Which one you like most? I like them all! Best, Kari...  

Colours are better here

What's the nicest blue? Best, Kari ...  

I don't have a problem, I'd take them all!!

But now, I think you'll have a big problem, WHAT watch to wear and when!!! ;) I feel I'd want to give all of these amazing pieces 100% wrist time. Wonderful wonderful ! Thanks for sharing, S

I have told it earlier:

2015 will be divided between these four. I want to learn to know which one is my #1, #2, #3 and #4. At the moment I do not have the slightest idea. Best, Kari

If considering only the blue color...

I'll go with the 5712. Kari, have you tried the 5712 on a black trap? A friend of mine wears his on leather and it's amaaazing.

Sorry, I have never tried 5712

 
 By: dr.kol : February 9th, 2015-11:03
I have just the old model 3712. Best, Kari

15202 is my choice

 
 By: rnaden : February 9th, 2015-07:26
I much prefer the date on the same background color as the dial as it doesn't upset the balance as much. The two on the right, while great in their own right would pose a challenge to the eyes in deciphering the date and other information conveyed. Great ... 

I have old eyes

 
 By: dr.kol : February 9th, 2015-11:05
but 3712 is surprisingly readable. Best, Kari

One on the far ...

Indeed, Royal Oak 15202 is charming.

 
 By: dr.kol : February 9th, 2015-04:46
It's funny, when I replaced that with 5711, Nautilus felt so much slimmer and lighter. And when I got home, I measured the same. Indeed, Royal Oak is a bit slimmer but feels much 's funny how much the design can influence. Best, Kari

A very cool foursome!

 
 By: fernando : February 9th, 2015-05:25
Having all four is the only way to enjoy the subtle differences between them .... and they are all outstanding in their own right. What an impressive shot! cheers fernando

Thanks Fernando

 
 By: dr.kol : February 9th, 2015-05:47
I also thought that having all four is the only way to go. Then I started to think that having all six is the way to go. And today I got an interesting offer which is pushing me to think "having all 8 is the only way to go". But if AP is coming with a man... 

AP far left for me

5711?

 
 By: matthewking : February 9th, 2015-06:53
Hi Dr Kol, All else held equal, I'll go with the 5711. I'm torn on whether or not I like how PP kept the white date wheel. AP changing and PP keeping the same kind of embodies a tiny bit of the two brands' DNA. For me, the 5402A > 3700, but the 5711 &g... 

Hi Matt,

 
 By: dr.kol : February 9th, 2015-11:01
It's not a collection but four watches in the same picture. Best, Kari

Very difficult...But the 3712

 
 By: JEC : February 9th, 2015-07:19
All are beautiful but if I had to pick only one then it has got to be the 3712!! Enjoy the all. Best, Javier

3712

 
 By: Hamster07 : February 9th, 2015-08:37
As a PP fan, I face less of a dilemma coz AP's not on my list. Then it becomes easy, 3712 is my choice. Like the original case design, like the dial layout, like the practical functions, though the time-only 5711 is always a good-to-have, and in my ways e... 

Both Nautilus, and if a 5711P was in the group, it should be my very favorite

 
 By: patrickh : February 9th, 2015-10:32
Kari, your "blue" collection is very nice. Enjoy switching between them (and also others of your entire collection). Thanks for your photos. Best wishes, Patrickh

Thanks,

 
 By: dr.kol : February 9th, 2015-11:08
I must admit that I do not understand 5711P. A sporting watch made of platinum? It's a very soft material, heavy and expensive. However, the dial colour of 5711P is wonderful. Best, Kari

Only for the BLUE dial (your comparison thema Kari)

Difficult choice, typically I won't buy 2 watches in same series...

 
 By: Clueless_Collector : February 9th, 2015-11:22
but hey, if you can flirt and afford it, why not? Having said that, my choice in order: 5711, AP jumbo, 3712, then AP PC. It's always good to have options. Congratulations...best tribute to the late GG. Rgds Raymond

I find it very interesting

 
 By: dr.kol : February 9th, 2015-12:01
that so many people prefer 5711 over 15202. If it would be a matter of design, I understand. But in my opinion it is hard to claim that the non-hacking Patek 324 movement would be somehow better than the RO movement. Also RO is much more loyal to the orig... 

you posted on PP forum not on AP forum ;-))

 
 By: patrickh : February 9th, 2015-12:14
Maybe a "good" reason why you had so many PP preference. My 2 cents, Patrickh

You did not take into account that I'm an IDIOT!

 
 By: dr.kol : February 9th, 2015-12:40
I don't know how to post to two forums at the same time. Furthermore, Patek Forum is my "home forum" and I am very new in AP. Perhaps I should apply also for membership of AP Forum. Michael??? Best, Kari

I am so sorry and apologize for my answer I did not imagine which could be

I am nearly never serious - that's the seaman's humour. However, I really do not know how to post to two forums at the same time. And I do not know what's the sense to post the same story twice. I at least read most of the forums and there are only two I'...

four aces. Hope you donĀ“t mind, but I wanted to see the different angles you offered - all together in one picture. Depending on my needs, current watches in possesion and lifestyle (business or casual) I would choose the one that fits best at the time I ...  

You will get a lot of different angles in the future.

Naturally, I need to lear to use my Leica M & new D-Lux first. These photos were taken with iPhone 6 - it's so easy. I'm really bad in everything related with modern technology. In fact I suck in most of the things; that's why I'm playing with shippin... 

The choice would be easy for me...

 
 By: Mike H : February 9th, 2015-17:10
EssaClearly the Nautilus would come first for me. I find the 5712 comfortable to wear, sporty elegant, with a super blue dial full of surprises ( many different kinds of blue depending on the light reflection... ) ; in other words it is quite versatile an... 

Like said,

 
 By: dr.kol : February 10th, 2015-13:50
3712 was my first. Time will tell me if it is still the first choice. Best, Kari

LOVE EM ALL

 
 By: daytonaman799 : February 9th, 2015-17:34
I actually owned most of them...so in order of like... 1) 5712 2) RO Perp Cal 3) RO 15202 4) 5711 ALL AWESOME!!!

I see,

 
 By: dr.kol : February 10th, 2015-13:51
you like the complicated ones. Best, Kari

Lovely collection.....

 
 By: Sandgroper : February 9th, 2015-21:53
You have just positioned them in the right order for me:) My preference goes from left, my favourite of the bunch to the far right my least favourite. Cheers Francois

3712 for me too

 
 By: gensiulia : February 10th, 2015-02:51
3700 is the first. the history. but 3712 has a wonderful complication, and the shades of blue are much better. rare as well, so my choice is explained :) congratulations for all the other watches best, chris

Have you thought:

 
 By: dr.kol : February 10th, 2015-13:58
3712 is the original complicated Nautilus. Best, Kari

Hi Kari, from the perspectives of design and asthetics, my choice is ...

 
 By: GLau : February 10th, 2015-04:54
the Patek 5711 because the dial and bezel look simple (yet sophisticated), exceptionally elegant and timeless. The requirements one might need for certain complications were not factored into my selection process. Enjoy all of them as each on its own is a... 

Indeed,

5711 has something. Best, Kari

What a feast for the eyes!

Like you Kari, I like them all with a slight preferences for the 2 Nautilus :) Fantastic photos thanks for sharing my friend :) Cheers Robin

Great collection

 
 By: ch9698 : February 10th, 2015-13:47
I prefer the 5711 even if I don't. Have the SS one

Study also the Royal Oak a bit deeper.

At least for me it took some time before it started to open. Best, Kari
