The Nautilus 5980 flew the Nautilus collection to new heights. The timepiece deviates slightly from the Nautilus design but bears striking similarities with the 5712 and 5726 variants.The Patek Philippe Nautilus 5980 Replica is a legend among contemporary watches.
The design of the 5980 was to make sure that the Nautilus heritage remained untouched. Even with the requirement for chronograph pushers at the two and four o’clock position, the manufacturers ensured that would not separate the long-time vintage design that is the Nautilus.
Dial
Looking at the dial, you will notice the gradation in the dark blue, black or brown dial colours available. This gradient effect starts from the centre to the edge of the dial. This different look was essentially borrowed from the base Nautilus line. The dial of the Swiss Patek Philippe Replica also features a horizontal-etched design that generates these three-dimensional effects in place of the patisserie that can be found in other luxury sports watch.
It possesses nine instead of twelve index markers in white gold and coated with luminous layering – this gives the capacity for the robust co-axial chronograph subdial to suit right above the six o’clock designation. The date window is placed at three o’clock, an identical feature in the original Nautilus.
The Patek Philippe Replica Watches dial itself is in all manners as elegant as it can be, everything from the graded colour scheme to the stick-shaped hour markers, are created to make a watch aficionado’s heart drop. Importantly, it is the very image of the watch and one that is to be looked upon by its wearer for a long time.
The dial is easy to read and straightforward. The date is larger than regular and easy to read. The date is fixed through a pusher on the case. That is because this is the same calibre as the 5960 chronograph that features a yearly calendar. This is unsuitable since the wearer needs a pushpin or toothpick. I prefer date adjustment through the crown. While the Cheap Patek Philippe Replica co-axial chrono-counter makes the dial cleaner, it is difficult to read at particular periods when the hands encircle the subdial.
It, however, takes some time to get used to the 30-minute chrono-counter in the subdial, though everything else shows in a quick gaze. Maybe the only con here is that there is no attached seconds hand in this watch. In case you are impatient to find out if the timepiece is operating or not, you might need to wait a minute or two to know, or turn on the chronograph.
Case
Comprising the ears, the diameter of the watch case measures 40.5mm. It measures 12.2mm in height and is heavier and more sturdy than many base Nautilus models. The Patek Philippe Nautilus super clone is available in three case versions – stainless steel, stainless steel and rose gold, rose gold. These look brilliant, especially the rose gold as it adds a real luxurious and premium feel to this chronograph.
Do not forget though, that the Nautilus frequently receives accolades for its slim case, so the 5980 model slightly veers off to a different direction. The density of the 5980 case guarantees that it wears far more like a contemporary sports watch than a classic Patek Philippe watch.
This Nautilus model, when released, introduced a new chronograph movement. Inside the 5980 is an in-house movement produced by Patek: the Who sells Patek Philippe replica watches new Calibre CH 28-520, which exhibits a hefty 21-carat gold central rotor that spins the movement.
This timepiece contains various features such as a Breguet balance spring, a vertical clutch that allows the chronograph to operate continuously, a column wheel, a generous 55-hour power reserve and a four-arm Gyromax balance that beats at 28,800 oscillations every sixty minutes. The chronograph performs as designed, the start stops at two o’clock, with hand reset and flyback at four o’clock. The date though needs a little of a push pin for immediate correction. It is, however, one of the most advanced and elegant sports chronographs on demand.
Wearability
The Patek Philippe first copy watches, although a little bulky by Patek Philippe standards, has a feeling of substance on the wrist, harmonised by its bodily presence. We would suggest that anyone getting a Nautilus 5980 should get it on a bracelet – as it was designed to be fitted to. The bracelet/straps available for the Nautilus 5980 include stainless steel, stainless steel and rose-gold, rose-gold with a Nautilus fold-over clasp.
There is also a leather option available with the rose-gold variant although we are not completely convinced with this combination. The bracelets have beautifully polished centre links and wonderfully bevelled edges on the brushed links. This is a good use of steel and rose-gold materials in a high-end luxury watch.
