5980R
i am wearing the 5980R as summer daily now. I prefer this ref over my 5712/1A and 5980/1A black. The R is simply the best Nautilus if you want gold. The composite strap is perfectly paired. No heights and heft issue at all. And a Nautilus on strap, after actually wearing for a while, is not as bad as one thought. It is beautiful. A different look against the ones on bracelet but nothing inferior.
5980R-001 composite strap
Going back and forth on this piece. My most regularly worn pieces are the 5960P-001 and 5712/1A and contemplating adding a summer watch. Up for consideration are 5960/1A, 5712R, 5980R, and 5980/1A-014. Now the first 2 are metal variations of what I alread...
5980R
Highly recommended and the composite strap is soft and very comfortable to wear. No problem with the hot, wet summer.
Height and heft
thanks for the feeback. So you do not find the 5980R's height and weight to be an issue with the composite strap I assume? On the leather strap I assume it will be quite snug and comfortable as I like to wear my watches reasonably tight to the wrist to av...
I mostly wear nowadays steel
And my next watch I will pick up on 1st July is: 5960/1A It took some time before I started to understand this reference. Best Kari
So did I.
I was already quite interested when the first pictures were unveiled last year. But I really came to think I didn't find any flaw when I saw it a little long after that. It is a great reference, more modern than many of Patek watches available today and p...
5960/1A trouble
i like the 5960/1A a lot, particularly on a soft strap. My issue in acquiring this lies twofold. One is the lack of water resistance which i suspect would be bothering me in a summer watch. Two is the feeling of having to acquire a 5712R to make for some ...
I have a good bunch of Patek
in gold and platinum. However, a sporting watch in my books is made of steel (Patek). Other manufacturers use ceramics, titanium and other materials suitable for sporting watches. Best Kari
Hard choice
I fully understand your will to avoid getting watch which are to close (as having a smae ref in 2 different material). I would of course act the same way, even if it is more to me, in the end, the fact to know which one is the one I would like to wear mos...
White
yes white dial Nautilus is very very nice... Hard choices! Thanks for feedback!

perfect
Thanks for posting this response. Fantastic set of Nautiluses you have. Nice spread in dial colors and variety. I used to own the 5980/1A blue and found it wears quite differently from the 5712/1A. Would you say on the composite strap that the 5980R wears...
5980R is gorgeous
Sorry for my late reply. The 5980R is a bit top heavy but it doesn't bother me. The composite strap is very comfortable. The watch wears very differently than the steel one. 5980R is way more substantial on wrist. Hope this helps.
Congratulations Keks!
I love the rose gold Patek uses, it is soft and quite discreet Cheers, Mark
Interchangeability
Hi Mark. I am glad to know you love the rose gold of PP. I do,too. But I don't know 5980R is possibly changed to fit with bracelet. Can you confirm it? This will save me a 5980/1R's money. Thanks
I think I made a mistake
I completly forgot the strap 5980R existed previously to the new bracelet version. When I saw Keks' post I thought it was the bracelet one on which he put he strap (as I think some references can, like the Aquanaut for instance). For your question, as I h...
Oh no worries
Mark. I like 5980R a lot. Nautilus on strap looks different. I guess that is somehow because of the end link pc. By the way, since you are in France, do you happen to know why are are only two ADs in the entire France while a smaller Italy has so many? I ...
I wondered why too but don't have the answer either
By the way, welcome on PuritstSPro Damon and especially on our patek forum Cheers, Mark
Voila!
This is the watch to go! Congratulations! You will never get bored of it. Many ppl think a Nautilus should be on bracelet. But, 5980R and 5712R can easily stand on their own.
They are very different and complementary
I saw a strap 5726A on a wrist at a Patek Philippe presentation last year. The men was wearing a grey suit with this watch and it looked more elegant than the bracelet version. The Nautiluses in that outfit is a better balance beetween the metallic refere...
