It is a very hard choice! I know Patek has great 2nd hand value and doesnt really depreciate. The AP RO Skeleton is hard to find thou and may do alright in the secondary market. I could only find 1 used one and the guy is trying to sell it for more than I believe I can get a new one discounted.

Super hard choice...wouldnt like to change with you...oh wait...I would!

Like many said before the watches are very different with the PP being very classy and neutral and the AP being a bit insane but SUPER COOL. Depends on what you are after...if you take the AP I can sell you the PP for 50$...they are so cheap over here...I wonder why haha

I dont think the AP Skeleton would hold its value, a better choice would be saving up for a used Perpetual Calander AP Royal Oak.

Nautilus vs Royal Oak is too general a question to get a really good informed answer.

The answer is that both are iconic lines. All else equal, I prefer the Royal Oak design, but there are some fantastic Nautilus models and some truly awful Royal Oaks.

Is your question specifically 15305 vs 5711? Get the 15305 without a second thought.

They were just articles I thought were a interesting read. But basically comparing 15202 to Nautilus 5711 / Jumbo vs Jumbo


For me I am deciding between AP RO Skeleton15305 vs Nautilus 5711

As I said, 15305 vs 5711 is a no-brainer. 15305 vs 5712 a bit more interesting but I'd still go 15305. 15202 vs 5711 is a toss-up for me.
