5726 White dial tried on lately
Hello everyone,
I had the opportunity to have another look at the 5726 white dial since it was launched last year.
At that time I wasn't really sure about its success and especially the blackened indexes and hands.
I love this Nautilus design.
Today, I've had my Blue 5712/A for nearly a year, I love it because of its thinness, the blue dial, the 240 and its elegance.
Today, I think I would really be inclined to add (and not replace) a White dial 5726/A.
Why? Because I really like the dial's look and its colors (kind of mother-of-perl touch), I like a lot the AC complication + layout and I look at it as a sport watch and thus like its ... thickness, hence its sportiness.
Furtermore it carries the 324 (complementary to the 240).
Just a few words about the 5980: looks great too and better, imho, than the blue dial version. I guess it is because the chrono dial is better integrated into the main dial (same color).
It remains behind the 5726 for me though, as the wide pushers and its thickness make it to big for me.
These are pictures I took lately, hope you'll like them even if not of good quality.
And I wish, after a year, to hear your thoughts about this watch: did you cange you mind about white dials ? Or else.
Cheers,
Mark

Patek 5726
Beautiful timepiece! I remember being rather taken aback when I first saw the white-dial Nautilus. I absolutely loved it and still do. It gives the Nautilus a fresh look in quite a perfect way. Kind Regards, Ryan
Fresh look
Indeed it brings something new to the Nautilus familly, more modern. Something I really like about this white dial. Thanks for the input Ryan. Cheers, Mark
you are welcome...
... on those pics, you will see how the white dial "sucks" the light when there is low light conditions but a sun ray shows up. The dial pops up intensely. And on the 2nd pics, we have a soft sunset that gives a total different feel to the watch. I bought...
We are completly in tune ...
about how to feel with the 5726 on one side and the 5712 on the other. I was waiting for you feedback as I knew it would be interesting to see how you feel after a year. Happy owner, Fricks! It's not a short term project for me but it's a really nice and ...
Not a fan of white dial Nautilus...
And this 5726 is not an exception... Thanks a lot Mark! Fx ...
Thanks for this very nice pics
that I missed in my frenetic downloading session. Don't you like it because it's not an original Nautilus blue dial (and you prefer it that way) or is it because something si bothering you about the white look/material/else? Thanks for you opinion of that...
Taste
I like the blue most for three reasons: very nice color contrast (steel case with wide bezel vs. dark blue dial) , the blue dial color changes from different angles and blue is the original Nautilus color which recalls the color of deep sea. Still, I thin...
I fully agree with your conclusion,
many criterias are in the the kind of clothes you're going to wear and your skin or wrist shape. I guess for me it is perfect :p Thanks for your very interesting input Gisar. Cheers, Mark
Agree 1000%...LOVE THE GREAT WHITE
I think you are spot on. The 5726 white is a great watch and has fantastic wrist presence without being too big. I also agree that it compliments a 5712 1/a in the stable. It's a different watch. The thinness of the 5712 can't be rivaled and makes it a gr...
Yes ...I'm trapped
We see it the same way, not too big, sportier, two watches with the 5712 for two different lives. Congratulations for your Nautiluses, I see, as I am, that your are a Nautilus fan too! Cheers, Mark
White 5726
I didn't like the 5711 in white, but with the moon, the white 5726 is refreshing, and very beautiful!
Mark, it looks ...
much better on your wrist as on mine. Especially with the "white" dial it looks bigger and maybe slightly too big for me. At the end I think it is good to have choices :-) Thanks! Oliver ...
You made me lough,
as, in spite of the fact it looks indeed bigger on your wrist, Your picture is the one that I like most among all the one I have on my computer! (thanks for this new one :p ) Cheers ;) Mark ...
