Patek Philippe Nautilus vs Audemars Piguet Royal Oak
Hi!
I´m going to by one of those. I´m really at a point where I like them both exactly the same amount... So I could really use your opinions and expertise. Which do you think suits better finance/ banking environment, which is better quality (durability wise.. I work a lot), which do you prefer and why?
Thanks!
And do you know which watches some of the Wall Street "stars" use? I know only the following:
Soros: PP Aquanaut Buffett: Rolex DD James Gorman: Rolex Lloyd Blankfein: Swatch
Wouldn´t happen to know anyone who sports a Nautilus or a Royal Oak?
It's scary that you know what those guys wear to that detail.
I have never been a huge Patek fan so I'd go with the AP
Also, who cares what watch those tool bags you listed wear? Especially Buffet.
AP Royal Oak (Since you're comparing these specific models)
Always Patek.
I would almost always recommend the Patek over the AP, with the exception of a few vintage AP's. Do you know the reference numbers of the watches that you are considering? When it comes to the modern Nautilus, you can't really go wrong with a stainless 5711 or 5726. Because of the unique shape of the case/dial, a lot of people find the dial of the 5712 to be a bit crowded. However, when you are spending that much on a watch, always go with what you like best. Some of my favorite watches cost me less than $5,000. I probably look at my wrist about 5 times an hour, and 4 of those times I am just admiring the watch that I chose to wear that day. Good luck!
Patek is the better choice for any gentleman. And if you're worried that someone might not know what a PP is, then I wouldn't worry too much about them. Are they really the kind of people you would want to associate yourself with? In the eternal words of ArchieLuxury, "if you don't know what a Patek Philippe is, you're a neanderthal".
I agree with @Jake_G"'s comments above. My vote is for the Nautilus 5711, but it depends what you're looking for. I think the Nautilus is dressier than a RO, but both are classic Genta designs and you can't go wrong either way.
The price gap can be pretty huge between some AP options and a Nautilus.
Are you looking to get an AP jumbo or AP royal oak chrono?
Just do not get an AP royal oak offshore for a formal environment.
AP, no contest.
Patek's have more of a legacy and greater status as heirlooms.
At the same time though, AP has magnitudes-higher appeal in my opinion via its unique, unintentionally neo-contemporary design.
