Patek Philippe

After enjoying the new Speedmaster for seven days straight, it’s time to make the change to an old favourite.

time !  Your 5980 needs to ride your wrist more often !  

Hope you are enjoying your day.

Do you prefer straps or bracelets ?

You can shower with a bracelet so generally, I prefer that…I love the Nautilus as far as PP goes. I only own Omega’s, but the exception for the future might perhaps include Laurent Ferrier or Parmigiani… a few years off, though I think.

What are you enjoying today ?

The difference is even bigger with the black dial Moonwatch. Two chronos on bracelets, but very different in style.

I’m certainly enjoying contemplating the change to this one.

It is a very impressive watch!

Your white speedy is more elegant, but bot saying this Nautilus isn't.

“Masculine ” suits the design very well, especially when you consider the era that the original design was conceived.

Driving a car like you have stolen it, no seat belt on and a hot woman on your lap!

It’s easy to get distracted when collecting but I urge you to find one. It really is a great watch.

As nice as the Speedmaster is, the 5980 is something special, particularly the integration of the chrono pushers.

It certainly hits the spot for me.

👏👏👏

Pleasure to share this one with you.

Dumbest move I ever made was to turn down the opportunity to purchase one at a small discount back in 2014. My local AD had one of these and a 5130g left as they were winding down their Patek relationship. I remember saying “the 5980 will go - but you’ll be stuck with the 5130” and talked them down to $30k for that one. If only I could turn back the clock 🤣🤣

It’s the ones that got away that we remember most 😤
