With the new 250 post limit in mind, I'd better get started doing some bloody speed posting. :)
I really like the understated luxurious style and the exceptionally well crafted case and the very nicely finished movement. Unfortunately both my photographic skills and the mobile cam doesn't do the watch justice. I hope you'll enjoy the pictures anyway.

Now you have set a very high bar for your next speedpost!
I'd box that up every night just to experience unboxing it again. You could probably sell it as an experience.

Simply stunning...
250 post is good if we could see this :shock:
do you source it from uk ?
Gosh - I get it. For the first time I get it. Patek were a bit lost on me (I'm just not culchered enough :lol: ) but that's really beautiful
That is simply beautiful!! Congratulations!
That's just divine. Such class.
I'm really starting to lust after the pateks. Just gorgeous.

Arghh - I had just given up on buying a Patek for my 40th and then you go and post that!
A member for almost two years and that is the best you can do ;)
Think I may have to re-visit these lovely pateks jumbo models - where did you get it from and what is current RRP on that one?
Thank you.
It's just a matter of time...
That is simply stunning.
I need that box in my life. Beautiful.
Just a beautiful watch.
Awesome! Really everything is highest quality!
The Box looks superb!
If ever there was watch porn... That my friend is it. Congratulations.. It's a piece many aspire to own, myself included.
That is just lovely, congrats on the purchase. The box looks lovely too :) Are you hiding it away in the safe or are you planning on using it as a daily?
I agree with all, its a true stunner and designed by Mr Gerald Genta who sadly passed away last months. Wear it in good health Sir!!
(and hurry up with the posts incase you decide to flip it for £6k on SC) ;)
what a beauty.
Congrats
That is rather nice indeed. Congratulations from another slowposter!
:o Wow!
Congratulations and that box is a beauty on its own!
Congratulations!
Comfy too aren't they - although I had to hand it back after trying it on, maybe one day :wink:

Wow, what a watch to unwrap new.
Nautilus range is the only one I really like from PP.
Well done and enjoy.
Thank you for all the kind comments.Originally Posted by tictac37
I sourced it from the US.
I'd be a nice 41th birthday present too :)
I'm not sure what the current retail is in the UK but in Denmark I beleive it's 179.000 dkr. (approx. 20.000£)
Never understood why PP is on the upper end, but this explains a lot..Simply awesome!
Thats a lovely watch - I hope it will see some use rather than being locked out for special occasions...
but £20k.... blimey...
I have so far resisted the temptation to open my Patek, preferring to keep it for a special occasion (trip to the local boozer with the mrs perhaps).
However, box and watch are separated, the box residing in the Barbican somewhere and the piece itself in Singapore.
I shall have to live vicariously through your post for now. Splendid work by the way!
I remember well the day I had this experience.
Congratulations and welcome to the PP fold! :lol:
Thanks for the kind comments. It's looking gorgeous on my wrist just now. I'm going to use it in rotation with other watches, no reason to hide it in a safe.
£ 20,000 ...I'd need to win the Lotto.Its an item of beauty.The best of luck with it !!
Quite right. I am sporting mine right now.
that's a beautiful watch, simple and elegant - i just love it. 8)
and your pictures are very good BTW - far better than i could do :)
Wow, great pics, ....that came in the post? I think I'd be having seizures worrying about its well-being during transit.
Congrats Kris its simply beautiful , love the Nautilus range and i hope to have a 5980 some day.
Wear it well
That movement is gorgeous! Amazing packaging also.
I agree with the above comments; the number one watch of PP. Probably one of the most pricey steel watches as well 8)
Enjoy!

Gorgeous. Without a doubt the best PP.
I am feeling mildly controversial this afternoon and was going to bemoan the awkward and fussy case detail.
But then I remembered my manners and the fact that one mans fussy detail is another mans pleasure. If we all liked the same things, this forum would be a boring place.
That is a lovely piece and it is great to see pictures like this. That is the first time I have seen a box which I could happily describe as bordering on splendid and the view through the case back illustrates why exhibition backs should be reserved for pieces like this, not those with mundane prefabricated and undecorated movements. The Nautilus also avoids the awkward chapter ring detailing of its stable mate the Aquanaut.
Liking that one. Dare I describe it as 'minty'. Dare I also say that I bet you are glad you 'pulled the trigger?' 8)
Its a good looking watch, not my cup of tea though.
I go for the more dressy Pateks.
What's this about the new 250 post rule?
I have a friend who its not registered on TZ but used to like browsing Sales but he says that be can't see it anymore, is this a new policy?

And do you remember well where my PP box is lurking? Or have you shifted it on through ebay?
Very nice, I've only ever seen these through the window at the local AD, way out of my price range. :(
And do you remember well where my PP box is lurking? Or have you shifted it on through ebay?
If the cleaner hasn't ditched it, it will still be in my study. If you weren't so shy about coming out for an ale you'd have had it in your possession yonks ago... :P
tillykke min ven :)
Yes - I have been coy with the ale of late. Perhaps due to the lavish splurge on the old Patek.And do you remember well where my PP box is lurking? Or have you shifted it on through ebay?

I would avail myself this evening, but you have chosen to sully my good name in public. A slur, sir.
Still a lovely piece - I shall post wrist shots of my own, when I finally take the plunge and marry the wench. Though I am uncertain how a Patek will rest with the locals in the Valleys....
Even though I'm aware that I merely look after it for the next generation, I definitely haven't regret buying it. :wink:
Tak for det.
Imponerende kat i øvrigt :)
That looks amazing! Was it shipped to you through the post?! :shock: :D
Congratulations, very nice! I have one of its brothers:
The PP is simply stunning , it will have to be a lottery win before I could afford one.
I really like the movements on those. They are things of beauty.
Best wishes,
Bob
Glad to hear it, would be a shame to have it hidden most of the time! :)Thanks for the kind comments. It's looking gorgeous on my wrist just now. I'm going to use it in rotation with other watches, no reason to hide it in a safe.
