I may be biased, as I own a PP; but, while I greatly respect your AP Jumbo, I love the Nautilus, and even much prefer it’s band. The contrasting polish/satin finish is stunning. Two stellar timepieces.
Have always preferred wearing the Audemars however more recently I decided to buy a Patek, got to say it but I prefer the Patek. Not sure if it’s because the watch has gained popularity in the last few years but I got allot of complements when I was wearing it. Definitely worth a buy.
4K with great lighting. Your beautiful photography showed off those pieces wonderfully. Sometimes it's hard to show off watches on camera. And it's often difficult getting a good enough look at them on TH-cam. So please, keep up the good work.
no, it's not. it's just an overpriced gadget for people who have more money than they know what to do with. you're paying for the name and perceived status, nothing more.
That's a difficult pick. The PP would just take for me. Your collection to be honest is what I would like to achieve. There isn't one watch I wouldn't love to have. Your a lucky (I'm sure deserved) man. Cracking reviews keep it up
As much as i enjoy the nautilus and how it fits on my wrist, i am not a fan of the dial layout of this particular model so I would go with the much simpler ap for this head to head.. My ideal choice between the two brands with models that have similar functions, would be the 26574 from ap. the dial is just so well executed that i could forego the power reserve function. regardless, excellent acquisitions and videos as always.
I like the fact you show the whole 'package' as it were. Boxes, papers etc and not just the watches. For my tiny wrists I'd have to go for the AP Royal Oak in 36mm. I think its discontinued now? What's your opinion between the 14790ST/O/0789ST/07 Vs. a 14790ST.OO.0789ST.10 ? Also I hear APs are a bit more delicate movement wise?
Personally I would go with Patek as it can be both sporty and classic. I see you have reviewed more Patek than AP so guessing you're on the same side as me ;) Also can you review A. Lange & Söhne? :D
Prices actually more or less the same. You would also pay at least an additional 9-10.000 for moonphase complications. Personally I think the most beatiful Royal Oak and Nautilus are the original ones without the complications. They simply distract the lines in the original design
I personally would prefer 5711 to 5712, but from the author's perspective, it makes sense to choose 5712. Both AP and Patek are gorgeous. True icons. Hope to have one someday.
Either of these watches would make me very happy. I love the bracelet on the AP but, for me it would still be the Patek. Great video as usual, I love you reviews. 👍
Patek wins here. Having a Nautilus is a privilege. It’s very difficult to get one and the watch movement is night and day with AP one. For now it’s about 8-10 years of waiting list... but if you want to be on this list you must be someone. That’s why my boss bought one 5711 at 55k on gray market instead of 30. I understood when I looked at this beauty for real. It’s the grail watch without doubt.
Having worn both for a while I eventually settled on an AP 26331 (it’s basically a jumbo with a chronograph). Don’t get my wrong the 57xx series is fantastic but to me it really falls behind on the bracelet. Patek went back to using pins in the links not screws and that to me isn’t good enough on a watch like this. The Royal Oak bracelet hugs your wrist do damn well. The 5712 may still be my grail watch and I was thinking about it......until I tried a Lange Zeitwerk. I think that might be my ultimate unicorn and I won’t have to wait years for it. The reality is, with a significant sales history I can get on a 5712 list but not on a 5711 without owning a notable Patek already
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite watch channels. With all those complications, I have to say, PP > AP but AP's case back is outstanding. Great review!
Both come with really excellent boxes but Patek’s box and papers are just have an even more luxurious feel. This is why Patek is #1 and any serious collector will tell you that it doesn’t get better than Patek. Even someone like Mr. Biver who worked for AP, helped restart Blancpain and today runs Hublot is most proud of his vintage Patek collection.
Both are winners for me but if it has to come down to making a choice it had to be the AP for being original and of course the bracelet is the best in the industry....
I am aware of it...AP Royal Oak was introduced in 1972 Basel world and Nautilus was introduced in 1976, four years after AP...I like them both but just feel that the AP was the one that introduced the design with Gerald Genta...I still love them both....
For me it's like comparing a Ferrari (the PP) with a high-end Mercedes (the AP). Yes, my first tendency is to go for the Ferrari, but the Mercedes would be much more practical day-to-day, less of a hassle to maintain, less expensive to service
You have an awesome collection! Beautifull all time classic timepieces. But the prices for ap and pp are just out of this world. Dont get me wrong, those are realy nice watches but are they realy worth 30k? I mean they might cost .5 to 1k to produce. But dont get me wrong. A realy beautifull collection of classics👍🏻
Jumbo is my all time favourite,period.I don't even look at nautilus,although I know the importance of the watch and the army of admirers.First thing that puts me off is the bracelet.I can not stand polished and brushed parts together,and that goes also for the new rolex two tone bracelets,although I think the oyster is a fantastic bracelet.Nautilus is a far from bad or ugly watch,it is just Jumbo wins in my eyes,all the way.Great review of two such an iconic pieces.
Greetings,these are the two best watch brands in the world but the cleanliness of the AUDEMARS PIGUET gives me what I love to see time on a watch that wonders ,thank you for this video ,greetings from Italy bye ...
You can tell more finishing went into the PP verses the AP. That kind of distinguishes the two watches. AP for impressing folks at the upscale bar. The PP for impressing the other gentleman on the yacht.
Great video, it’s interesting that up close I’d choose the AP, I just think from every angle it looks better, but totally appreciate the PP quality/rarity
Tough question, but yes is probably agree. I have the rose gold 41mm Royal Oak, and I just don’t think much beats that piece. Interestingly I’m also going to buy the white dial 5711.....great minds !
For me is ap then patek Oh and yesterday was the first ever time I saw a ap but a person was wearing it so don't think I saw it in a jewlery store or something
Recently acquired my 15400 blue dial and I will say the Royal oak bracelet is by far the best bracelet. Much better then the Nautilus bracelet which I felt was so thin and light. But I love the case height of my 5711.
the 5712 is the winner for me and the bracelet is much more comfortable and has a higher waterproof capabilities, more complicated... much more beautiful also
I know that Patek is amazing and beautiful in its own right, but something kept making me more attracted to that AP. Regardless both beautiful watches!
The PP dial is somewhat unbalanced.. they should have played with the position of the subdials into a 3-6-9 position configuration and it would be perfect
It's good to reward ourselves sometimes . While I'm not one to spend on high-end watch (I spend too much money on travel, lol), I can appreciate your gorgeous and timeless watch. I love how it's a symbol of all your hard work.And i choose NKUWAN every time honestly
I wouldn’t even aspire to owning any of these, but my choice is the AP. As others have mentioned, the bracelet makes up for the whole watch. Amazing how you captured the play with the light.
Love them both! I love both my 5711 and 15400. The bracelet on the 15400 is much better than nautilus. Love your videos always looking forward to them!!!
I had an AP Royal Oak about 4 years ago .. and it just didn't click.. sold it for a small loss and got two more Rolexes instead (shrug) .. it was nice, but .. I don't know.. was just odd looking and feeling and I didn't like the clasp after wearing it for a few weeks.. I think it was around .. 20k .. but the box was different, wooden lacquered, and the manual/papers were a larger book if I recall.. Anyways.. that PP looks nicer IMO ..
I like the PP chain/bracelet and love the AP dial. Has anyone thought of mixing up luxury watches? Is it even possible? :D Then again the AP chain matches the dial so I'll give it to AP as well. I like how the iced out APs look. Does anyone even wear these watches outside or they are just for display as a collection?
I’m still catching up on your vids as I’ve only recently discovered and subscribed to your channel, I like the matter of fact way you present and review really great watches and this review exemplifies that! Thanks for sharing.
This is a wonderful video to watch. I want to ask you for some advice on cleaning the Royal Oak Chronograph and the 5711 because I live in a humid and hot country and constantly sweating during daytime wear, so I hope to clean the watches regularly. Can I ask how often can I clean these 2 watch’s, and how to clean it properly without damaging the watches. Thank you
I think your new purchase should be a Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chronograph. You have to unite the holy trinity, and its a gorgeous watch and it comes with a no tools quick release bracelet plus a leather and a rubber strap
What I dislike at both, there is no “on the fly” adjustment on the bracelets. So for me is Rolex the more practical choice. On my glidelock I use 3 positions during the day.
AP is sportier and PP is classier. The best is to have both. I love both. But the way I dress and the way I live my life, AP is better for me. Furthermore, the way PP increased the size to 41mm with 5811/1G, today I prefer by far 16202. It has a better movement and nothing will ever beat size 39mm.
James Franko Lmao yeah ok then Mummy and daddy’s bank account help on that one? Lmao the worst part about this all is the fact u like your own comments freak
AP is a cool watch-design is very industrial futuristic. I might add one to my collection if I have a good year. I've got Seamaster Bond and Bond Chrono, Rolex Air King, Rolex Day Date white gold, a few Seiko's, Casios and others. As said love more budget reviews there isn't that much of a difference in caliber between the dearest and cheapest in my eyes just the design.
The Royal Oak is the original creation, the Nautilus is just an inspiration/copy of the Royal Oak for Patek Philippe. The Royal Oak has more class, look so much better and have more masculinity than the Nautilus. The Nautilus looks like the women's version of the Royal Oak. x) Personally, I really love the lines of the Royal Oak as the Nautilus does me no effect and has absolutely no power of attraction on me. (For me, it's a women's watch) No matter what the experts may think... I don't care! Gerald Genta himself recognized that his most beautiful creation was the Royal Oak... ;) And even historically speaking, the AP has inspired so many creators in the industry while the PP "copy" absolutely not... Only one of them will have marked the history of his imprint. For me, there is absolutely no match...
No Comparison. The Patek Nautilus! Both watches were designed by Gerald Genta and therefore beautiful, but the watchmaking and build design of the Patek is far superior. Resale if you ever decide on a change is much easier and higher on the Patek. I have a Patek Nautiluc Chrono and if i sold it tomorrow it would be more than three times what i paid for it. I have a similar specification AP Royal Oak Offshore and it's resale value is less than when I bought it. Also customer support from Patek is exceptional. I recently took my wife's quartz AP into their official shop in Monaco for a battery change. No luck... They need to send it back to AP for a simple battery change and that will take two months. With this kind of customer service, I will not be buying anymore AP's.
I may be biased, as I own a PP; but, while I greatly respect your AP Jumbo, I love the Nautilus, and even much prefer it’s band. The contrasting polish/satin finish is stunning. Two stellar timepieces.
Naaah... you are biased. This AP bracelet is one of the most beautiful and best built bracelets ever on a watch!
For me AP is better looking, giveawey one of them 😂🤣
LOL that will prob be one of the biggest give away of youtube ever
@@zean233 Ill do youtube in a few years and Im saying only 1 thing... challenge accepted =)
Crrect
20,000$ giveaway basically
going to jeweler bust the AP yeah
I love that AP. If I had more money than I could spend I would definitely buy one. Patek Philippe is nice too but I like the AP much more.
I can’t even afford to watch this video
One day bro, start saving up 🙏🏽
ASVP NAZ That’s boss mentality right there🔥
Hahahah
Everyone can achive anything, focus on what you can really do, have passion for it and master it.
💀
Bruh, The AP is Different. Its just too cool.
"going to jeweler bust the AP yeah"
Offset _TM Going to the jeweller and fuck up my AP yeah diamonds look horrible just leave it as it is lmao
@@offset_tm4486 sliding on water like a jetski yeah (one year later, but still got that reference)
No no no im loyal to patek gang 👌🔥
@@achannelhere7276 or you can be a real baller and get frosted white gold skeleton AP with rainbow Bezel
I prefer the AP, but I certainy wouldn't turn away the PP, because it's a PP.
I see you like PP's
Leon Guyot I, myself am also a fan of PP’s
Not all PPs are made equal though
Ha! GAAAYYYYYY!!!
He's like his PP!
Have always preferred wearing the Audemars however more recently I decided to buy a Patek, got to say it but I prefer the Patek. Not sure if it’s because the watch has gained popularity in the last few years but I got allot of complements when I was wearing it. Definitely worth a buy.

Patek is class,simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
Even though the ap is more simple
Buying one of the most expensive watch which only tells time is simplicity? People don't really understand this quote...
Im talking about the design compared to the AP
no, it's not. it's just an overpriced gadget for people who have more money than they know what to do with. you're paying for the name and perceived status, nothing more.
I think the ap looks more simple tbh
That's a difficult pick. The PP would just take for me. Your collection to be honest is what I would like to achieve. There isn't one watch I wouldn't love to have. Your a lucky (I'm sure deserved) man. Cracking reviews keep it up
and you sir, are a very humble person :)
I've never been very interested in either of these watches... but this video makes them both look so beautiful.
The name AP itself manifests ...Awesome Product 👍🏻
I love these both equally. Both are stunning, and I hope to add both to my collection in the near future.
I've watched hundreds of watch videos. This is the first comparison I've seen of Patek and a Royal side by side. Marvelous 👏.
As much as i enjoy the nautilus and how it fits on my wrist, i am not a fan of the dial layout of this particular model so I would go with the much simpler ap for this head to head..
My ideal choice between the two brands with models that have similar functions, would be the 26574

regardless, excellent acquisitions and videos as always.
Couldnt agreed more

Personally I would go with Patek as it can be both sporty and classic. I see you have reviewed more Patek than AP so guessing you're on the same side as me ;)
Also can you review A. Lange & Söhne? :D
Both fantastic pieces. I can only dream of one day owning such an amazing watch.
Regardless of price and prestige, I just like the design and finish of the AP more.
Prices actually more or less the same. You would also pay at least an additional 9-10.000 for moonphase complications. Personally I think the most beatiful Royal Oak and Nautilus are the original ones without the complications. They simply distract the lines in the original design
Great comparison. The bracelets on both really do look exquisite. I'm a bracelet fan...
I personally would prefer 5711 to 5712, but from the author's perspective, it makes sense to choose 5712. Both AP and Patek are gorgeous. True icons. Hope to have one someday.

Chances are I wouldn't survive the waiting list.
Stainless Steel I’ll give you a tip, fly all the way to Macau and visit an AP guarantee they have it.
*now I see why people love watches,the creativity and effort that goes into making one is astonishing...*
Thank you
Having worn both for a while I eventually settled on an AP 26331 (it’s basically a jumbo with a chronograph). Don’t get my wrong the 57xx series is fantastic but to me it really falls behind on the bracelet.

So you say patek is better because of the box
Perfect, very tastefully chosen watches to review. I love both of them
The Patek wins it for me. It's just pure class without looking as bulky as the AP, yet they weigh the same
This guy collects expensive as watches and here I’m with my Pokémon cards collections lmfao
There're very expensive ones out there.
Oof take this as a wake up call, grow up bro!
Both are winners for me but if it has to come down to making a choice it had to be the AP for being original and of course the bracelet is the best in the industry....

The first time I saw an AP I didn't like the wristband at first but now I love it and is one of the reason why I want to buy one !
.nautilus with royal oak bracelet would be ultimate.
☝️finally someone else agrees
DIal, hands = PP
Movement, backcase = PP
Bracelet = AP
Bezel = AP
The AP is just a work of art. I love that watch.
With these 2 timepieces it’s not a matter of which is better. It’s about which one appeals to you more.
AP looks more masculine
No,
Fuck yes
Greg M but the PP really melts down onto the hand...it may not look great simply sitting on a table...but it looks beautiful on the wrist
Oh yes oh no
Fun fact: the nautilus was originally designed for women. :D
Heavy hitting collection man, congrats!
Patek has better packaging, but AP looks better (in my opinion)
This could've been a really long video. Thanks for making it simple!
Those are two of the best looking watches out there! Thanks for the review.
Both are extremely beautiful! If i coult chose...i´m more in love with the Nautilus.
For me it's like comparing a Ferrari (the PP) with a high-end Mercedes (the AP).
Yes, my first tendency is to go for the Ferrari, but the Mercedes would be much more practical day-to-day, less of a hassle to maintain, less expensive to service
You have an awesome collection! Beautifull all time classic timepieces. But the prices for ap and pp are just out of this world. Dont get me wrong, those are realy nice watches but are they realy worth 30k? I mean they might cost .5 to 1k to produce. But dont get me wrong. A realy beautifull collection of classics👍🏻
It’s like the difference of going shopping at a mall or getting haute couture. There is no comparison. It’s not the “what” of it, it’s the “how”.
Jumbo is my all time favourite,period.I don't even look at nautilus,although I know the importance of the watch and the army of admirers.First thing that puts me off is the bracelet.I can not stand polished and brushed parts together,and that goes also for the new rolex two tone bracelets,although I think the oyster is a fantastic bracelet.Nautilus is a far from bad or ugly watch,it is just Jumbo wins in my eyes,all the way.Great review of two such an iconic pieces.
Gotta go with the AP, so much more versatile and smoother.
Greetings,these are the two best watch brands in the world but the cleanliness of the AUDEMARS PIGUET gives me what I love to see time on a watch that wonders ,thank you for this video ,greetings from Italy bye ...

Great video, it’s interesting that up close I’d choose the AP, I just think from every angle it looks better, but totally appreciate the PP quality/rarity
What if they were as attainable and priced the same? Then what would you choose ? I’d choose the AP for sure!
Tough question, but yes is probably agree. I have the rose gold 41mm Royal Oak, and I just don’t think much beats that piece. Interestingly I’m also going to buy the white dial 5711.....great minds !
For me is ap then patek
Oh and yesterday was the first ever time I saw a ap but a person was wearing it so don't think I saw it in a jewlery store or something

Patek Philippe my favourite watches, but i think actually this design of Audemars Piguet looking more better, great watches! good video!
Both are magnificent, If I have to choose one, I'd go for the AP
The Jumbo certainly has presence but that 5712 is just something else!
The 5712 is my dream watch, but in general I prefer AP, but that 5712 🤩
Fantastic video, explanation, and of course watches. Just not sure you had to wear them in mid werewolf transformation...
the 5712 is the winner for me and the bracelet is much more comfortable and has a higher waterproof capabilities, more complicated... much more beautiful also
I know that Patek is amazing and beautiful in its own right, but something kept making me more attracted to that AP. Regardless both beautiful watches!
Would like to see the Tissot PRX 35mm watch compared to the Nautilus 5712.
5712 is a grail, my dream watch, I’ve never liked the 5711 or any AP’s really!
I prefer the Girard Perregaux Laureato over the PP and AP honestly. However i insist on stating you have a great two piece combo right there, whowww
I'll Preper Patek , Nkt because Of its Look But Because Of Its Beautful History from 16s And A Very Good Market Value and Reputation
How have I missed this video yesterday :(
Love it as usual! (haven't actually watched the video yet but i'm sure i'll love it)
Edit: Yep, I was right.
The PP dial is somewhat unbalanced.. they should have played with the position of the subdials into a 3-6-9 position configuration and it would be perfect
It's good to reward ourselves sometimes . While I'm not one to spend on high-end watch (I spend too much money on travel, lol), I can appreciate your gorgeous and timeless watch. I love how it's a symbol of all your hard work.And i choose NKUWAN every time honestly

Thanks that’s a wonderful presentation and I love the way you do your videos. They’re master pieces.
Love them both! I love both my 5711 and 15400. The bracelet on the 15400 is much better than nautilus. Love your videos always looking forward to them!!!
My first encounter of your channel. I'm considering my first purchase and I have to say the AP really catches my eyes.
The 5712 is my grail.
Both of those watches are exquisite.
I had an AP Royal Oak about 4 years ago .. and it just didn't click.. sold it for a small loss and got two more Rolexes instead (shrug) .. it was nice, but .. I don't know.. was just odd looking and feeling and I didn't like the clasp after wearing it for a few weeks.. I think it was around .. 20k .. but the box was different, wooden lacquered, and the manual/papers were a larger book if I recall.. Anyways.. that PP looks nicer IMO ..

Can I ask how often can I clean these 2 watch’s, and how to clean it properly without damaging the watches.
Thank you
yea me too, he did a clean video of Rolex but not more precious brushed steel of ap and pp
Thanksgiving..first time somebody shows the real weight betwen models...
That's a hitnail pecept!
Again Thanks You
The AP strap is perfect !
I think your new purchase should be a Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chronograph. You have to unite the holy trinity, and its a gorgeous watch and it comes with a no tools quick release bracelet plus a leather and a rubber strap
I really enjoy watching your videos, i'm a watch enthusiast but your videos are so peaceful, keep the good work, would love to see videos more often
Both are stunning
Why am I watching this video? I will never have such a watch in my life.))))))
Both are astonishing beautiful!
What I dislike at both, there is no “on the fly” adjustment on the bracelets. So for me is Rolex the more practical choice. On my glidelock I use 3 positions during the day.

Can you review the Cartier Santos? Cheers.
James Franko Cartier’s are not nice but you don’t own a high end watch your self to shut your mouth please
James Franko Lmao yeah ok then Mummy and daddy’s bank account help on that one? Lmao the worst part about this all is the fact u like your own comments freak
James Franko Lmao are u even British? 😭😭😭😭😭
The Patek with the AP bracelet would be tremendous.
Patek is in a class of its own...I started with Rolex but as I matured I appreciated the marvel that’s Patek.
AP is a cool watch-design is very industrial futuristic. I might add one to my collection if I have a good year. I've got Seamaster Bond and Bond Chrono, Rolex Air King, Rolex Day Date white gold, a few Seiko's, Casios and others. As said love more budget reviews there isn't that much of a difference in caliber between the dearest and cheapest in my eyes just the design.
Both stunning watches!! I'm just puzzled as to why AP kept the second hand off this model. I would miss that mesmerizing sweep.
Roots Pablow no screw down crown either makes no sense
What’s the retail vs market price for both those watches ? Would be nice to see a video with such details
The Royal Oak is the original creation, the Nautilus is just an inspiration/copy of the Royal Oak for Patek Philippe.
The Royal Oak has more class, look so much better and have more masculinity than the Nautilus.
The Nautilus looks like the women's version of the Royal Oak.
x)
Personally, I really love the lines of the Royal Oak as the Nautilus does me no effect and has absolutely no power of attraction on me.
(For me, it's a women's watch)
No matter what the experts may think... I don't care!
Gerald Genta himself recognized that his most beautiful creation was the Royal Oak... ;)
And even historically speaking, the AP has inspired so many creators in the industry while the PP "copy" absolutely not... Only one of them will have marked the history of his imprint.
For me, there is absolutely no match...
Beautiful, which one you wear most?
Audemars has the best finish i have ever seen on a watch.
Nice review!. .looking forward to see your Vacheron Constantin to complete your Holy Trinity.
Cheers!
My two favorite watches up close. Thank you.
No Comparison. The Patek Nautilus! Both watches were designed by Gerald Genta and therefore beautiful, but the watchmaking and build design of the Patek is far superior. Resale if you ever decide on a change is much easier and higher on the Patek. I have a Patek Nautiluc Chrono and if i sold it tomorrow it would be more than three times what i paid for it. I have a similar specification AP Royal Oak Offshore and it's resale value is less than when I bought it. Also customer support from Patek is exceptional. I recently took my wife's quartz AP into their official shop in Monaco for a battery change. No luck... They need to send it back to AP for a simple battery change and that will take two months. With this kind of customer service, I will not be buying anymore AP's.
I love both of them. My dream watch.
