Time to put 5740G back on wrist

With the advent of 50th anniversary of Nautilus, it’s time to put this faithful companion back on wrist. One of the most versatile Patek in my collection, good for both sports and formal events The only weak spot is when traveling to different time zones.

Thanks for the pictures.

Personally, I would be very happy with the 5270 and I much prefer it over a Nautilus on a strap. At least there are two holes so that the dial is balanced. I think perpetual dials look worse where there is just one hole for the leap year indicator, like o

Tried 2 new launches yesterday

The nautilus is just too thin for my taste.. The grey on the 5270 was very nice but the 2 portholes become too jarring

5810G, no question that’d be my pick.

I am still very much a Nautilus fan, but at the same time it remains a pointless watch for me as it’s unwearable. And these anniversary pieces even more so…destined to be flipped and flipped again and for the most part locked away for value retention or j

I've always liked the Nautilus 5711, but last year I got my hands on the launch model, the 3700, and I'm absolutely blown away by its overwhelming presence.

The one on the left is the AJ, a two-tone model, and the one on the right is the A. Although both are made of stainless steel, the 3700 gives the impression of having a denser construction compared to later models. The warranty card states that it was rel
