We have one of my "Unofficial Versus" showdowns to hold you until next Sunday's regular feature! No editing, no post, no prep, no cuts: two awesome watches. Let me know below which you would choose.
Best,
Tim
WatchBox Reviews DOPE!
This should have been an "Official Versus"...too big of a fight not to be on prime time pay-per-view
Aquanaut!!
Great job. I like how Tim summarizes the distinction between the 2 watches at the end. Lots of value added as usual by Tim.
Another awesome video, Tim. Love these VS format reviews you've been doing lately. Keep them coming!
Great review as always!
For me it’s the Aquanaut! I bought the Aquanaut and have no regrets. I got it on the bracelet and was told I could easily buy the clasp and strap from PP. The bracelet is really nice on the Aquanaut too.
Hi Tim, great comparison as always. I like this format of presentation. Watch-wise, nothing beats the 5711 blue. I love this watch and I truly think this is the nicest looking watch in the history of horology. Cheers
I laugh every time you subtly jab at Patek for pins and sleeves! 😂 Great comparison, Tim. Aquanaut for me!
I've owned both, sold the 5711 when the prices got ridiculous on the secondary market and the Aqua was getting most of the wrist time. And Aqua on rubber, not the steel bracelet. The Royal Oak 15202 has the best integrated bracelet in horology, followed by the new GMT Jubilee and then the 5711 bracelet. everything else pails in comparison for fit, finish and comfort
Yup.. you sold waaaay too early 😅
Oh god I can’t imagine the regret it’s 200,000 usd now
what about rolex day date bracelet
My two favorite watches of all time.
That is so cool that the numbers glow and not just the indices. I’d sooner go for the Aquanaut as a regular day to day timepiece. I’ve not had the luxury to hold these models in person but all the feedback has been 100% positive.
Something I've always wanted to see. Big fan of the Aquanaut, fell in love with it after noticing Paul McCartney wearing his in an interview, I believe Ringo was wearing one as well.
Great video, love your comparisons. Interesting to see so many positive thought on the Patek's. I am a big fan of them but I do have to say that they are quite underwhelming at the given price range. Its like the Rolex (using their reputation, no innovation, restricted supply) of their price class... The bracelet on the 5711 has one of the worst clasps I have used in a long time. Opening and closing the claps is one of the most painful and unenviable acts ever. Not sure how at +25k sports watch can have such a bad clasp. The 324 SC does not feature a stop-seconds, which is something you would expect in a modern sporty watch (and honestly, the big rotor does not look good either).
I love these versus that you do. I have to lean more towards the 5711, not just because it's the crown jewel in my collection, but because I love it's simplicity. If you don't know what it is, one would just think that its just a regular watch.....no unnecessary attention.
Great info. Nautilus all the way for me. I'm quite surprised how many are saying aquanaut in the comments.
Couldn’t decide so i got both. They are lovely watches. Incredible attention to detail.
Congrats! Two great pieces to have in your collection. Wear them in the best of health!

Awesome showdown, amazing watches, but for me i would go for the Nautilus, because of the dial, the bracelet, and the case shape.
We love the format Tim, Thanks for the share :)
Best,
Abdul
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback as always Abdul!
We appreciate your support!

I used to love the nautilus, now its all about the Aquanaut is slimmer, its got a nicer dial, nicer clasp, more areodynamic case its modern iteration with less non functional metal bits.
Best explanation as always. Lovely watches, likewise the video! Well done
Nautilus - all the way bar far - really unique and neat design.
Quite the dial comparison, but more intriguing are the bands
bro these watches deserve 4k
I love my 5167a-001 in every way the sportiness, size, lume, rubber strap and how it's a fly under the radar timepiece. The only issue I have is the wide deployment buckle pinches my wrist when closed which is a bit uncomfortable.
I think they have fixed the aquanaut along the way.. the orange chrono is fantastic
I would have to go Aquanaut but I like them both...sucker for black dials...I don't think the Nautilus offers one.
The Aquanaut "is .2 millimeters thinner than the Nautilus." Huh? That's 1/127th of an inch. Is that detectable to a human being--or measurable with anything short of a science lab instrument?
My pick is the aquanaut on steel bracelet...
I had both,I sold both because a real patek needs complications...now I have a 5712g and a 5164a,way better!
Have and enjoy both but really love my world time
...also bought both as nearly new but 2nd hand.....nautilus was £21k and Aquanaut was £13k......it was a very good day’s work as they are just ridiculously expensive in the current market. Given that I would rather sell a kidney than let either go.
I consider myself very lucky to have both....the 5712/1A and the Aquanaut, but on bracelet. I can honestly say that both are flawless (not bothered about hacking secs) and I cannot put a cigarette paper between them.
I own the Aqua and while I thought I would have to order the steel bracelet, I am unexpectedly loving the rubber band.
Hmm. Genuinely, flip a coin on these two pieces for me. Love em both! Love the refined and classical styling on the Nautilus that still manages to be down to earth. Love the utilitarian and bold styling of the Aquanaut that still manages to convey its luxury heritage. Love the dials on both, love the straps on both. I'd be a very happy man with either on the wrist!
Picking between these 2 watches is kind of like being asked which is your favorite child, isn't it?
--Team WatchBox
Yup. Tommy Nautilus is growing up fast, and he's got brains and class but he's got his heart set on the ivy leagues and it's gotta cost a fortune. Suzy Aquanaut, his younger sister is more level headed, but she just wants to teach Ju Jitsu and climb mountains.
Tim, the 5167 and 5711 are different watches with the same movement but I sensed you positioning the Aquanaut as a compromise. Not sure I agree. They are both exemplary in their own right.
They are in different categories while aquanaut looked much younger. Having an 5167-1a and is asking for 5168-g green :)
Great comparison!
Aquanaut by a mile ! The Nautilus looks dated and ready for the rest home. Actually that may be the best place to purchase one....................
I couldn't find either down at my local Walmart.
BOTH are sweet, but the Nautilus is SO FIRE in it's design!!!!!!!
If you want the nought the aqua is the hoop the dealer makes you jump through
Nice informative video.
A rubber strap will age over time and turn brittle (just like an aged tire), besides looking cheap mounted to such an expensive watch.
I like bracelet watch more then rubber strap watch. I am choosing the Patek Philippe Nauttilus because its bracelet and case are more beautiful then the Aquanaut.
Hi Tim
Can you do a review of the aquanaut on the steel bracelet please?
I didn't like the Nautilus at first. Thought the AP royal oak looked better. But I somehow changed my mind. It's my favorite watch atm
Now I only need the money for it 😂
super designed and perfect sized watches and you really do want both... but there are 2 quite large problems (excluding the price) 1) non-hacking 2) having to cut the rubber on the aqua... these are hum-dingers for me... but If you don't mind that, then these two watches really are the 🐝 knees.
Non-hacking on the aquanaut at the price??? *gasp*
Can you still order this watches from Patek?
Tim,
I have two questions:
1) What's your thoughts on Patek not going with dial colored date disks with white writing?
2) It appears the wing on the crown side of the Nautilus functions as a crown guard. What is the wings function opposite the crown?
Best,
Mark
12:18 non hacking but quick set seconds? What is quick set seconds? Or he just meant quick set date?
prices?
Nautilus is an icon, no doubt about that. still the ears look goofy, not even talking about the price, that's mere demand and supply.
I went for the 5167 and love it. Couldn't spend that much for a rubber bracelet watch so went for Steel bracelet which is good but not as good it s supposed to be for a Patek, it's below Nautilus and far below AP's
I have both, albeit my Nautilus is a 5712. They are completely different watches. The 5712 is my favorite watch. But, by far the 5167 is the most comfortable watch I've ever worn. You should have mentioned current prices, as it might be confusing to hear the prices you mentioned, vs the prices on your website.
Thanks Carl - you are a lucky guy! 2 great watches to have in your collection. We try not to mention pricing too much on these videos, because we want them to be timeless, where secondary market pricing changes over time.

Wait wait wait wait... your telling us that the 5711 one of the THE most iconic watch’s ever one of THE most well made watch’s ever by the best watch makers in the world a watch that has a 10 year wait list that goes for upwards of $30,000 and on the secondary market goes for $50,000 doesn’t hack??? This dream peace can’t be accurately set? I mean all this money all this craftsmanship all this artwork the prestige of the watch all that and the damn seconds hand doesn’t even stop moving when you pull the crown out? Come on man... still want one though
It definitely hacks. I set my 5164 to Hodinkee time no problem.
5711/A1-010
Nautilus. I hate numbers.
Bracelet design of the 5711 looks like a Nautica cheap watch. Nothing like the Royal oaks!
1:46 is it just me? I don’t like the bracelet clasp it looks so flimsy
Yep.
Whats the point of comparing two watches that are impossible to obtain for 99% of the population?
This video is for the other 1% which is still a billion dollar market
I would take Nautilus all day long.
I'm just wondering who is getting sweaty and gritty while wearing a Patek. I doubt there's many. Lol
People in the Middle East who have to wear a watch outside when it’s 125 degrees outside or even in the south west of the US
Totally don't get the craze
You sell these at a higher price than Patek!
Nautilus is the best 🏆❤️
Greg Mieg My choice, they have the same mechanism, but Nautilus is much more complex
Agree Nautilus - bracelet, more interesting design and nicer dial
@@richardbaptist5080
i think that the dial of the Aquanaut is .... a mess
actually , it's my opinion .... not because i have a 3800 Nautilus , second hand buy in the early 2000 for only 5 500 €
Aquanaut all the way
Aquanaut .
Aquanaut
Astro mix scon for lov viv anfascrupiah...
Come on. No one would look at your wrist with a magnifier😜😜😜
I’m feeling nauty
I have both and I don't wear them. It is unbelievable how ugly they become once your own them. I wear my Aqua Terra daily (approx. +2 seconds per week), I need accuracy in my life, Patek, AP and Rolex don't offer it. And yes, the original Genta design 15202ST is better looking watch.
Patek is so hot right now, if you don't wear them, would you consider selling them? Depending on when you purchased them, they could be worth a lot more.
--Team WatchBox
5711/1A blue is 2011 and 5167A is 2016, but both warranties are on my name and both watches I purchased on my birthday, so they both have the same date on them, just one is 2011 and the other 2016. I will keep them and give them to my kids one day. I am shocked how boring the design is, I can still wear 5167 now in the summer, but the Nautilus I cannot wear, it looks so dull.
man what a shame , 5711 is my dream watch but then again .. everybody is free !
It is your dream watch because you don't have it, if you ever get a chance to buy one for retail BUY IT and SELL IT immediately. It is astonishing how dull that watch is to wear. It was my dream watch as well, and I was super excited to own it for the first 3-6 months, after that, it became more and more painful to wear it.
49fiori the white dial is much better own it and would never sell it
Both look cheap. Especially the aquanaut
Both watches are completely overpriced (even for luxury watches). The Aquanaut dial is a shame.
Two completely different classes of timepieces.
how?? they're both steel sports watches.
Im gonna but this shit fr🥵
Seems like everyone here owns a patek...
Two grossly overpriced status symbols
Ray Carruth Completely agree. They don’t even hack... and people criticize Seikos 5 for the lack of hacking, a watch that sells for 90 dollars not 30000! It’s amazing how companies managed to make people believe they’re unique., selling them goods at 20 times their price or more.
@@borispradel1037 you pay for the brand obviously...but You are right- the price is too high ...
Aquanauts are ugly as sin. Aside from price, why would anyone get it over a nautilus?
