;re wearing it. I also have a 5712G, but I have a hankering for a 5711/1a too...If money is an issue you probably shouldn't be buying Pateks - there is no logical rea...
rubber strap vs SS
what is the price spread if SS bracelet on 5167 vs the 5711? surely lesser then the 4k spread, so might as well go for the 5711, since you seems indifferent to both, prob a slight preference to 5711, which shld have made up your mind for you.
I was in EXACTLY this situation
about a year ago when trying to decide which Patek to buy. I would not be worried terribly about €4k in such a decision & I love both watches. But without going into the minute details (which on the whole are expressions of personal choice), I h...
get 5167 first
that happened to me as well. So I got the 5167 first. Some time later as i think about it more, I found out that I also like the Nautilus. Then I got the 5980. If I were you, I will take 5167 and when you are ready, get a Nautilus. But if you have 5167, y...
5711 vs 5167
My problem is I like the 5711 just a tiny tad more than the Aquanaut. Just wondering if it's really worth spending an extra $4k for it. I think it's going to come down which watch looks better on my wrist vs. with is a better watch.
Did you wear them when you had them before?
These questions don't make sense from someone who had both before, imo.
