  • Catalogue Essay

    - Originally introduced in 2006 with a stainless steel case, the Patek Philippe reference 5980 marked a significant milestone for the brand as it was the first Nautilus reference to feature a chronograph complication. Garnering widespread acclaim, Patek Philippe later released a pink gold version with a leather strap in 2010, known as reference 5980R-001.

    - Adorned with an appealing chocolate brown dial that harmonizes beautifully with the hefty 18K pink gold case, the dial also showcases a silvered all-in-one chronograph register positioned at 6 o'clock. Powering this timepiece is Patek Philippe's first in-house self-winding flyback chronograph caliber CH 28-520 C, further adding to the reference's significance and garnering a growing community of enthusiasts.

    - While the more recent reference 5990 introduced the travel-time complication to the beloved Nautilus case, it couldn't quite rival the enduring appeal of the classic sleek design of the reference 5980.

    - With the recent discontinuation of this reference in early 2024, the present timepiece will forever hold a special place in the hearts of many collectors as the ultimate Nautilus model.

Patek's complicated vintage watches hold the highest number of world records for results achieved at auction compared with any other brand.
