I think everything about the nautilus is great, the bracelet, case etc. except for the damn dial. It looks like something a child would glue together on a paper. I have never seen a dial so plain/ugly in a luxury watch like this one. The indices look terrible/ background look awful! How do you guys feel about the dial?

    I dislike this dial but there are plenty of beautiful Nautilus dials like that on the 5711/1r. I love how the slim Nautilus references (5711 and 5712) wear on the wrist – nothing else like it!

    Of all of the Patek watches this is the absolute last one I would buy.

    I always associate Patek with perfection in the finishing department and this has the least visible finishing of all of their watches.

    I don’t mind the dial, I have always assumed the whole watch was inspired by the Jules Verne 20,000 leagues submarine of the same name?

    Thus the dial looks like the deck of a boat and the markers like indicators on a control panel of some sort (maybe?).

    Either way, for me I wouldn’t buy it. Ugly watch in my opinion but I think the 70’s integrated bracelet designs were all ugly. They seem to be “in” though now so I’ll expect more companies to make more watches that look similar.

      I agree. And I admire that they have kept their heritage and didn’t change for modern styles. And I really like their perpetual calendar chronograph.

    if there is no “patek philippe” text, this watch worth nothing imo.

      But you need to let the world know you got a lambo on your wrist!
