Catalogue Essay
- Released in 2016 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Nautilus, the ref. 5976/1G was produced in a limited run of 1,300 pieces, featuring a commemorative dial embossed with “1976–40–2016”. Housed in a bold 44mm white gold case—the largest in Nautilus history—it features a chronograph, date display, and baguette diamond hour markers, blending sportiness with refined luxury.

- Powered by the automatic calibre CH 28-520 C, the watch shares its movement and thickness with the ref. 5980 but offers a broader wrist presence while remaining wearable. Released alongside the platinum ref. 5711/1P, this anniversary edition was reserved for Patek Philippe’s most loyal clients, underscoring its exclusivity.

- Offered in excellent overall condition with full accessories, including the sought-after cork presentation box, this example represents one of the most collectible and distinctive modern Nautilus references.
