Catalogue Essay
With the release of the reference 3700 in 1976, Patek Philippe created one of the best stainless steel luxury wristwatches available on the market and in the ensuing 40 years, it became an icon. At the time of launch, Patek Philippe completely revolutionized the concept of a "sports watch" with its water resistant Nautilus case designed by famed Gerald Genta. The watch was rugged, masculine and sporty in nature and could be worn in both casual settings as well as formal affairs.
Presented in 2006, reference 5980/1 was launched alongside its time-only sibling reference 5711. At the time of launch, it was a completely novel design as the Nautilus model had never incorporated a chronograph function before.
A particularly early example, the present watch is preserved in excellent and superb condition with sharp finishes throughout. The contrasting satin and polished finishes are sharp and defined, attesting to the beauty and the condition of this timepiece.
