Neither. Both don't appeal to me.

I've tried both, I'd get the AP. I have two Pateks including the 5167 which I kind of prefer to the 5711.

44ss. Had one, loved it. Also like PP but found I liked the 5711 mainly because other people seemed to like it. End of the day, I found it too plain and stopped thinking about one.
44ss vs 5726 or 5980 and it's a bit more interesting. |

They are two very different watches. I looked at these two side by side and went with the AP 44mm. The PP was too small for me and looked plain. I was able to compare the white dial 15400 as well and I actually thought the detail and quality of the 15400 was better than the 5711.

the ROO seems to be a different level. the dial has lots of classy detail, the patek looks like 50 dollars watch. im not talking the movement, but the looks. |

PP is more elegant and dare I say it, more versatile (casual+formal) than the 44mm ROO. I say this while owning a 44mm FC ROO.
However, I choose the ROO in this case as the 5711 in white does nothing for me. IMO Nautilus looks best in blue dial. If I were to go for a Nautilus I'd spring for the 5980/1A in blue, which is a clear upgrade over the ROO from a fully in-house chrono and higher retention value standpoint. |
