I love the Nautilus range, and you have a lovely collection there. There are many watches out there i 'dislike' but never amplify my hatred, i don;t see the reason why some people feel the need to brand a certain watch 'ugly'...The Nautilus range is and will FOREVER be an iconic watch that will be around forever. No other watch manufacturer could even pull this type of watch off..only PP could way back in the 70's they sent a shock to the horology world when the Nautilus was first introduced..

Just me 2p worth

Took me 7 years to get all 3 of them. Heard alot of harsh comments (especially from another forum) saying they are ugly, not patek, 70s.....etc. Call me the minority but I like them the first time I saw 3710....could not get the 3712 but 5712 is good enou...  

they are ugly, not patek, 70s.....etc

it was your mission, not anybody else. So who cares about the others? To be honest, I would never drive most of the others cars, wear their kind of clothes, ... Enjoy them, that is THE most important of all. Ref. 3700 is still open, but should be not that...

The problem is that most of the Patek I like seems to be those the majority hates. I like the Nautilus, the Aquanaut, the Gondolo Calendario and the 6000...but every time I read about these models (from other forums), I only hear bashing comments and make... 

No

Hi, The Gondolo is definitely too large for me but I love all other references you mentioned! 5712/1A, 6000G, 5167R, ..... miam! Cheers Dje

What about 5070?

 
 By: Ba Ba : June 25th, 2009-09:56
Hi, I think the 5070s are as big as the 5135 but seems like everyone sing praise about them. On the other hand, almost every comment about the 5135 are about it's huge size, ridiculous lugs... My point is they both are technically big watches but everyone...  

5070 is gorgeous

Hi, The 5070 and 5135 don't have the same length. In fact the case size of the 5135 is nice but the lugs are too straight and too long for many many wrists. On the contrary the 5070 lugs are IMO better proportionned. Still if the 5070 is superb in any col... 

Weird?

I find them rather elegant! Very nice pic, by the way! Best, Nicolas

Baba, that is great!

Yep, while viewing your pic, I was thinking the same... An original Nautilus, and it is just perfection! Congratulations. Best, Nicolas

5712/1A is one of my favorite PP.
