The Steel Watch Game Bully!! - Patek Philippe Nautilus 5990!

[@mauriebarnes8272]

This review rocks. No one else talks about watches this way. The essence of why we are in this game.

[@CJ-rb3do]

I agree. Eric keeps it simple and real AF

[@HtPt]

100 bitcoins and a 5980 . what else do i need ??...hahah

[@michaellazar5610]

Great job Eric. Love the channel. In 2014 I passed on a SS 5980 from an AD in Las Vagas because the 35k was too expensive! later in 2015 I bought a RG 5712 that I kept for a few years. Luckily it appreciated enough a few years later, so I traded it for a SS 5990 that was about 52k at that time. Only one problem... every time I looked at the gray- black dial over the next year, I kept thinking about the beautiful blue dial of the 5980. The 5990 also appreciated so I did what all of us obsessive watch collectors do, I sold it and bought a 2006 SS 5980 blue dial with the Geneva Seal. I now sleep much better!!

[@MIAthe305]

The fact that currently a 5711 is going for 5990 prices is insane!! The 5990 is on another level of steel heavy hitters

[@vincentvandenbroeck6583]

Nice review. I wear a 5990 for more than a year now and I never (really never) pushed the travel time buttons by mistake. I really like this watch. Discrete and a lot of wrist presence at the same time.

[@costas3953]

8:04 I like 'em, 8:08 I don't like 'em ;-) Changed your mind in 4 secs!!! Love your work by the way.

This is so top of the food chain. I am so glad you do a review on this.

Thanks Eric to give us this amazing video.

[@WatchEric]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@WatchEric]

Thanks a ton

[@whitepony101]

My favorite nautilus!! Yes!! I saw that thumbnail and automatic like 👍🏽, you keep bringing it Eric, you the man!! 🙌🏽👊🏽

[@WatchEric]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@Soorma1988]

Eric, 5980 was the Apex Predator, what do you call this one?

[@saulacuna9490]

Very cool video! "5990 El Jefe" awesome description, you cracked me up. Validating what you just mentioned in your video, after buying several watches from my AD including a 5711/1A in 2012 and a GMT-Master II 126710 Pepsi in 2020, I went ahead and inquired for the "5990 El Jefe", I was told as a courtesy for being a good and long-standing costumer they will kindly register my interest, PP ensures they only take delivery of three a year. It is a very hard to get watch indeed.

[@jgity]

Absolutely stunning.. like u said if you know you know.. great video Eric.

[@WatchEric]

Yes! Thank you!

[@kingadjust5422]

this grey dial travel time is my favorite nautiluses besides the 5712 blue dial in steel on the bracelet which is my dream watch!!! 😎

[@paulwalker4303]

Great videos as always love your passion for whatches lovely peice but my fav pp has to be 5711👍

[@PappaGiorgio87]

Thanks for the great review & beautiful video! In 2026 I will get the call for this watch, can’t wait to finally put it on my wrist!

[@damian2858]

Great review Eric I don't agree on the pushers I have this watch and never had any problems with the GMT function been honest I find it extremely easy to set . Keep up the good work 👌

[@peeayy]

Good video, per usual. Show us the office/work cave, whip update, and 5 watches (you think) one should buy under 10k if you want to start building a collection.

[@WatchEric]

Thanks for the idea!

[@IIRROONNEE]

LOOL "I need the silent bully. I need it!" I liked that :D

[@wulin505]

Tried on both and still prefer 5980/1A over 5990/1A. 5980 had better proportion like you said. The blue dial+white subdial design of 5980 is also more mesmerizing than the grey dial of 5990.

[@octavious8ace267]

Great review as always Eric. As you said, I recently had to purchase a 5524 to start my Patek “Journey” with my local AD back in 🇬🇧. I thought I’d immediately feel cheated however that wasn’t the case. I love it. Any chance of a review on a 5524 as like you say, most people aren’t getting straight into a Nautilus of any kind. Keep up the great work 💪🏽

[@alinavid1581]

fantastic review Eric, thank you

[@WatchEric]

My pleasure!

[@jonathansmith283]

[@milantoth2045]

Thank you Eric, its a cool video - as always ! 5711 meets better my taste, and 5712 too.

[@johnbang2858]

Waiting for review on 5990. Thanks Eric.

[@WatchEric]

🤷🏻‍♂️😂

[@daverobertson3556]

Like your style Eric, good review ! Like the 5980 I would wear one. I know what you mean about the 5711 for me it’s too thin and light as a feather. Like to feel a presence on the wrist when it costs so much.

[@WatchEric]

Right on

[@raybugz9275]

Eric is so underrated. 🔥

[@jeffreyf4074]

Such a sick piece...one of the only true “one and done” watches. I think the premium price is justified when you think this watch is a GMT, Chrono, and Nautilus. GMT Pepsi is selling at $18-20k, Daytona is $22-25k, and 5711 is going nuts at over $100k...the 5990 does it all at $100k and destroys anything else in the room while being a stealthy piece. Damn.

[@joaquinreigada7998]

Well... to be honest that would be my least favorite Nautilus, it’s still a great timepiece, but as I have a different taste (and a smaller wrist 😤) I would stick to the 5711 or the 5980 which are killer pieces. Congratulations on another great video Eric!

[@wwade2169]

You just have good taste. The nautilus silhouette in itself is ACTUALLY goofy (border lining ugly af) as it is. The 5990 exacerbâtes this by crowding the dial. I’ve said it a million times, if it said Girard Perregaux on the dial you wouldn’t be able to sell this watch. royal oak is worth the hype, but the nautilus is a piece of shit just because it has PP on the dial.

[@buzzufy]

Great review! There are a lot of things to think of before purchasing this 5990. 🤔

great review Eric

[@emmanuelizrailov4274]

Can you please do a review of a Vacheron Constantin watch?

[@rayleeaustralia]

It’s interesting that you brought this subject up that PP is very sought after in the last 4 years. I don’t think anyone can just walk into an AD to pick up a steel piece. Just the the Rolex sports steel. Yet I hear so often people bagging Rolex for this and very rarely do I hear the same for PP. 🤔 Nice watch.

[@aparetix]

I only like 5711 and 5990 in PVD coated.

[@thomashouston5575]

Beautiful watch

[@WatchEric]

It really is!

[@ryankelly8077]

About 9.5/10 ppl that like the Nautilus are usually pretend fanboys that don’t really know anything about Patek or watches as a whole, and usually just like it bc of the hype

[@philongpham3886]

correct, however the Nautilus has grown in me. I wish they combine the form factor of natilus with the dial and movement of 5270 or the calatrava.

[@cristianandresgonzalez7841]

Eric how do you feel about the 5711 being discontinued? Grey market is at 100k. Insane!!

[@ShizAudi]

Hey Eric, love the channel! Would you consider doing some videos on more attainable watches ($15k or less)? Some of us are younger and not at El Hefe level just yet haha

[@Perogiii]

And now we have the rose gold with a blue face 🤦‍♂️. I wish they did that in the 5980 but either way now I gotta find the crazy amount it’s going to cost lol.

[@chris5k132]

Which bracelet is more comfy, the nautilus's or the royal oaks's

[@WatchEric]

As much as I love the AP. I feel its the Nautilus

[@scotts1409]

@@WatchEric Agreed. Nautilus is more comfortable because its rounded corners. AP feels/looks more "sharp" or "masculine"

[@chris5k132]

@@WatchEric gotcha, I believe these two have the best bracelets in the market right now. In terms of looks and comfort. Well, a jubilee is like super flexible too but doesn't look as good or elegant as the APs or Pateks

[@Diderot68]

I don’t like the two small holes on the dial of the 5990. Would take a 5712 or 5740 anytime.

[@aciel-tv]

I pretty much prefer 5990 over the 5980. Its either this or 5711. But with 80-100k usd i rather get a 5990 over 5711 atm.. the 5711 prices r just not realistic, trading above 5712 at my country lol. I have 2 ss daytonas , exp2, but looking for my first patek. Really want a nautilus but man the prices r whacked now lol

I honestly have never understood the love for the Nautilus, or the RO for that matter. The VC Overseas is better design, more waterproof capabilities, and the most ingenious integrated bracelet. But some people, even wealthy people are sheep and may explain the insane demand.

somehow this watch doesn't look like having a soul for me (don't get me wrong, I only collect PP and Rolex and I love both) it's one of the most complicated patek but the dial just misses something that will catch your eye right away look like a watch put up with tons of functionality maybe some day I will change the way I feel about it but for now it's the least sexy nautilus for me... (5980 1AR or 1R is great)
