Patek Philippe ref 5800


The Right One is PP 5800



The Patek 5800 Nautilus is one of the rarest Patek references available because of its limited production run.
This watch was introduced as part of the 30th year anniversary for Nautilus in 2006 and with the Nautilus 40th anniversary upcoming.
The 5800 was discontinued approximately 15 months after introduction and had possibly the lowest production numbers of any modern Patek. This could be one of the most difficult models to find.
This watch got the DNA of both the Patek 3800 and 5711. Clear Sapphire case back, new style bracelet and clasp, rich blue dial and rounder ears (Patek 5711). 38.4mm size and a two part case that even the 5711 doesn’t have.  A truly Sport model should not come from a three part case as far as water tight is concerned.
 The Ref. 5800/1 was the only model from the new Nautilus collection that still has a two-part case and also features a sapphire-crystal caseback. The self-winding automatic Patek Philippe movement, caliber 330 SC provides the classic functions: hours, minutes, sweep seconds, and a date in the aperture at 3 o'clock.
The Nautilus 5800 is identical to the highly sought 5711 but, is slightly smaller.
In my opinion, this is the right size for most of Asian men except Manny Pacquiao. It fits me more than the 5711 which I think is a bit too far with their JUMBO size.
And this is BLUE.
