I prefer 5711/1R, due to its simple, slim and compact design.

I'm with my man Kevin. Plus it comes with a free magazine and not, as commonly misunderstood, the other way around.

5990, the only nautilus you'll ever need. The watches are so different though that they can't really be compared. But if I was spending 50k on any watch, the 5990 would be top of the list.

5711 1R is simply gorgeous to look at and a lovely weight on the wrist.

The 5711 anyday. The 5990 is nice if you want complications but the simple beauty of the 5711 in rose is the winner in my eyes.

Very, very tough poll. I have casted my vote for the 5990 simply because I cant see myself wearing a full gold bracelet. But truth be told, 5711r is stunning! If you feel that a gold bracelet watch goes well with your lifestyle, this is 'the' watch to have imo.

Versatility is the King. 5990 is 300% more versatile.

I would not even dare to wear the flashy 5711r - I accept I am a chicken, but in everyday customer interactions it is not even close.
