Superb !...
It will be the Paul Newman of the future.
Thank you, FabR! Yes, it is very rare - it is a pity that Patek stopped the production of the steel version.
So it will remain a dream for the most of Patek fans.
Thank you, Maltie!
In public, the 5980 flies mostly below the radar - people don‘t recognize the rarity and the exceptionality.
The 5980 is very comfortable to wear, thanks to the very smooth workmanship of the bracelet.
You can only compare it with a Grand Seiko bracelet (it‘s true!). The Oyster bracelet gives a heavy-duty-impression, which is probably intended by the maker. In my opinion the RO bracelet wears much more stiffer.
Beautiful watch. Love that dial, looks great.
Was the date about to change? The 10 looks misaligned. Vte
Beautiful patek !
I have not worn mine since 2016 and it’s been a safe queen and have steadily appreciated in value . ...
This is stunning watch especially in black dial with matching dark date wheel
Mine also still in NOS condition and will find special occasion to wear it.
Thank you, Horology75!
If you will you can wear it everyday. Concerning the value it does not matter a lot whether the watch is worn or not - the difference might be around € 5.000,00. I think that the delight of wearing this watch everyday is more worth than this small amount ...
100%
I wear mine all the time and enjoy every minute... superb regular wear this one!
My problem is that I live in a hostile place where mugging and theft is rampant and to wear a 100k watch on daily basis is not a great idea. I can only enjoy it in my travels to destination like Dubai, Singapore or Switzerland ...
Even if it is insured a replacement would not be with the name on my warranty or perhaps a blk dial one at all.
A great piece!
By far my favorite Nautilus! Like Cat Scarlet said; might be the next Paul Newman. Best, H
