The black date wheel is definitely the easy tell between the two and one of the reasons why I prefer the black dial over the blue. Same reason why I prefer the white piano dial 5711/1A over the blue. I just prefer matching date wheels πŸ˜‰

What about the white?

6-0. Grazie, Amico.

Those are some nice shots.

Quite a watch there.

Hi Nicolas, To me, blue dial with 5980 is more ...

 
 By: GLau : March 1st, 2021-05:28
classic and iconic, whereas the charcoal (not black to me) is more powerful πŸ’ͺ ! If I had to choose, blue please.

I remember in 2015-2016 being in 1-2 ADs that actually had almost the entire range of Nautilus available for purchase.

At that time, I had the chance to compare the 5980 to it’s thinner siblings 5711-12. The 5980 definitely feels more like a sports watch. You know it’s there. I would choose the blue for me! The 5711p (non anniversary) would be my pick of the entire range.... 

Black

Greetings, Nice shots. I had a 5980 blue in the past. Awesome piece. Ideal combo: 3700 + 5980 Black! Best

Blue

 
 By: DOCSF : March 1st, 2021-05:46
I regret not getting one, it was still available at an AD in 2018. Went for a 5990 instead.

Black

Wow, outstanding captures!

 
 By: M4 : March 1st, 2021-06:44
A close call for me, but likely the blue would take top spot between those two colors. But I think the white dial might take first prize. They're all good. M4

I am never sure about gray vs blue. Sunlight changes the color.

 
 By: Bill : March 1st, 2021-09:07
Is this blue or black/gray. ...  

Greyish Blue?

 
 By: amanico : March 1st, 2021-10:29

I finally know how to tell the difference between the Blue and black dial 5980.

 
 By: Bill : March 2nd, 2021-09:50
The sun can play tricks. The blue dial 5980 has a white date disc with black numbers. The black dial 5980 has black date wheel with white text. Easy.

Noir for me.

It’s blue/grey

 
 By: gautamak : March 1st, 2021-15:56
Am for blue dial as it can be radiant differently depending on light conditions. One of the Best Patek sports watch which has been enjoying 13th Anniversary with me. Best regards ! Gautam ...

Bleu of course...

 
 By: keks : March 2nd, 2021-03:47
For black actually prefer 5990... White 5980 is top cool as well... ...  

The only Nautilus I even came close to owning.

 
 By: Miles_151 : March 2nd, 2021-09:54
But couldn’t pull the trigger. Yes another unwise decision for my wallet but my collecting morals intact. I do like it the most out of all of them. But went for the 5960p instead. Great shot. Oh blue for me. M.

Or A.... ;)
