Patek Philippe Nautilus Chronograph – Stainless Steel with Blue Dial Ref. 5980/1A-001

Patek Philippe Nautilus Chronograph – Stainless Steel with Blue Dial Ref. 5980/1A-001

A true icon in the world of haute horology, the Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 5980/1A-001 blends elegant sportiness with mechanical sophistication. Introduced in 2006, this reference is celebrated for housing Patek Philippe’s first in-house automatic chronograph movement within the iconic Nautilus case.

Crafted entirely in stainless steel, the 40.5mm rounded octagonal case features vertically satin-brushed surfaces, integrated lugs, and a matching stainless steel bracelet with polished center links — all meticulously finished to Patek's uncompromising standards. The embossed blue gradient dial, shifting from deep navy to inky black at the edges, provides a rich backdrop for the luminous white gold hour markers and hands.

At 6 o'clock sits a distinctive monocounter subdial that combines 60-minute and 12-hour totalizers into a single, balanced display — a design hallmark of the 5980. The flyback chronograph function is powered by the Caliber CH 28-520 C, a self-winding movement with a column wheel and vertical clutch, offering both precision timing and smooth operation.

Water-resistant to 120 meters and fitted with a sapphire crystal caseback, the Nautilus Chronograph Ref. 5980/1A-001 stands as a modern classic — simultaneously sporty and refined, with exceptional mechanical depth.
