Patek Philippe

Patek Philippe reference 5980/1A has been one of the most looked after complicated pieces in the last years. The blue dialed version in steel is still offered but is now completed by a second dial variation of charcoal to black nuances.

The black version is now loosing the refined aspect of the blue dial and appears like a true tool watch!

A true sports watch

I've been really surprised by this watch the day I've been able to put it on my wrist. This case is not so large and fits very nicely my medium sized wrist.

Totally wearable even for medium sized wrists

I must say that I prefer the blue dialed version as I have to confess that I'm quite appealed by the blue dialed 5711/1A too!

On the contrary I admit that the black dialed 5980 is somewhat more modern looking.

A darker watch

The 5980R is another new offering. While the 5712 is no longer offered in (non jewelled) gold versions the chronograph is now available in a 5N gold that is darker than classical pink gold. The brown dial completes the package.

This watch is certainly less sporting due to its crocodile strap and is no longer able to be considered as a tool watch, or a luxury tool watch!

A watch for looking at sports

In fact this watch will certainly look perfect in the evening, back at the yacht club cocktail, while the steel version will be perfect for the regattas in the afternoon.

Tuned for the south of Brittany

This picture below reminds us that the Nautilus line really has a strong case design. Here in a less thin version as the watch comprises an annual calendar chronograph.

You may have understood that I'm not too fan of this one. Of course I can't love them all!

Another strong black face

Are you planning to offer some partnership to your 5712R ?

Perfect for mega yachting
