the dial and bracelet
I must say the dial and bracelet are very special for the
nautilus...
totally agreed with Nicholas that the dial with is dark grey
blue is captivating and charming. the color changes from different angel of light. 
And the design and brushed and polished
bracelet is another unique by Patek that i appreciate very much, furthermore it
is very comfortable to wear, make it perfect choice to wear everyday on any
occasion. The most importantly it is NOT afraid of water 
Pictures are taken with my phone, hope
you dont mind about the quality.
Look forward to see your better pictures of Nautilus than
mines...
Cheers and have good weekend ahead !
NEW ARRIVAL......the watch that i DISLIKE in the past !
NEW ARRIVAL. My first Nautilus in my patek collection. I am long time member but have not participate in the forum for long time, only be a quiet lurker and enjoy reading all your posts and pictures. Since i just got my first Nautilus , Ref 5711/1A SS yes...
Lovely versatile watch
Congratulations. 5711 is the most functional and versatile piece in the Nautilus series. You see more 5712 and 5980 on the pre-owned market than 5711, you can see people keep them for a long long time.
Funny, Michael.
I think we are many to have changed our mind on the PP Nautilus. First, " not a watch for me ", then, when looking at it in the real, " wow, I have to get it ". The finish of the dial, this grey blue, is hard to describe, but I would say " captivating ", ...
i felt my heartrate
..going up on looking at those pictures. I'm aiming for this particular "star" as soon as possible.
5711/1A
Strange enough, like yourself, i too have a few complication pieces in my collection. Now beginning to take admiration on the simplicity of this versatile model. Congrat from an envious admirer.
Michael, congratulations on getting your new Nautilus
Like yourself, I too have warmed to the Nautilus & also the Aquanaut range. I hope that it brings you many decades of pleasure.
Congratulations...
A familiar sounding story. Hope you enjoy wearing yours as much as I enjoy wearing mine. Regards, Richard.
Congratulations - 2 themes rang a bell for me
Michael, Congratulations on your purchase. I'm sure it will bring you many years of reliable timekeeping and enjoyment. I had a not dissimilar conversion, having tried a 5980 on a whim a few months ago. I could not take my eyes off the watch and was more ...
enjoy it
changing of mind is commonplace in our hobby. congrats on your 5711...there is no other sports watch that is that versatile and can double up as a elegant dresswatch that fits beautifully under one cuffs, certainly not the AP ROOs and VC Overseas.
Missed one or two
AP RO 15202 and 15300. Both remarkably slim and elegant sports watches; and designed by none other than Gerald Genta the designer of the Nautilus.

Opens accidentally ?
As far as I can see on the pictures ( I never tried a current model on, for some reason ... ) the bracelet clasp showes no safety feature / gear. Is there something extra avoiding the clasp to open accidentally, like a simple clamp / clip that goes axtra ...
Calatrava Cross
Moritz, I believe that there is a Calatrava Cross piece of metal that folds cover the bracelet, similar to the Rolex Submariner/GMT Master. You can see the metal Calatrava Cross safety feature in a few of the pictures. At least my 3800 has this "security"...
Yes, the Calatrava cross closes ...
... on top of the folding clasp, but , as far as I can recall having tried one 3800 on, it is not quite the same like the Sub's "secutity clasp". I have to try a current Nautilus on. Thanks for the respond. Regards Moritz
A couple of clasp photos
Moritz, a couple of quick photos of the current 5711/1A clasp system. Self explanatory I hope... I've never had the clasp open on me accidentally. Regards, Richard....
MANY, MANY THANKS RICHARD !!!
For the very detailed and cleverly taken pictures! And yes: very selfexplanatory! It seems , still , to me as if this is a single safety feature system. Rolex's Euster Clasp looks / is safer, I believe: it is catching / latches first and than you can fold...
Superb....
How many times you tried it then finally you in love. Congrtas Mike, ear it in good health
Brad Pitt wears a 5711A
I just saw a candid photo of him wearing this watch in a magazine
Well.....
Brad Pitt has also a Blancpain FF and I am certain several others.... Many times it is the case that companies give watches to actors for obvious reasons..... (although it is probably not the case with the above mentioned two watches- it is said that Joli...
