Jumbo wins!

SMD · 4 October 2016, 09:58 AM

Not exactly something to brag about. The nautilus is atrocious.

Daytonaman799 · 4 October 2016, 10:02 AM

Im a HUGE Nautilus fan...but these new releases have NOTHING on the Jumbo. AP did it right and PP just missed it with these new ones.

texex91 · 4 October 2016, 10:14 AM

You missed the best part--the stamped dates and diamonds.

GB-man · 4 October 2016, 10:28 AM

Jumbo all day whooping the 40th nautilus like AD does his kiddos.

kneedeep · 4 October 2016, 10:49 AM

By a country mile! One is class, the other is crass.

jschmidtdmd · 4 October 2016, 11:11 AM

I don't think these are even comparable.

The 40 year nautilus is just sad.

Robert993 · 4 October 2016, 11:40 AM

I think they are comparable.. both 40th anniversary.

Hairdude1 · 4 October 2016, 11:42 AM

Patek failed, AP Jumbo still rocks

wisguy · 4 October 2016, 11:48 AM

Jumbo

How amazing that AP did better at 40th than PP

Epic fail

Royalex · 4 October 2016, 11:53 AM

Patek did a big mistake.

It took me 3 years to start liking the Nautilus design, but now I love it, limed the AP from the start, though 1 thing I don't like, the crown, it kind of sticks out on the side of the case, a crown guard would have been better IMO

Dandoun · 4 October 2016, 01:47 PM

Patek all day long. The AP is plain ugly IMO, stuck in time. Ekh

jon_jon · 4 October 2016, 03:01 PM

My impression is that the Anniversary Edition Patek Nautilus Chrono is limited by its price, size and perhaps the diamonds.

If Patek released a steel model at under $50K USD for the Anniversary, I think people would have been all over it, despite the size or diamonds. However with the price at the $90K-$100K USD level, it is not an easy watch to accept.

DCheeta · 4 October 2016, 04:49 PM

AP definitely did it right with the Jumbo. PP...not so much.

The Nautilus has been violated. But hey atleast they kept it at a reasonable size. 50mm.

My respect for Patek is lost. May be temporary, but this is like a joke.

Really? I prefer PP but the AP is a beauty, just can't get used to the crown, but the rest is great

I could live with the diamonds, that stamp on the other hand...

travisb · 5 October 2016, 12:31 AM

Not even close.

SamGMT · 5 October 2016, 12:44 AM

I thought it was made for Halloween as the dial looks like tombstone with skeleton bones as makers. No?
Anyway, Happy 40th years anniversary Patek!

AK797 · 5 October 2016, 02:30 AM

AP won the anni battle hands down, if PP had kept the vibrant blue on a stick dial on WG with no dates on the dial then they would have won.

masyv6 · 5 October 2016, 03:47 AM

AP by such a large margin I struggle to find the words to express it.

TheMethod · 5 October 2016, 06:33 AM

Jumbo by a large margin, Patek missed the mark big time with the 40th anniversary of the Nautilus.

singe89 · 5 October 2016, 10:43 AM

So basically Paul called it. I was hoping he would be wrong and there would be something new and refreshing or even a precious metal version of a current line up (PT 5990) but instead they underwhelmed with their strange 40th dials and diamond markers. I will say I like the larger size and hope it's a sign of things to come. I just hope when the 40th chrono doesn't sell well Patek doesn't attribute it to the size and not the rest that's wrong with it.

RW16610 · 5 October 2016, 10:55 AM

AP for me as well, thank you very much!

Maybe it was designed for the dead in their afterlife. You never really own a Patek, until you die.

gummy · 5 October 2016, 11:48 AM

Jumbo 100%...I'm still scratching my head on that Patek.

Is that metal backing thats visible behind the diamonds? If so, it just gets worse.

Is something different.
