Patek 2016 5980 ????
Was checking out this video by Mr Stern and noticed this interesting piece at the end ...
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fJG2PzaFPBI A black or blue date wheel sure would have tied this together... What do you think?

Looks like SS to me with a two tone chrono and it is being shown in discussion on the 2016 collection?

I checked the video. To me it looks like steel with two-tone blue dial. Did you notice that the date window is framed. Perhaps white gold or platinum...
It could be a 40th Anniversary watch. Best, Kari |

It looks like the existing two-tone 5980.

And how do you explain the 2 colors in the dial? The 2 tone has a almost uniform'color dial, here the dial is lighter and the sub dial is darker, nothing to do with this one, for me this is a never seen before Nautilus, I think it will have a huge success, I have no need for a chrono but this is the most stunning one I have ever seen, it kills all the previous ones style wise, just amazing ![]() ![]() ![]() Quote:
![]() Really for me it seems obvious that this is a totally new model, same metal color, the blue seems much totally different than any kind of blue ever seen before in a Nautilus, and especially the sub dial seems black or almost, maybe very dark blue, in any case the contrast between the 2 colors on the dial is much more pronounced than on the TT, and if it is being shown as part of the 2016 discussion shouldn't that ring huge bells? ![]() |

You are completely wrong. Look closer or look to upgrade your glasses. This image above is the existing TT model. |

It's the TT's dial but case does look more SS, actually looks like WG with the warm hue, and yet the bracelet is SS and as Gus says it's in a 2016 vid so could be prophetic.

looking at image on home monitor i will agree it appears to be two tone…
the color on the dial appears silver to me but i have to conclude it is just the lighting… thanks for playing along :) platinum 5980 would be a nice way to celebrate 40 years ![]()

I can confirm it is definitely the TT, I saw it displayed that way at Baselworld.
Despite this attempt at showing off their case finishing by displaying most watches without straps/bracelets, they displayed their various bracelets the same way as shown on the pics in this thread. The goal also to show off the excellent workmanship and finishing of the bracelets. Personally I found the impression of the Baselworld display a bit sullen with such a limited number of straps and bracelets. |

All in all I think this dial would look way tops for either on a full S/S or full rose gold 5980
![]() Hope we see it in the new Nautilus range.. Cheers |

Seriously? It's CLEARLY the TT 5980. The dial always often looks like two different colors in real photos, photoshopped website pics are rarely accurate:
http://zigsow.jp/img.php?w=480&h=480...1378131231.jpg http://ml.watchprosite.com/img/watch...ge.3304823.jpg Just a couple examples of the lighting changing the dial colors in real photos of the watch. |

![]() By the way, I saw it in real and the dial was clearly one color, something just doesn't add up here, of course since again it is a Patek video they could have modified how the watch looks, also a possibility... |

![]() Lol I never said I was right just that for me it was a different one, I saw what lighting can do but never to such point, but it would be awesome if they released a limited edition just like it looks on the video, white metal, matt blue dial and dark blue or black sub dial, even though I am not a chrono fan it looks so awesome I would definitely consider getting one, if they made a special LE for the 40th like this in WG it would have a huge success, PT would be cool but it would weigh a ton... |

Just a guess but I think the 5980 is done. All the new Patek automatic chronos are only 60 minute counters, the 5990, the 5905, the new world time chrono also. They've already done TT, RG on strap and RG on bracelet 5980. Thierry Stern said that Patek will never make a lot of steel watches, it isn't who they are. So why after discontinuing all the steel 5980's in three dial colors would they come out with something as simple as a color change on a new watch thats been discontinued. He also said that if they introduce a new steel Nautilus one would have to go and the least popular is the 5726 so my guess is that it will be discontinued and something new and different will be introduced for the 40th. A skeleton 5711? That would be awesome.

For me with a magnifying glass: It is the old TT 5980.
I accept that lapince may be sharper, smarter and more strategic insider insightful in the true V.I.P. Patek inner-circle. Let us celebrate the brand new 5980 in a few month and send lapince a truly deserved Krug Champagne. Thanks! |

On Wesleyvs treatment of the pic yes it looks like the TT, but the first one posted here it looks like white metal but polished, quite amazed that lighting could change the color and make it totally white like here, but with the new pic which was worked on, now it does look like the TT, so I apologize as just looking at the puc and zooming to the max it looked totally like white metal on my ipad without the slightest shade of RG
