I think there is still a lot of leftover stock of the 5980/1A from last year. An AD I visited today had them in all three dial colors. An AD I visited couple of days ago had two different dial colors in the 5980/1A.

Yes it was Susan. Professional and knowledgeable. Not pushy in any way.

A group pic here of 3 beautiful Nautilus' and a RM and an AP, you take your pick.

RockinIt · 19 October 2014, 02:05 AM

I did the same thing and I will never do it again I have never tried on a watch I wanted so bad.

texex91 · 19 October 2014, 02:42 AM

Neil the Patek's look amazing--5980 SS get's my vote!

HOWEVER, those two hidden treasures in the background

I knew you would notice them Paul

Was a fun day trying these out with my dealer and trying to stop him selling the RG ROC off my wrist for one of these bad boys.

Wait till you try on a Rolex Sub. The whole new world will open before you

Different league, and I don't mean 20,000 under the sea. :)
I suspect I am one of many here who have or would love to have a Nautilus and a Sub co-exist on the watch winder...while wearing Paul's Richard Mille! :)

in fact, i'd pay more for a 5980/1a BLUE over the 5990..

oh and since you got to try it at an AD, you better get that piece ASAP because 5980/1a BLUE dials have been faced out.. u wont ever find a BNIB piece again..

locutus49 · 20 October 2014, 04:32 AM

I guess I'm in the minority as the Patek I covet the most is NOT a sports model - and I love sports watches - but rather the 5070 or 5170 (not sure I understand the difference but I would take either!).

HL65 owns one as I recall, and if I were a cat burglar, of all his watches I'd steal his cat (goes without saying) and his 5070.

The difference between the 5990 and 5980 is $6,000 not double. It it were double the retail price tag on 5990 would be $102k! That would be one expensive SS Nautlilus.

PS. Have you seen and handled one? If you did you would realize why it is so great and the complications amazing.
