The story of this Patek Philippe Nautilus
An icon of sporty-chic watches, the Patek Philippe brand created the Patek Philippe Nautilus to offer a robust luxury watch. Heir to the 3700 Jumbo by Gérald Genta, this line has become one of the most sought-after watches among collectors. The Patek Philippe Nautilus 5990/1A-001 takes this Nautilus model even further by adding a complete travel chronograph for the enthusiast who rejects quartz watches and seeks a luxurious manufacture universe.
Case, calibre and bracelet
The stainless steel case of around 40.5 millimetres offers a well-balanced presence on the wrist. Its softened octagonal shape, typical of Patek Philippe Nautilus watches and water-resistant to 120 metres, highlights a material designed for everyday wear. The black horizontally embossed dial, with applied indexes and hands with luminous coating, clearly displays the local time and the second time zone. Through the sapphire case back appears the calibre CH 28-520 C FUS, an automatic cal. with 34 jewels, a true flyback chronograph with dual time function and hand-date at 12 o’clock. This chronograph makes this piece a genuine Nautilus Travel Time equipped with an integrated bracelet with satin-brushed and polished links.
Why this watch
For anyone wishing to buy an exceptional watch pre-owned, this Patek Philippe Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph 5990 combines complication, style and comfort. It brings together the strength of a sporty steel case and the finesse of a travel chronograph hand-finished by a manufacture watchmaker. On the luxury watch market, full set offers remain limited, especially with original papers and 2023 service at the official manufacture, which reinforces the appeal of this discreet reference. This watch also makes it possible to obtain a reference that is complex to obtain directly from Patek Philippe.
Delivered set and condition
This Patek Philippe Nautilus is offered as a full set with outer box, wooden presentation box, travel pouch, correction stylus, additional links, certificates and complete papers. The client thus receives a Patek Philippe Nautilus watch with everything expected from a carefully preserved Nautilus model. The pre-owned watch shows a steel case and bracelet in very fine condition, close to new. It shows a visible scratch on the crystal at 3 o’clock which will be replaced at the time of sale.
Warranty and delivery
This luxury watch is offered with a 2-year warranty from The Swiss Collector, covering the proper functioning of the movement outside abnormal use.
