Yes it’s a nice watch but I wouldn’t pay $1k above MSRP, let alone $30k in some cases!!
The AP 15500 has a lot more going for it and would certainly be my pick but still wouldn’t pay the premium (which is a lot less than the one for the 5711)
Again, that’s only my humble opinion!
The 15500 is gorgeous but it is large and meaty compared to the 5711. I think a 15202 or 14790 is closer in scale and how it wears compared to a 5711.

I think one has to wear a nautilus for a day to understand its comfort and "silken" feel. The 14790st and 15202st also come close.
