Definitely trying to get my first Patek, hopefully I'll have a chance within the next year or so. On a list for a few.

Not on the list, but my vote is for the 5713 because it is the only one I have and the only one I will ever need. I am never selling it, but the fact that it is now selling for at least twice what I paid for it (MSRP) four years ago is icing on the cake.

How far has the 5712 come in the last few years, was never nearly as popular as the 5711 before with its once weird asymmetrical dial.

Surprise to see 5712 overtakes the poll. I like its thinness and quirky dial but cannot see how the 5711 which has the essence of the original Genta design gets second place to 5712. If I want complication, I would pick up the 5740G but then of course I am biased.

5712 vs 5711 just comes down to the WR for me.
The 5712 has the 240 micro rotor that I love but it also has a snap back.

It's a strong case that the 5712 became the most popular Nautilus after it came.

I can't recall the 5711 on the back cover of the Patek magazine, but the 5712 was on many.

I understand the exposure in a magazine is primarily to move the more slow moving pieces. Of course there is no need to advertise the 5712 now but it used to be a slow mover.

I'm not surprised, the 5712 is part of the iconic Nautilus line, and also the very first ref. (the 3712 the year before) to actually house a complication. It is a very unique watch due to the dial. I personally find the 5711 dial empty due to the use of batons, the dial of 5167 is much more balanced since they used hour indices.

You are not surprised, I am amazed.

PS. Date is a complication.
