Catalogue Essay
Presented in 2006, reference 5980/1 was launched alongside its time-only sibling reference 5711. The same year that the entire Nautilus celebrated its 30th anniversary. At the time of launch, it was a completely novel design as the Nautilus model had never incorporated a chronograph function before. Fitted with calibre CH 28-250, the manufacturer's in-house self-winding chronograph.

Discontinued in 2014, the reference 5980 is one of the best modern sports watches in its class, better yet, the present is kept in its single sealed condition. Never expose to any usage, the offered watch is complete with all the accessories that are fitting for the most discerning collectors. The present lot is an important milestone for the entire Nautilus collection, reference 5980 is set on its path to becoming a powerhouse and icon for a generation of collectors to admire and talk about.
