Nautilus 3800 vs. 5800
Hello:
I have been reading so many informative posts on this PP forum and I would like to thank everyone in advance for all the valuable information and knowledge you have shared.
I am looking into purchasing a Patek Nautilus and would like to ask for your opinions. I am contemplating between the discontinued 3800 (with Roman markers) or the updated 5800 version with stick baton. Which do you recommend? Also, is there much difference between the two, other than the clear back and the 1mm size difference? Any suggestions or opinions would be very much appreciated! Thank you.

...iT all depends on your own taste ...
which is your choice ?? I prefer the older model ... u ?...
WOW....amazing pictures!
Thanks so much for sharing. That is quite a collection. Can anyone tell me if there are any significant differences between the 3800 and 5800?
Plenty of differences ...
Lets start with case design, older version, the sides are straight, new version is curved, then the thickness, the luminous dial for older version is thinner, the luminous of the hands for older version, also thinner, modern version is thicker, bracelet f...
I'd go with the 5800.....
I did a review about the watch a little while ago I pasted it below if you haven't seen it before. I think the fatter stick markers, extra 1mm in size plus the open back makes a real difference and was the reason I went with the 5800 rather than the 3800 ...
aquanaut size...
Hi Tony - Thanks for the review - great information. I am a big lover of the aquanaut and similarly have a 6.5 inch (or so) wrist. I am trying to decide between a 5165 and a 5167 and cant easily try one on unfortuantely! Any thoughts on this? I have a new...
3800 or 5800
Hi guys. This is my first time buying a Patek p. So I'm doing a little research. Am a bit confused. Is the review of the nautilus and the aquanaut above for the 5800 nautilus or 3800? Do you guys think the 1mm difference would be significant in terms of l...
A matter of taste and preference.
The fun thing about 3800 it came it various dials, various metals, whereas, 5800 is a replica of 5711, slightly thicker than a 3800, with a curved outer case for 5800 vs the straight case for 3800. 5800 was produced within two years, patek decides to cut ...
i have
latterly being attracted to the nautilus but am a bit confused as to the variety available. is the size of case the only difference between the 3800,the 5899 and the 5711? what about the movement?will graetly appreciate your input. best henry
If you want the 5800, might as well go for the 5711
I used to own a 3800 and I ended up trading it for a 5711 about 3 weeks after I bought it. The 3800 is a great watch but it is very small by today's standards. The price, however, is appealing considering that it's a lot cheaper than the 5800 or 5711. Per...
3800, 5800 or 5711
At least that narrowed down the choice. So its now 3800 or 5711. I guess Ill just have to try the actual watches so I can decide which size would be sufficient for my wrist. Thanks for the insights
IF size is what you are seeking ....
then go with 5711, cause that is probably what most people will go for. Because i am not a very large & tall person, 3800 somehow fits comfortably on my wrist. Later, i will post some pics of my 3800 & 5800 . Do shop around, you might find, 5800 is the le...
Pics
Thanks. It would be a lot of help if you could post some pics of your 3800 or 5800. Specially the wrist shots. Im also a not so tall and big person. With panerais I use 40mm since the 44 is too big for my wrist. Cheers
