Catalogue Essay
The Ref. 5976/1G-001 draws inspiration from the earlier ref. 5980, released in 2006 to mark the Nautilus’s 30th anniversary. Powered by the same self-winding caliber CH 28-520 C, the ref. 5976 retains the same case thickness as its predecessor but, thanks to its larger diameter, wears thinner and more comfortably on the wrist.
Produced in a limited edition of 1,300 unnumbered pieces, the ref. 5976/1G-001 was released alongside the platinum Ref. 5711/1P, both featuring the commemorative dial and diamond hour markers.
The present example is a truly exceptional find in excellent condition. It comes complete with all its original accessories, including the highly prized cork presentation box, certificate, and documentation.
Patek Philippe
Swiss | 1839Since its founding in 1839, this famous Geneva-based firm has been surprising its clientele with superbly crafted timepieces fitted with watchmaking's most prestigious complications. Traditional and conservative designs are found across Patek Philippe's watches made throughout their history — the utmost in understated elegance.
Well-known for the Graves Supercomplication — a highly complicated pocket watch that was the world’s most complicated watch for 50 years — this family-owned brand has earned a reputation of excellence around the world. Patek's complicated vintage watches hold the highest number of world records for results achieved at auction compared with any other brand. For collectors, key models include the reference 1518, the world's first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph, and its successor, the reference 2499. Other famous models include perpetual calendars such as the ref. 1526, ref. 3448 and 3450, chronographs such as the reference 130, 530 and 1463, as well as reference 1436 and 1563 split seconds chronographs. Patek is also well-known for their classically styled, time-only "Calatrava" dress watches, and the "Nautilus," an iconic luxury sports watch first introduced in 1976 as the reference 3700 that is still in production today.
