Patek Philippe Nautilus 5980/1A-001
The Patek Philippe Nautilus Chronograph Ref. 5980/1A-001 in stainless steel with its distinctive grey-blue dial represents a landmark in modern horology, as it was the first Nautilus ever fitted with a chronograph complication and Patek Philippe’s first-ever in-house automatic chronograph movement. This 40.5mm timepiece features the collection’s signature rounded octagonal bezel with alternating satin-brushed and polished finishes, paired with an integrated stainless steel bracelet secured by a double-folding clasp. The grey-blue dial showcases the Nautilus’s iconic horizontally embossed pattern with a subtle gradient effect, while applied white gold hour markers and luminous baton hands ensure excellent legibility. The innovative “bull’s eye” monocounter at 6 o’clock combines both the 60-minute and 12-hour chronograph totalizers into a single co-axial subsidiary dial, with a discreet date aperture at 3 o’clock. At its heart beats the in-house Caliber CH 28-520 C, a self-winding flyback chronograph movement with 35 jewels and a 55-hour power reserve, visible through the sapphire crystal exhibition caseback. With 120 meters of water resistance and the prestigious Patek Philippe Seal, this grey dial variant holds particular significance among collectors as a transitional and highly desirable iteration of the reference, representing the perfect synthesis of Gerald Genta’s legendary design and Patek Philippe’s mechanical innovation. Key specifications: 40.5mm stainless steel case; grey-blue horizontally embossed dial; Caliber CH 28-520 C automatic flyback chronograph movement; 35 jewels; 55-hour power reserve; 120m water resistance; integrated stainless steel bracelet with double-folding clasp; sapphire crystal front and exhibition back; “bull’s eye” monocounter combining 60-minute and 12-hour registers at 6 o’clock; date at 3 o’clock.
