Catalogue Essay
Patek Philippe is known for their mechanical innovations and master craftsmanship when creating and producing complicated watches. In 2011, they introduced a 21st century timepiece, the Aquanaut Travel Time reference 5164, featuring a practical dual time function indicated by an additional white skeleton hand. The dial depicted both home and local time, along with day and night indication. Fitted with two pushers on the left side of the case band, the pushers easily allowed adjustment of the time while mirroring the right side of the watch for well-balanced symmetry. Acclaimed by collectors as one of the most interesting model line evolutions introduced by Patek Philippe
In 2014, Patek Philippe released the reference 5990 featuring the same dual time complication as the Aquanaut Travel Time, but now combined with the in-house, automatic flyback chronograph caliber 28-250. Like other Nautilus chronographs such as the reference 5980, the ref. 5990 incorporates unobtrusive chronograph pushers that helped maintain the iconic design of the original reference 3700 “Jumbo” Nautilus first released in 1976.
Another highly praised detail was the placement of the buttons used to change the local time, cleverly disguised in the left “flap” of the Nautilus case, allowing for minimal modification to the eternal Genta design while keeping the symmetry of the case.
Fresh to the market, this reference 5990/1A is in excellent condition and offered with its original Certificate of Origin and presentation box.
