Would you sell a steel Nautilus Chrono 5980/1A for........
My AD gives me the opportunity to get next year a brand new Nautilus Perpetual Calendar ref. 5740.
As I won’t have available all the cash to pay this watch, would you sell your beloved 5980/1A purchased in 2008 (with Geneva Seal) to fund the perpetual Nautilus ?? |

Not a chance I would trade. The 5980 is my favorite Patek - and Nautilus.

If you can sell 5980/1A close to market price and get 5740 at retail, you should do it.

Absolutely! Take advantage of the market now to upgrade. I prefer the slim profile of the 11s, 12s , and 40

I have both in my collection, and I love both. If forced to select one, I would go 5740.

I think I would do it also. The feel of the white gold is always very neat. I also love PCs.

Ive had both in my hand and I'd prefer the 5740. It's slimmer, more elegant and the light blue is just jaw-dropping.

Do you have something else to sell instead of the 5980?

From someone who came to the Nautilus party late (this year), I would have loved to have gotten a 5980 1A. It's hands down my favorite SS nautilus -- so make sure the 5740 is what you want. |

I like both watches, but the 5740 is hard to come by. Are you able to add instead? The 5980 is a discontinued blue nautilus and so rare now.

It’s not rare at all. Lots out there. It’s only overpriced now. I bought a blue and a black 5980 in 2014 for 41K each. He should sell now, take a big profit and get the 5740. He said he doesn’t have the funds to just buy the 5740 so how does he add.

I fell you gonna regret passing the 5740. It's very very difficult to get one at msrp. Do you like 5740? If so, do it!

1000%. The 5980 is too top heavy IMHO. Also you can’t compare a PC caliber that u use every day and a Chrono24/Date. If you are getting it at retail that means you can basically get the 5740 for next to nothing as its close to an even swap. A WG PC with the new bracelet. That’s a home run...grand slam.
