Is now a good time to sell the 5990?
Yes. The Nautilus 5990 remains one of the most desirable complicated sports watches on the market. With production numbers limited and waitlists extensive, demand is strong across all configurations—especially for discontinued or hard-to-source references.
Which 5990 versions are most valuable?
The stainless steel 5990/1A, particularly earlier production models, commands strong premiums due to its discontinued status and broad appeal. The rose gold 5990/1R also fetches high resale prices, especially when paired with the blue dial. Full sets in excellent condition consistently achieve top offers.
What makes the 5990 stand out to buyers?
The 5990 combines a dual-time (Travel Time) complication, flyback chronograph, and date—all within the iconic Nautilus case. This blend of sportiness, practicality, and technical sophistication makes it especially attractive to collectors who want both function and form in one high-end piece.
What factors affect the resale value of a 5990?
Condition, original box and papers, production year, and dial configuration all impact resale value. Mint or unworn examples with a complete set are most desirable. Signs of wear, polishing, or missing documentation can reduce the final offer.
Should I sell my 5990 privately or to a professional buyer?
Given the value and complexity of the 5990, selling privately can involve risk, delays, and uncertainty. Working with The Watch Exchange London offers security, speed, and expertise—ensuring a smooth, immediate transaction with same-day payment and no risk of fraud or non-payment.
How can I authenticate my Patek Philippe 5990 before selling?
Authentication involves checking the reference number, dual-time pusher functionality, flyback chronograph performance, and movement details against Patek Philippe’s specifications. We offer complimentary in-house authentication and valuation to ensure your 5990 is accurately assessed and priced.
