To commemorate what is considered to be one of the most iconic luxury sports wristwatches in modern times, Patek Philippe launched two limited edition wristwatches featuring a unique dial embossed with 1976-40-2016 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the much-admired Nautilus. Included in the limited edition launch was the Nautilus reference 5976G chronograph wristwatch with date, and further features a larger 44mm diameter case. The largest case size in the family of the Nautilus ever offered, the reference is most definitely unique on its own. On the other hand, the dial is enough to captivate the minds of connoisseurs of Patek Philippe, as it was the first to feature a commemoration date on the classic ribbed sunburst blue dial.
With a resemblance to the reference 5980, similarly a chronograph with date powered by the same cal. CH 28-520 C, the reference 5976 is somewhat different. The commemorative piece features a case with the same thickness as the reference 5980, however as the diameter is larger than the reference 5980, it wears thinner on the wrist. Furthermore, the dial features baguette diamond-set indexes which generates an enhanced but subtle luxurious appeal to the luxury sports watch of the century. Launched as an unnumbered, limited production of 1,300 pieces in 2016, the watches were offered to loyal and the most supportive clients of Patek Philippe globally.
Consigned by the family of the original owner, the present example is fresh to the market, and is a lovely example of the 40th Anniversary Nautilus. It is further enhanced by the complete set of accessories it came with when purchased by the original owner including the now iconic cork presentation box. This 40th anniversary of Nautilus chronograph is fresh to the market. It's the 9th to be identified and the oldest from a limited series of 1300 pieces made in 2017.
