Catalogue Essay
The Patek Philippe Nautilus has cemented itself as horology’s preeminent sports watch icon, evolving over the years to incorporate highly coveted complications. Launched in 2014, the dual-time flyback chronograph ref. 5990/1A built upon previous beloved and coveted references, drawing cues from their designs and inspiration from their complications.

Powered by the caliber CH 28-520 C FUS, it ingeniously integrates the dual-time functionality of the Aquanaut Travel Time reference 5164 with an automatic flyback chronograph first seen in 2006 in the reference 5980. The case design similarly mirrors the bolder lines of the reference 5980, with seamlessly integrated dual time zone pushers on the “ear” sides, providing an uncluttered view that complements the Nautilus’ iconic silhouette.

The pink gold iteration of the 5990, succeeding the steel case and grey dial combination, was first introduced to the market in 2021 and instantly received praise for the luxurious pink gold case and bracelet and beautifully contrasting navy blue dial. It is the ultimate in luxury sports watches, and the perfect travel companion with two essential complications.

Offered by the original owner, this reference 5990R is fresh to the market and offered with its full suite of accessories. The Nautilus is an icon amongst collectors, and this complicated Nautilus is a marvel to be seen and worn.
