5976 different angle shots (pics heavy!)
By: CaptainCrunch : January 14th, 2017-02:58
So as promised, here are a few more shots of the 5976 under different light angles. The first thing I noticed is how much more heft this one has got compared to the other SS nautiluses, even to a 5990. The diamond batons dance playfully under different li...
Stunning pictures.
By: russell996 : January 14th, 2017-04:06
I love the way the dial changes colour and the diamonds add something a little special. Let us know what the AD says, they certainly look like they could be marks from the piece being worn and the nature of them to me suggests it didn\'t leave the factory...
This is a really serious issue.
By: Chimaera : January 14th, 2017-04:27
I\'m sorry for your experience, but this has wide implications and you may choose to raise this with PP direct because, either way, there is a reputation killing problem here. Either: (I) PP\'s vaunted QC processes have fallen short and require urgent att...
Hi Chimera. Those are good points I would bring up with the AD.
By: CaptainCrunch : January 14th, 2017-04:42
Certainly very disappointing and disturbing the way they treat a good customer this way. I have never had such problems before and there is no way I would damage a watch this way. It has got even more scratches than both my year old Nautiluses. I would se...
Totally unacceptable !!!!
By: Azzsi : January 16th, 2017-14:20
AD should have cut the blue security seal of the box carton box in front of you. Then the vacuumed sealed plastic in front to you as well. Seems to me the AD and not PP should be held accountable for the scratches. I am very sorry to hear this happens. Ho...
I am not sure of the packaging either
By: jonrus : January 16th, 2017-19:43
I have seen the packaging on the watch above, but not so sure about the packaging below. Perhaps our moderator can bring some input.
Definitely was resealed
By: Azzsi : January 17th, 2017-06:07
I would call out by name this AD so other forum members could beware of their practices. Was it an actual Patek AD or a secondary dealer. Shame on them if it was an actual Patek AD and Geneva should be advised!
You're right tobe suspicious
By: Mark in Paris : January 17th, 2017-06:22
I think that now this has to be dealt between you, your AD and I think the brand's headquarters in Geneva (you directly). Once it is done, you'll have the real positioning of everybody and be able to know what has happened (maybe) but at least know how yo...
The blue dials are wonderful
By: Mark in Paris : January 14th, 2017-04:23
This is the kind of dial I love from Patek (though not attracted that much by the other blue ones aside from the Nautilus collection). Thanks for sharing, I think we are lucky to see as many here For your problem, as I mentionned in the other post, it is ...
Something is funny...
By: dr.kol : January 14th, 2017-05:01
First of all, I am sorry to hear about your problem. An AD is not allowed to sell the watch in the factory packing. They are supposed to open the watch in the shop and inspect it. Please also note that any AD having service facilities can also "re-seal" a...
Well that still wouldn't explain all the scratches
By: CaptainCrunch : January 14th, 2017-05:30
For a 100k watch I think they should have disclosed that information. I never bought a watch with this condition ever doc. Not even for my Casio. I would update what they say either way.
Well observed
By: Chimaera : January 14th, 2017-05:40
From Kari, as ever. The key here is to understand precisely the trajectory of the watch - something has obviously gone wrong somewhere and I feel sure that PP will be as eager to ascertain the facts as you are. Best of luck.
I think so too Gordon.
By: CaptainCrunch : January 14th, 2017-07:20
I expect a reply in good faith on a resolution from them, or expect a very honest review from me all over internet and BBB.
I couldn't agree more. I returned my 5980/1A four times...
By: 5980 : June 12th, 2017-17:18
...after unwrapping due to obvious cosmetic or mechanical problems. Four different NiB pieces before receiving an example which met my (admittedly higher than average) standards. My AD was extraordinarily helpful, but ultimately PP has to deliver the good...
PP selling sealed watches
By: watch-er : January 14th, 2017-16:00
is nutty to me. Never accept a watch you cannot inspect fully before buying. Buying something sealed makes no sense at all. You would never buy anything else mechanical without checking it out so why buy a watch without kicking the tires.
Does the certificate have your name and address printed on it?
By: jonrus : January 14th, 2017-16:33
You are one of the earliest poster to receive this watch. Just wondering if the watch sold to you is not a floor model for AD to see or show their customers early on about the anniversary models. If it is, it may still be new and unsold, but not scratchle...
I suspect this to be the case
By: jonrus : January 15th, 2017-18:21
I recall that you posted a picture of the watch from your AD very early, before anyone had seen the watch in person. I remember thinking that this AD must be a very high volume one to have an anniversary watch on display and sell to a customer. That\'s wh...
Stunning
By: brook : January 14th, 2017-18:03
its really beautiful. Still waiting anxiously for my 5976 to come in.
Bet this was a show piece
By: Patekphilippecollector : January 16th, 2017-08:04
Temptation for 2 months in the safe? No ways everyone in the AD has been shown and handled the watch I think

Excellent job with your pictures! I hope you have daily enjoyment with it!
From an AD's perspective...
By: watchme : January 21st, 2017-06:52
it sounds like the watch was opened, shown (at least - if not actually tried on and worn), then re-sealed. I would DEFINITELY bring it up with the AD first, and if no response, then with PP, directly. -Dean
Lovely piece
By: Speedshift1 : January 27th, 2017-03:31
Sorry to hear about the scratches but congratulations on getting this fine piece. Would love to get my hand on one.
Sorry you have this issue
By: nice2guy : January 27th, 2017-10:03
Thanks for sharing your experiences. It's obvious you have not been treated fairly. And for a company that has been around so long and charges premiums, this should never happen. But I can't wait to hear their explanation.
Patek
By: uaewatchguy : June 12th, 2017-17:35
Sorry to hear about your issue I'm sure the AD and Patek will resolve it. Thanks for the great comparison pics i now have an idea of the actual size compared to others pieces. Having several Nautilus models which fit me perfectly I can see this won't work...

What's wrong with your baby fingernails
Just got my Patek 5976
By: GreatPilot@me.com : June 17th, 2017-19:14
Hello all, I'm pretty new to this forum but wanted to comment on the new 40th anniversary I just received. It wears great on the wrist and I have maybe a medium size wrist. The weight is substantial but it wears evenly on your wrist and fits wonderfully. ...
