Catalogue Essay
-Patek Philippe reference 5980/1 was initially introduced in 2006 together with its time-only brother reference 5711 - the very year the Nautilus collection celebrated its 30th anniversary.

-Equipped with the manufacturer's in-house self-winding chronograph calibre CH 28-520, the design of the timepieces was entirely new and revolutionary as the Nautilus collection had never incorporated a flyback chronograph function before. The dial is further simplified via a subsidiary dial combining all registers into one, forming what is dubbed as the “bull’s eye” counter. The fully stainless steel version been discontinued in 2014 and replaced by the reference 5990.

-Preserved in excellent condition, the present timepiece comes with its original certificate of origin and fitted box.
