  • Catalogue Essay

    Offered without reserve and consigned by its original owner, this reference 5990 is preserved in almost like-new condition. It is complete with its Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin dated February 13, 2015, additional links, setting pin, product literature, leather wallet, presentation box and outer packaging.

    Known as the Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph, reference 5990 features a bevy of complications. The watch displays two time zones, as well as the date in addition to the flyback chronograph complication. There are furthermore "Home" and "Local" day/night indicators at 3 and 9 o’clock.

    Introduced in 2014 and still in production today, reference 5990 is extremely sought-after. Consequently, it is incredibly difficult to obtain one at a Patek Philippe retailer and takes years of waiting to be allocated one.

    Patek Philippe

    Swiss • 1839

    Since 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.
