Very difficult choice
WR of 5811 would permit me to wear as a daily and literally not ever remove the watch.

The 5740 has a snap back vs screw down so as (I imagine) to accommodate the 240 movement.
the crown may or may not be screw down? (If it is , what’s the point?)

The nautilus line is imho the best sports watch ever made , the AP RO takes a back seat because of the lack of WR.

But the 5740 dial and complication are straight up incredible.
this perpetual calendar complication with an automatic movement while also super thin is among pateks greatest creations . The crispness and color of the dial is so right. The micro rotor is exactly what you would want in this watch for its beauty and thinness.

Anther notable difference is the gradient dial of the 5811. It is a bit more extreme than I’m used to.

I would pick the 5740… but I could see it sitting in a draw too often because of the lack of WR and eventually being moved on for something else. It is perfect in every other way and is like a collection of greatest watches rolled into one and executed exactly right.

Based on the above Clearly I am crazy so consider my thoughts for entertainment value
