I found 3800 too small on my wrist,

but of course it depends on the size of one’s wrist and on one’s tastes. Also because of my personal tastes, I like the “simple” 5711 better than the 5712. But it’s just a personal preference. But I’m sure your 3800 makes a great duo with your 5065! Thank

I love my 3800. I had both for about a month or two and I wore 3800 way more so I keep it. For me that first picture of yours is just why I didn’t like it. I like seeing some bracelet when I look down at the watch on my wrist plus there is just a lot of e

I tried to confirm that fact but kept falling back on 36mm. But you have it on the wrist so I will update the post.

The main difference between the Patek Philippe Aquanaut references 5065 and 5066 is their case size. The 5065, often referred to as the "Jumbo" Aquanaut, has a 38mm case, while the 5066 has a 35.6mm case, according to some watch blogs. Both models, howeve

Awesome review, Bill. Thank you.

However I believe that 5065 is 38 mm. It is the original 5066 monoblock case, that was 36 mm. Just purchaed 5167R from overseas and it will be here next week. Needless to say, I cannot wait.

Another great review, thank you so much, Bill!

In terms of colors, my favorite is your 5167R: absolutely gorgeous warm tones. In terms of vintage feel, I think I like the 5065 a little better. Just a confusing point: having a look at the Aquanaut 20th anniversary Timeline, I see the same ref. 5065 A-0

Beautiful watch. Thank you for sharing.

Was considering 5167 Aquanaut and found out that the 5065 firs my 6.75"/17cm wrist perfectly. Was always intrigued by 3800 Nautilus (never had a chance to try it on) and worried that it would be on a smaller side....but judging from your pics, I think it

Beautiful watch and thank you for sharing these nice images.

Recently I have been checking 3800J/3 Nautilus quite a bit..... unfortunately I've never had a chance to try 3800 on my wrist in person. I do own 5065 on strap (and bracelet) and the watch is about perfect size to my eyes on my 6.75" (cca 17cm) wrist. Act
