PATEK PHILIPPE STEEL ‘NEPTUNE’ WATCH REF. 5080/1A

The Neptune family of watches was launched in 1996 as an alternative to the Nautilus which was (ironically) not very desirable by the market at the time. The innovative Neptune was meant to re-energize the Patek Philippe sports watch category and was offered alongside the newly announced Aquanaut. The bold case design with prominent crown guards gave a distinctive look that is only now getting the appreciation it deserves. The time only ref. 5080/1A was made from 1996-2002. As a short run, steel Patek sports watch with one of the most coveted dial colors ever made by Patek Philippe, this watch represents a true value buy in the ‘neo-vintage’ world of collecting.
