Today was D-Day, the collection of my Nautilus 5980 R, first full gold and member number 3 in my humble Nautilus collection. We spent a lovely afternoon at the newly opened Patek boutique by Degreef in Brussels. As usual my dear friend and owner Jacques spoilt us with gifts going from a lovely Patek umbrella to an awesome Patek travel bag. Jacques knows how to spoil their customers. It was big fun and throughout the excitement I took a few (sorry lousy) pictures. Damn, this watch is quite something...I adore it.

Modest Nautilus collection??? 5980-1R and 5711P plus another I don't know of really don't qualify for modest Nautilus collection, my 5711 and 5712 do qualify, but yours don't in any way.
Huge congrats, you have the 2 most amazing PM Nautilus pieces
