Jenjames offers a candid, owner's perspective on the Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 5980/1R, providing invaluable insights for potential buyers. This review, grounded in personal experience, delves into the nuances of design, quality, and wearability, making it a crucial resource for collectors considering this iconic reference.
The Patek Philippe reference 5711/1A-011, part of the Complications collection, is distinguished by its white dial, offering a different aesthetic compared to other dial variations within the 5711 series. This particular configuration provides a clean and legible presentation, appealing to collectors who prefer a more understated yet refined look. It represents a specific iteration of a well-known Patek Philippe model, recognized for its integrated design.
The watch features a 40mm stainless steel case, housing the self-winding Caliber 26-330 SC movement. This movement provides a power reserve of 45 hours. The case is fitted with a sapphire crystal, contributing to its water resistance of 120 meters. The fixed bezel and integrated bracelet are characteristic elements of its construction.
This reference appeals to collectors interested in the evolution of Patek Philippe's offerings, particularly those seeking specific dial colors within established model lines. Its production run from 2019 to 2021 marks it as a relatively recent, yet now discontinued, variant. The watch's specifications align with Patek Philippe's standards for mechanical timepieces.
It is always helpful for those who are considering a Watch to read the owners' impressions on the same timekeeper. Bravo! Best, Nicolas.
... thanks for sharing your impressions. About the bezel being a scratch magnet, i find the polished links of the bracelet being so easy to scratch. But with time, hopefully a soft patina, it should be ok and give it some caracter.
Thanks a lot for the feedback, it is always interesting to hear. Cheers.
even when it is quite addictive :-) Oliver
Congrats on the 1R! the clasp it will loosen up over time, but it is not the easiest clasp to open bracelet one big downside tho, especialy for the $$$ a PP costs, no 'winter'/'summer' setting possibility like the Rolex Easylink / Glidelock. How is it possible that brands like PP and AP can't figure something similar out? Indeed the dial ticks every box. Perfectly balanced.
Arie... Thank you very much for highlighting the lack of "easylink" design by Rolex... I totally agree with your comment that it would be so much more convenient... Now that the PP Nautilus no longer comes with screws for the bracelet adjustment, it is even more technically challenging for me to do any sort of adjustment so it will always be a trip back to the boutique. The plus point thou is a super solid link and no worries of lose screws... Btw... Nice White 5980! Looks very sober and clean!
