Patek Philippe

5980/60G

AD offered me this one by surprise. Had not really asked for it due to the strap when it was launched but he thought I might like it.

It has grown on me over the time spend there - I just wonder how the jeans style will age over time. Does one wear this also in 10 years from now?

Interesting comparison shot as well with the blue cubitus…

I really like the dial here

By: TeutonicCarFan : November 9th, 2024-18:25

I think the strap will wear, can get a factory replacement I’d imagine. In addition an aftermarket option would be nice. Cubitus … hmm Nautilus for sure

Looks like the Cubitus was designed without understanding what makes the Nautilus design good

By: LK : November 9th, 2024-18:28

👍🏻👍🏻

By: MCG (Markus) : November 9th, 2024-20:21

The dial of the Cubitus looks like the designer had a problem with the eye sight…

Nautilus - Gerald Genta = Cubitus

😉

By: hora12reborn : November 9th, 2024-18:47

Gentibus you meant? :)

By: amanico : November 9th, 2024-21:21

No! 😉😉 You can’t include any part of “GENTA” in this name - he is way gone and would not have

By: K-Lo : November 9th, 2024-21:55

Approved of the proportions- well, that is my opinion on the matter anyways. Have you looked at the original proportions of the 1972 Royal Oak lately- now, that’s the bees knees… So I meant —-> Nauty (subtract Genta)=equals this cube thing….

Sign of a soft market?

By: mdg : November 9th, 2024-18:44

Perhaps but Penfriend is a trustworthy collector and longtime watch collector.

By: hora12reborn : November 9th, 2024-18:51

I agree here

By: TeutonicCarFan : November 9th, 2024-19:30

I think a dealer taking care of a great client

And he is more than right!

By: amanico : November 9th, 2024-21:24

thank you so much!

By: penfriend : November 9th, 2024-23:53

Good if so...

By: mdg : November 11th, 2024-03:36

That Nautilus is far more attractive than the Cubitus.

By: AuHavrePro : November 9th, 2024-18:59

Personally, I really love that strap as well. Nice shots, cheers, Filip

Nice problem to have!

By: GWIS : November 9th, 2024-19:12

I thought the Nautilus was supplied with another strap as well? All the best, Jon

yes it does

By: penfriend : November 9th, 2024-23:54

looks more like the strap on the platinum Cubitus

What a nice AD 👏🏻 Big congratulations 🎉

By: Clueless_Collector : November 9th, 2024-19:18

Indeed!!!

By: penfriend : November 9th, 2024-23:54

thank you

I love this dial and if you are not sure about the strap can’t you put a metal bracelet on it?

By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : November 9th, 2024-19:40

Or any other leather strap option from PP!

By: MCG (Markus) : November 9th, 2024-20:23

Yes very true!

By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : November 9th, 2024-21:07

unfortunately not

By: penfriend : November 9th, 2024-23:54

and up to now no suede leather options available

I guess the only option would be after market straps in this case. The dial is really attractive though

By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : November 10th, 2024-13:08

what really bothers me

By: penfriend : November 10th, 2024-15:33

is the price tag compared to my 5712 in full rose gold. here it is only a white gold case with a very difficult strap. and agreed the dial is very nice

I understand what you mean!

By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : November 10th, 2024-17:21

Will you go for it?

By: amanico : November 9th, 2024-21:07

hmm

By: penfriend : November 9th, 2024-23:55

will sleep over it - never do impulse purchases when not anticipated

Bravo!

By: amanico : November 10th, 2024-04:41

will decline, it has not won my heart due to the strap and I don't want to bother finding solutions to match the dial

By: penfriend : November 10th, 2024-15:34

You are right. In case of doubt, there is no doubt... Nor watch. ;)

By: amanico : November 10th, 2024-16:15

Agree with apparent consensus about the Nautilus. Looks great!

By: orahu : November 9th, 2024-22:11

the dial is really nice on this one

By: penfriend : November 9th, 2024-23:56

and I think it needs a strap and not a bracelet

Congratulations on having a strong

By: GLau : November 10th, 2024-05:27

relationship with your AD ! You can always get an after market strap to “spice” up the dial. Best of luck with your selection process and please let us know what you decide. Is the 5822P also an option for you ? What are your thoughts on the Cubitus ? ...

From the Cubitus line I only like the 5822P

By: penfriend : November 10th, 2024-09:47

the color is very rich and deep. However, the watch feels much too big for my 18cm wrist and the direct comparison shot to the Nautilus tells me that I prefer the more organic shape of the Nautilus design. This might change with a smaller case - for the m...
