Patek Philippe Neptune

Overall Condition: Very good condition overall. Case shows light wear consistent with age. Dial in excellent condition.

Patek Philippe made a fantastic, stainless steel sports watch and we're not talking about the Aquanaut or the Nautilus.

The Patek Philippe Neptune has been long under-appreciated since its debut in 1996 along with the Aquanaut. Both pieces served as alternatives to the popular Nautilus and were meant to inject some life and energy to the the maison's sports watch collection. The Neptune in its multiple iterations stood on its own unique design language with its round case equipped with crown guards, svelte proportions and an excellent, multi-link integrated bracelet.

This piece, a Reference 5080/1A-001, features a 37mm stainless steel case with signature crown guards, signed crown, sapphire crystal and a stunning fluted bezel with polished hour markers. The black dial features applied, quadrant Roman indices; a date indicator at 3 o'clock, luminous 'feuille' handset and a central chemin de fer minute track.

Powered by a self-winding Patek Philippe Calibre 315 SC movement, this piece features a stainless steel integrated bracelet with matching finishing and a signed locking deployant clasp.

Recognizable across the room only to those that know its distinguishable integrated bracelet design, this unusual, neo-vintage design from Patek is perfect for the discerning collector who wants a truly special piece that flies under the radar and offers a tremendous value!
