Catalogue Essay
The reference 5980 was first released in 2006 in stainless steel fitted with a mesmeric blue ribbed dial commemorating the same iconic dial coloration as its forefather. Featuring a date, and an additional flyback chronograph complication powered by the cal. CH 28-520 C, the reference is most definitely practical yet attractive for the modern day gentleman seeking for a slightly larger and enhanced variant of the Nautilus.

The present example is fresh to the market and is offered in excellent overall condition and will most definitely attract lovers of modern icons.
