Catalogue Essay
From its beginnings as Patek Phillipe’s first venture into the casual chic steel timepieces in 1976, the Nautilus has developed, in the past 40 years, into an incredibly successful collection ranging from time only to complications from perpetual and annual calendars to chronographs like the present reference 5980 chronograph.
Based on Patek Philippe’s first inhouse automatic chronograph movement, the caliber CH28-520C beating within this watch gives the dial a disruptive and exuberant style with its large “bull’s eye”-type subsidiary chronograph counter.
This attractive and masculine chronograph is preserved in excellent condition. It is replete with its original accessories such as the Certificate of Origin, sales tag, leather wallet, product literature, presentation box, outer Tiffany & Co. packaging and even a Tiffany & Co. bag in the famed New York retailer’s baby blue.
