I would go for Nautilus if it were my only watch.
It is just more versatile and can go anywhere.
But if i already have another sport watch, i would go for the Other patek.
To be honest, i would buy a more rugged sport watch like Omega seamaster or rolex steel sport, and let go the 5726.
I dont think 5726 is rugged enough for true sport activity, and too valuable to get it dinked.

You must pick one…only one…
First, I haven’t posted here (anywhere) in a few years, so hello all! I happened to have both of these watches out today and realized given the meteoric rise in Nautilus popularity, this might be an interesting question to pose. If you must pick one of th...
Platinum, split seconds, hand finished movement, breguet numerals, high horology, fascinating case shape…
Vs… a nice and sporty annual calendar…
Hard to argue your points…
It seems the attributes you espouse don’t seem to matter as much as they used to…

Thanks for the response!
I’ve worn the 5726 for years now to meetings, summer vacations, and many trips to the pool. It’s incredibly versatile. I won’t reveal my choice yet, but your sentiments are sound.
The 5370...
...I tried one on (a friend's) and it is a very nice fit. The black dial (enamel!) gives it a formal or sporty look...it is a chronograph after all. And the complication is just really hard to find, and very fun to play with : ) If I wanted something wate...
Ah! The “in the metal” experience…
Agree with your observations that the 5370 is far more versatile than most give it credit, and more to play with!! I haven’t put the 5370 in the pool, perhaps we could try that last theory?
Easy pick for me
No date takes the cake. I have reached that point in my life where less is more.
You must pick one…
And forgo the other…this is not a one watch question, but you can’t have both a Nautilus and a 5370 in your collection.
I think it’s quite sad that this comparison is even contemplated
I understand that the market and some collectors have a totally different view to most of us here Julian
Welcome back and good to see that you have two lovey pieces in your collection.
Personally I would choose 5370P because of the split seconds and enamel dial. How is your thought process for these two ?
An answer I expected from you!
And I’ll add and interesting complication to interact with. Hope all is well Nicolas!
Welcome back but seriously🙈
One of these is a horological marvel. I’ll let you guess which one. No brainer. M.
Just having a bit of fun.
Also checking to see if this forum has changed…seems it still has its values…
Fantastic pieces!!
But my answer will be the same as others, and for pretty much the same reasons. The nautilus is a splendid watch, but I prefer the classical look and complication of the one next to it. Even if it were in G and had a standard chronograph I would still cho...
It's no challenge to tell which one people here will choose
...after all, you're posing the question on a site for serious horological aficionados, not on insta where herd hyping happens (primarily to, er, 'sheeple' heh heh 🐑)
Yes, the purist pack goes one way while the hype herd goes the other
And it seems even more than 'mostly' -- rather akin to challenging members of a speedway freaks forum to pick only one of the Porsches in this pic... (pic from a web image search for 'cayenne 911gt3' 😹) ...
5370 however….
….if the Nautilus was on a bracelet, and if that Nautilus was of similar function (split) and this was to be my only watch then I’d go with the Nautilus. A better everyday package.
Erm, the threadstarter was clear about the choice being only between the specific two watches in his photo
Note that this isn't about an only-1-watch life. Beyond the one PP chosen from the two above, we can also have [e.g.] APROs, Rolexes, even other PPs (tiffy-nauti anyone?). In such a scenario, no ifs needed. As has been noted by others, it's a no-brainer o...
I wouldn’t be as confident on the seriousness of the question if that Nautilus was on a bracelet.
Maybe less so among this community, but I don’t think I’d have to venture too far to see the answers sway heavily towards “Nautilus”.
Are you kidding , I wouldn’t even consider letting the 5370 go
Far more superior in every angle
No objection to the consensus here
Plus, as a bonus, there’s no need to reset the 5370 on March 1 😛
Great point, the unanimity of the responses given here should definitely be commended👍In fact, while it’s hard to get unanimity on nearly any topic these days, this same thread would have received VERY different responses in most other venues! ;-)
This truly speaks volumes about the UNIQUE quality of this forum and its membership!👍 Thanks to All who participated so far, and of course to the OP for what turned out to be a most successful “social experiment”!😄❤️🥂
Thanks FabR!
This was indeed a bit of fun. I haven’t posted on any forums in a few years. I am amazed at the amount of discussion (hype?) the Nautilus generates from mainstream watch media to social media platforms. It’s is nice to think there is still a place where t...
You are now amongst passionate enthusiasts who value horology much more than hype my friend...
And to prove it to you, if you ever tire of that lovely 5370P and want to trade it for a Nautilus sport model, I would be MORE THAN happy to offer ANY of mine to you based on secondary market values for both your 5370P and whatever Nautilus you choose. In...
Yep, you told me of your Mougins villa (and golf! :-) Didn't know you also had something in Monaco though, a city I know very well for....past personal reasons, and one of the most fascinating in the world!👍😉
In any case, first the OP should fly to me with his 5370, and then we can pay you a visit in your villa(s) in France! ;-))) Have a great weekend
To summarize…
FabR is flying me to Italy, driving me to meet Holdemchamp who is going to let me pick from his Naultili collection…and you guys just want me to bring the 5726, right??
My sincere pleasure -- you can be sure that for as long as I moderate this forum, the highest horological expressions which made Patek the Brand we all love will ALWAYS take a front seat versus hype, temporary fashion, or speculation :-)
And since I have no intention of going anywhere anytime soon, I hope you'll be back often to enjoy and contribute to our forum! Cheers.
