Help needed.
Hey guys. Back again trying to choose a watch. Presently own the 5711r the 5960 white dial steel and the 5960 white gold leather strap. Was now thinking between the 5990 or the 5980ar. Any advice and term collectibility wearability etc. thank u
They are both stunning Nautilus...I had a chance to try on the 5980AR last winter (the day I picked up the 5131, so I didn't buy it!), and was impressed, it looks just powerful on the wrist!
Here are just a few pics I took back then...Hope this helps, and good luck with a choice that I'm sure will make you happy either way! ;-) ...
LOL πππ you have a good excuse! πππ

I only have the 5990 and itβs my de facto travel watch. It is very comfortable and well polished. With stainless steel all around, I donβt have to worry about it being scratched here and there. The travel time and chrono functions make it very useful on t...
Iβd say go for the 5990
Both are great pieces, but the 5990 is unique in that itβs the only watch Patek manufactures with that movement - travel time, chrono, date. Most other Patek references use movements from one watch to another, but the 5990 movement solely for the 5990 Tha...
Not a problem in genera
The time pusher is not a problem in general when wearing the watch. However, I did find myself pushing the button occasionally when either handling it off wrist or pushing the chrono.
5990 for me.
I've tried them last week, both being sporty. But I prefer an all steel version for a Nautilus, plus the 5990 had a stronger presence on my wrist. But it's up to you of course. Aris
