Patek Philippe Neptune Black Dial

21,089.36 173283 C Excellent Mens Box Only Stainless Steel Sapphire 36mm Stainless Steel Notched 3008XXX Black w/ Roman hour markers, Luminous hands & Luminous lume 315 SC Automatic Fixed Date Stainless Steel Deployant Pre-owned Patek Philippe Neptune ref 5080/1 is a lesser-known part of Patek's rich heritage produced briefly between the mid-1990s and 2002.  Described by the brand as “ideal for sportswear and, at the same time, the perfect dress watch,” it is a surprisingly versatile Patek that combines classically elegant dress watch design elements like a round case and silky bracelet with an overall sportier flair.  It has the beads-of-rice multi-link bracelet with textured links that some would say resemble fish scales.  Keeping in line with the nautical-inspired nature of the watch, the bezel is also decorated with a similar texture.  Patek produced many variations of the Neptune during that time, including the 5080/1 time-and-date model in full steel and with a self-winding mechanical movement and a sharp black dial. These watches are quite rare, considering the short production run and somewhat unusual design set.  However, you can add one to your collection for a competitive pre-owned price when you buy the Patek 5080/1  for sale here.
