Patek Philippe

Help needed 5980 or 5726?

I've currently saved up enough to buy my first patek and being a fan of the Nautilus range I'm currently considering the 5980 and the 5726.

Having tried both of them on I am currently leaning towards the 5980..... any suggestions on which one i should go for?

Which watch will be "better value" given that i can acquire them for roughly the same price (5980 is 2nd hand)

Thanks

personally for me its the 5980

because of the beautiful blue dial and chrono function. Ive seen the 5726 in the flesh and probably the main thing i like about this piece is that its come with a leather strap and a rubber one. I think the 5980 is the more sporty piece. Have you seen bot...

Buying a 5726A, I finally went with my gut reaction and bought the equal new 5205G As has been mentioned on numerous occasions at the end of the day the decision is down to the individual and the main reason why I didn't go for it was that at times both t...

I have tried on both of them and wore them for a couple of days each (my friend and uncle who had them lent it to me) Each have their own perks and i have fallen in love with both of them....had i have enough money i would just buy both So I'm just asking...

5726

both are great watches, but i would pick 5726, because i find more purpose in annual calendar rather than chrongraph

I agree. I seldom use a chrongraph - annual calendar would be my choice. [nt]

all the Nautilus watches and finally got the 5980.... A great chrono mechanism that can work continuously without affecting in any way the accuracy of timekeeping... So beauty and accuracy.... I also like the mono subdial..... However the 5726 is also a g...

Of course the chronograph!

Hi, I got both and I love them both. The dial of the 5726 is very balanced and I love the display of day and month. With a metal bracelet it would not be easy to choose... But the chrono is a great watch and very underestimated at the moment. A chrono fro...

Nautilus is a sporty design

By: ivanclai : March 1st, 2011-23:59

so I will go for 5980, I have the 5980 and love it. Nothing against the 5726 but not my cup of tea, I always like Nautilus with metal bracelet. Annual canlendar will go better in a dress watch but I agree that annual calendar is more useful than chrono. B...

i like them both, but sonce u asked me to choose..

By: timlua : March 2nd, 2011-08:21

i would go for the 5980. having the ss bracelet lets me use the watch more often, anywhere,anytime. id save up for a 5726 later.
