Patek Philippe Nautilus 5980/1A – Full Set 2013
The Patek Philippe Nautilus Chronograph reference 5980/1A is one of the most celebrated stainless steel sports chronographs produced by Patek Philippe. Combining the iconic Nautilus architecture with a sophisticated automatic chronograph movement, this example features the highly desirable blue dial and is offered as a Full Set from 2013 in excellent condition through THEWATCHPROJECT Monaco.
Crafted entirely from stainless steel, the Nautilus 5980 features the distinctive rounded octagonal bezel and integrated bracelet that have defined the collection for decades. The alternating polished and satin-finished surfaces emphasize the complex construction of the case and bracelet while giving the watch its unmistakable luxury sports-watch character.
The signature blue horizontally embossed dial is one of the defining elements of this configuration. Its changing blue tones are complemented by applied hour markers and the distinctive chronograph counter at 6 o’clock, creating an immediately recognizable appearance while maintaining excellent legibility.
At the heart of the watch is Patek Philippe’s automatic Calibre CH 28-520 C, combining flyback chronograph functionality with a date display and central chronograph seconds. The movement can be admired through the sapphire crystal caseback and reflects the sophisticated mechanical engineering and finishing associated with Patek Philippe.
The stainless steel 5980/1A has been discontinued, giving well-preserved and complete examples particular collector appeal.
