In this insightful post, WatchProSite contributor penfriend shares a firsthand account of visiting an authorized dealer to explore several new Patek Philippe references. His detailed impressions of the 6159G, the green Cubitus, and the new 5990 offer valuable perspectives for collectors considering these models. Penfriend's candid assessment highlights the importance of trying on watches in person, as his expectations for certain references were significantly altered by the physical experience.

To see the 6159G and I was rather underwhelmed. It wears small and with my eyesight I wasn’t able to read any of the numerals nor could I really see much of the calibre through the dial. I really thought this would be an addition this year but presumably I will decline.

The green cubitus is ok on my wrist but I am still struggling with the shape.

And the 5990 is a monster compared to my regular 5990. It wasn’t spoken for and I could have left the boutique with it - but I cannot imagine a single occasion to wear it outside of the house…

So my wife seems to be the winner as she will go for the new blue 7010G…. Lucky her 😅












About the Patek Philippe Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph Ref. 5990

Patek Philippe Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph Reference 5990

The reference 5990 represents Patek Philippe's combination of travel time and chronograph functions within the Nautilus collection. This stainless steel variant features a blue dial configuration, positioning it as a sports complication piece within the brand's portfolio during its 2014-2018 production period.

The 40.5mm stainless steel case houses the automatic caliber CH 28-520 C FUS movement, delivering 45-55 hours of power reserve. Technical specifications include sapphire crystal protection, 120-meter water resistance, and a smooth bezel design. The watch is completed with a stainless steel bracelet matching the case material.

This reference appeals to collectors seeking dual complications in a steel sports watch format. The blue dial variant offers color distinction within the 5990 series, while the four-year production window establishes its position as a limited-period offering. The combination of travel time and chronograph functions targets users requiring both timing and dual time zone capabilities.

ALS is pictured below, might be easier for you to read. Love the big date, especially if you have a desk job or forced to do business paperwork.

But, as you say, it’s not likely to be a daily wearer! Congratulations to your wife on her new watch. All the best, Jon

with a growing collection it seems to get harder every year to find something that fills a gap....

indeed incredible quality of the gems as well as the setting itself... I could see myself with a 5711/p-113 at most
