Patek Philippe 5990/1A-001
This and 5726/1A-014 are probably my favorite Nautilus models. Best, V.
The 5990 is one of the most versatile watches out there, especially for travel fans.
One of my candidates for "only one watch" collection. That and the new Casio BX5600 
Since I love travel watches, this one is close to a perfect watch for me (and nothing will ever be perfect). I know some prefer the thinness of a 5711, but I don't mind at all the extra thickness, for so much extra functionality.
As an owner, I share your appreciation of both models. The 5990 is very complicated yet sporty and versatile. For me there is one slight negative that accompanies that
level of complication, namely the protrusions from the side of the case for the chronograph functions and the travel time element. For me this takes away somewhat from the clean symmetry of the case. This is in contrast to the 5726 which while quite complicated, like the time only 5711 has no protrusions at all. Wondering how you feel about this as a fellow owner of both models? Best, Patekova
Thank you, Patekova.
The pushers for the travel time function don’t bother me at all. I think they are well integrated with the case and don’t impair its symmetry (a really clever solution). The chrono pushers are a different story though. They aren’t bad but I would have preferred the ones of 5980/1A.
5990 is one of my fav as well
got the blue dial and it gets a lot of wrist time. not so much a fan of the 5726, rather prefer my 5712
Thank you.
Before I saw it in real life for the first time, I was very skeptical because of its thickness (on the paper). But I have learned to appreciate the wrist presence and heft of this model. And, as a matter of fact, I do wear steel models more often than precious metal ones.
Your 5990/1A looks 👀
good on your wrist ! Very “pretty” V !👍
Why are 5726 and 5990 your favorite pieces ?”
Stunning tone-on-tone grey!
Wear this beauty in the best of health and have a great weekend!
