  • Catalogue Essay

    Initially released in 2006 encased in stainless steel, the Patek Philippe ref. 5980 was a milestone for the firm, as it is the first Nautilus reference with a chronograph complication. Well-received by the community, Patek Philippe released a pink gold iteration with a leather strap in 2010, ref. 5980R-001.

    Fitted with an attractive chocolate brown dial matching perfectly against the 18K pink gold case, the dial further features a silvered all-in-one register at 6 O’clock. Powered by Patek Philippe’s first in-house self-winding chronograph ref. CH 28-520 C, the importance of the reference is matched by its ever growing community of admirers.

    The present example Patek Philippe Nautilus ref. 5980R-001 is presented in excellent overall condition with very minimal wear. Enhancing its desirability and further enhancing its rarity, the present specimen bears the “Tiffany & Co” signature under “GENEVE”. Accompanied by its full set of accessories with a Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin stamped by Tiffany & Co., New York, the present timepiece will surely delight many collectors in the community seeking for this highly sought after timepiece.

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