Like/dislikes for a patek 5976-1g
Hi, I am thinking about getting this watch. Pricey at around 145k. Would really like to get the opinions from this esteemed group. What\'s good, bad, why would you buy this, why not. I truly appreciate your input. George
Split opinion here.
For me: Pros: currently the only 5976 available, the only nautilus with a bigger case and I like the proportions, nice dial color Cons: stones instead of indexes and the engraving on the dial (even though they are not too loud, so they are still acceptabl...
It is a matter of tastes !
Obviously the title says it all ! IMHO though here is a list of things I don't like in this watch: - The dial with the "anniversary" inscription that (to me) alters the overall balance - The diamond indexes - The chronograph movement is thicker than the 2...
For that kind of money, I would choose something different.
Perhaps a manual chrono/perp model. Aris
It is a very interesting model that I see people liking more and more
The diamond-set markers surprised at the beginning because it was new and recalling the 1980's-1990's in some Western countries, but they are taking better and better their place in these watches (5976, 5711P and 5170P or 5396R). Patek Philippe has always...
Please keep the input coming
I do like the watch, don't need the wg/diamonds. If this came in SS would get it, or if the 5990 had a blue dial. Appreciate the continued thoughts on this watch. I know at the end of the day I need to choose. Big choice and your thoughts help. George
Go visit Chrono24 – there you’ll find a number of pre-owned/NOS discontinued steel 5980s.
Why spend $145K when you can spend $40K, and not have to bother with diamond markers or an embossed dial that many can’t stand the thought or sight of.
Thanks
I appreciate all of your input. Mark, understand your guidance about $s on the site. I have a lot to think about. If I do proceed I will post pix George
Nautilus
Hi guys I had similar concerns about the 5976g until I saw and felt it . It's much nicer then I though . Attached are a few pics I took with it . Hoping to get my one before the end of the year . ...
Hi George. My view is similar to that of Mark.
Admittedly, I wasn't initially convinced I'd not find fault with the piece - the diamonds and inscription had me most worried. However, as a Nautilus collector in particular there was enough about the watch to got me excited - size, tone (both blue face a...
Thats a question of taste 😋
I love Patek watches but wouldn't buy any of the Nautilus range as i don't like the style of the watch. But i see that they are very popular in this forum. But thats the good think different products for different tastes 😃
