Patek Philippe

Hi i'm new to this site. I'm a huge fan of Patek and own a few gold models but would like to purchase a steel one as well. I'm debating between a blue dial 5980 or black dial 5980. Please let me know your thoughts.

Hi, for me personally of course the classic blue dial or the 5980 R Best Soomi...  

Soomi, The watch looks great on your wrist thanks for the pic. My dealer only has a blue one in stock and I want to wait and see a black dial first hand as well. The blue dial is beautiful of course but worth waiting a month to make the right choice.

patek.watchprosite.com 0 Personally I'd take the black and PP ended with the black too (IIRC) while most preferred Blue. Best, Goh

Thank you for remembering.... I did end up buying the black one... I thought that it was a more balanced dial with the all red chrono marker and the white on black date which matches better the dial..... However both are beautiful and no matter which oe y... 

I have it. More balanced

Blue. No contest. Cheers Morgan...

although a cool, probably MORE sporty watch than blue... I much prefer the blue... completely subjective question. No bad choice here!

But having had another look at some of the photos of both the blue & the black dial 5980. My choice would be for the black dial. My reasons as already stated, I like the white on the black for the date, the red hand on the chronograph appears more leg...
