Ladies Patek Nautilus
Hi all
Been looking into a ladie's Nautilus and found 2 interesting models
7008: Mechanical movement with date, stainless steel with diamond bezel (only 50 at 0.71ct total)
7011: Quartz movement, 18ct white or rose gold
Now both are at the same price point, so I am guessing the 7008 additional cost is the mechanical movement + diamond bezel
The 7011's price is more attributable to it being 18ct gold
Which would be the better choice? Obviously prefer a mechanical movement. I also assume this will have better retained value as well.
The other alternative is to get a mens 5711. Bigger case though and no diamond bezel. However at a considerably lower price point.
Opinions? thoughts?
Thanks

I've been looking also...
.. at the ladies Nautilus options, and I came to the following conclusion. Some women will look great in the 5711; mine will not - so that option is out for me. (However, if you can this is a great choice: classic Patek, holds value probably best, unisex ...
You're lucky!
"Holding it's value" is a characteristic that pales in comparison to "what matches" the things in her waredrobe for my wife?
For me it's easy.
I will not buy a watch using batteries, especially in this price range. Furthermore, Nautilus is a sporting watch so steel is a better material than gold. Dress watches in gold are another issue and in my opinion Breguet's Reine de Naples is very hard to ...
Diamonds on a sports?
Agree that SS is better for sports watch, but then having diamonds on the bezel contradicts that
I agree!
Very seldom there are perfect solutions. In the case of female Nautilus, one has to choose between diamonds and a quartz movement. For me diamonds are not as bad as a quartz movement. In one interview Thierry Stern opened the future a bit and admitted tha...
Statistics have shown that most ladies prefer quartz
watches. My wife has both and wears the quartz watch 95% of the time. I would make sure an exchange could be made in the event she prefers something different from what you select. By the way, I don't know of too many ladies who don't have a "thing" for d...
Ask a lady
There's no question in my mind that the mechanical watch is superior. I asked my wife (who has an array of different Patek's), however, and she couldn't care less about the mechanical movement. Indeed, she would rather have a quartz timepiece because wind...

... spend the extra money to get the 7010/1 G with the diamond bezel. Diamonds, Precious Metal and the Ease of a Quartz Movement far out weigh the beuaty that you and I might appreciate in a Patek Mechanical watch. Sorry.
