5711/1r vs 5990/1r

Hello all, if you only were going to keep one rose gold Nautilus in collection which one would you keep, 5711/1r or 5990/1r? Thank you

5990 easily

If you're going RG, go big and that one is the Mac daddy... the blue dial is a mesmerizing contrast to the RG

There’s a certain elegance to the 5711/1R that comes from it’s thinness so I prefer it over the 5990

While I like the 5711/1r….The presence of the 5990/1R is something else. It’s a showstopper.

Does anyone have experience wearing 5990/1r? How comfortable is it on the wrist? Considering larger size and more weight?

5711/1r vs 5990/1r

All the rose gold nautilus’s are show stoppers
Never had one so can’t comment but if I had to quit buying watches a rose gold nauti could be my final (any of them)

The 5990 is not for me. While the dial is nice enough the four pushers and added thickness ruin the case for me. Not into the travel time complication either. The chrono pushers work best on 5968 which is the Patek sports chrono to get IMO.
