That's a tough question!
Well, I would suggest to have a look at the following elements closely (and after a few visits to see them):
- The movements which are quite very different in decoration and construction. Aside from the style, it is the main difference to have a look at in the mechanical part interests you.
- The coating of the dial and the way the color appears is something very different as well.
As for the whole case and bracelet parts, they are imho on the same level, very nice finishing and craft mastery and it is more a matter of personal taste.
The Nautilus is a little more on the Chic side of the Sport-Chic line while the RO is sportier. Both very elegant, very interesting craftmanship (alternative brushed and polished surfaces etc...).
Furthermore, the RO is 50m water resistance (if I don't make a mistake) while the 5711 si 120m if you consider playing in the water with the watch.
Anyway, both very very appealing choices and a great project. Now my advice is to take your time in order to feel the one you will like on the longer run, that's how I do when I hesitate too much and can't decide. You can think about how you'll wear it and with which clothes for instance....
Cheers, Mark

Nautilus 5711 white
Several months i am looking to find nautilus 5711 blu....no way....i visited paris, london, New York, Milan, Lugano... Now i found new 5711 white....i like it but i have some doubt...especially for its potential value in the per owned market....what you t...
It is depend on your preference!
in case you really want a blue nautilus why wont you just ask some of your AD and join the waiting list? The white one is also nice, and afaik still retain high value in secondary market. (And actualy Patek has better retention value vs many high end bran...
All of the watches that you mentioned seems to be a sport watch with stainless steel bracelet
And with that sum of money you have a really broad options and it depends on individual taste do decide. I'm not a fan of AP Royal Oak series so i will prefer the Nautilus. But I am sure there are a lot of people in here that love AP Royal Oak. I guess yo...
I ordered the blue dial from the salon
And bought a NOS white dial (2nd hand) to wait. And I love it ...
The white is also beautiful and I like it very much
but go for the one you really like, your first choice. A little extra wait is worth it.
Nautilis
In this moment the waiting list is 4 years for 5711 and 1,5 years for 5712...what about royal oak jumbo Blu ?
4 years? is that really true?
I hear differently each time. I think different ADs have different waiting times. For example when I asked the London boutique about the 5235, I was told the list was closed. I asked an AD in another city and he said I was first on his list. I would proba...
You will never actually own a Patek Phillipe
You can order one for the next generation Yes it depends on AD. Some of them have shorter waiting list.
From people's experience I noticed
if the AD/Salon feels you are really liking the watch and you come every now and then to visit the shop in order to know how things are going on about it and they feel you're motivated, they'll be much more likely to please someone like this than someone ...
Welcome on our forum :)
My advice is that you never know how value will behave and it is very diificult to say if it will be good or bad. We believe on this forum that people should like it and feel they will enjoy wearing the watch. It can sound "cheesy" but, in the end and fro...
AP or PP
Thank you for your answer. For me it's first PP and I love the experience to join the PP owners . I can understand your comment because it's impossible to have a fair outlook about the investment . I founded also the AP royal oak Blu jumbo ....I also like...

Actually there is little investment to watches
generally. buy them because you like them and, most importantly, will keep an dwear them over the long term. Otherwise, the whole affair can turn into a financial death spiral quickly.
Very true except that
4 year old pre-owned 5711 are going for 20% above the current RRP. There must be a market for it or they would not be selling them at that price. You are absolutely right though, who knows what will happen in the future. When I was purchasing my Aqua in 2...
No doubt the 5711 is a great value
and there are others, also. I believe the pilot travel time is also in very high demand and hard to get, as are the new Daytona models in steel.
White
It grows in different lights with its silvery shades and is nothing short of stunning! The blue is of course awesome too but imho the white is more versatile and fits better sporty occasions (black hour marks, date window at the same color as the dial) wi...
Agree with Ed Watches here...
....I have a 5711 white and the reason I chose that over the blue was because I felt it was more versatile and in my opinion younger/fresher than the blue. I'm going to wear the watch so the most important thing is how I feel about it and that's why I cho...
I accidentally purchased 2 5711 blue dials at the Maison Patek Philippe in Shanghai.
Would be happy to sell one to you. Taking delivery in March!
