This is Watch Your Style.
Today I'm gonna be doing a review on probably one of the heaviest hitters right now in the
Watch Game.
That is the Patek Philippe 5976 40th Anniversary in white gold.
So this watch was released in the fall of 2016 and I remember when I saw it in pictures,
I just couldn't believe it.
Initially when I saw it, I thought it was gonna be just like a 5980 or something of
that nature, you know, 40.5 mm case just with a nice fancy blue dial.
Then I started seeing like a bunch of memes and a bunch of like flutter in the whole industry
about that the watch was too large.
They were cracking these jokes saying that Patek had partnered up with Invicta and made
it like a huge watch, so it kind of caught me off guard because Patek being such a conservative
brand, I really didn't think that they would make such a large case to this Nautilus, but
when I saw it, I couldn't believe it.
At first they were saying it was like 48mm and I thought to myself, impossible!
Patek won't do nothing ever, anything that's so gaudy and over the top.
They wouldn't ruin themselves like that, but let me tell you, the sheer size of it is bad-ass.
It's like they're riding that wave right before they wipe out and make the watch too big,
but definitely I feel like it needed a little bit of more size.
I can't tell you how many people I had showed the 5980 to and when they kind of try it on,
they kind of just have this like disappointent.
They're just kind of like sad-face, mostly because they're probably used to wearing watches
like AP in 42 millimeters or 44.
So when I first saw the watch and the size, I was just like DAMN!
Anything that has to do with boating, it just goes hand in hand, you know?
Crazy though, because it's called the Nautilus and it sounds like very like marine, but I
would probably like never put a watch like this inside the water, not even the 5980,
not even the 5980 in steel.
It's just really not for the water.
Even though it's called the Nautilus, don't let it fool you.
I don't know.
It's not a Submariner, pretty much that's all I got to say.
One of the things that I really like about this watch the most is that the dial has baguettes
stick indicators.
Now, the way that it's laid out it's so classy that, believe it or not, I've had a couple
of people not even notice that it had diamonds on it.
I've had a couple Patek collectors that have not seen it yet at the moment or didn't do
too much research because of whatever reason, they were caught up on business trips.
They didn't notice that it had diamonds on the dial.
That's how subtle the diamond baguettes are.
So, I really like that.
I love the blue tone of the dial and one thing that I wasn't too sure of when I saw it initially
released was I didn't think I was gonna like the whole 40th anniversary thing that they
put on the dial for the Nautilus.
You know, at first it was something I saw and I thought, man that's a little bit too
much.
Let me tell you, when you see the watch in person, it's out of hand.
It is so bad-ass.
The dial is beautiful and I was wrong to judge it without seeing it in person.
So one of the things that's really unbelievable about this watch is the price right now.
This is a limited edition.
They only made 1300 pieces of this watch, which is pretty remarkable considering the
fact of how hot the market is right for the Nautilus.
I mean, the timing was impeccable for them to release this watch.
With a retail price of $93,000, which they kind of undervalued it in my opinion, but
I think that was all just part of the plan, you know?
Ninety-three thousand dollars is a lot of bang for your buck if you were able to grab
one of these at that moment at retail price.
Chances are you probably didn't, but if you did, God bless you!
Right now these watches at the market today in 2018 probably going for around $210,000.
I mean, talk about a mark-up.
There just isn't enough of these watches.
Right now the Nautilus is super hot.
Then you got the whole bling industry where they're flooding these watches with diamonds
and stuff like that.
There's only 1300 of these pieces in the whole world and I would say a good 25 of them have
already been flooded with diamonds, so that alone would raise the prices of the factory
looking ones.
So if you can get your hands on one, it's something you might want to jump on.
I almost say it's like you're gonna miss the bus.
They were selling for $150k and people were holding off.
Then the price went to $175k and people held off.
Then they went to $190k, I mean at some point you gotta get on the bus.
I project personally in my opinion, that the ceiling for this watch might be $250k.
We're at $210k right now, but I wouldn't doubt it that somebody would pay $250,000 to have
one just to have it because you just simply can't get it.
One of the interesting things about this watch that I like is the box that it comes in.
They kind of did a throw-back to the original Nautilus box, which is like a little small
box with a cork material on the outside.
I thought that was pretty cool.
They kind of threw-back the whole box from the past and it's small.
So it was a good touch.
I could only imagine what a box like that is gonna be worth in 15 to 20 years when some
of these like these organized collectors lose these boxes, but we'll have to sit back and
wait and see what just happens with that.
So when it comes to the Patek 5975, I mean guys, I don't wanna be just stressing that
it's size, size, size.
Look, I don't like huge watches, but I think everybody can agree that the Nautilus could
have been a little bit bigger.
I was absolutely stunned and surprised that they actually went for a bigger size case.
I mean, I couldn't believe it.
I just could not believe it.
And when you try it on, it's massive.
And when I mean massive, I don't mean massive like an AP 44.
I'm just saying, it's gotta a lot of oomph behind it.
It's a perfect size watch.
The bracelet is thicker all the way around.
The proportions are amazing and perfect.
Overall, it's probably the hardest hitting Nautilus at the moment.
I think the only thing they could have done to make this watch better, would have been
to make it in rose gold, but then again, that's kind of like far-off from Patek's MO and that
would have been just giving the consumers too much.
They would have made this in rose gold and it probably would have annihilate the sales
of all the other ones.
Rose gold would have almost been taking it too far and it almost would have been too
easy.
Could you imagine this watch in rose gold with a blue dial?
It's already game over.
You know what, the retail is $93,000, but I see it as a $200,00 watch right off the
gate, from the minute it came out.
Besides the fact it's got value, price and exclusivity, I mean pretty much if you got
one of these 40th anniversary Nautiluses, you're obviously not an amateur.
You're obviously deep and heavy in the Watch Game and you pulling major moves.
I mean, it's probably one of those grail watches for almost any collector at the moment.
I mean, I just don't see how there's gonna be enough to go around.
I don't know how somebody could buy this watch and end up selling.
I mean, I get it.
It's not for everybody.
Sometimes you buy it and you realize that it's a little bit too big, but one thing I
realize off the back is the sheer weight of it.
I mean, it's got some weight to it, man.
I would say it weighs more than an AP 41 millimeter rose gold.
It's a heavy watch and it's definitely a heavy player.
