Arguably the most recognisable sports model in the world, the Nautilus has evolved over the years and has mutated into different variants incorporated with highly desirable complications. The dual-time chronograph ref. 5990/1A was launched in 2014 as the replacement for its long-running predecessor, the flyback chronograph ref. 5980/1A. Extremely well-received, this reference is powered by the cal. CH 28-520 C FUS, featuring a dual-time complication based on the ref. 5164/A Aquanaut Travel Time, integrated with an automatic fly-back chronograph function.

The design of the case feels very much similar to the ref. 5980/A with a slight upgrade, featuring the seamlessly integrated dual time zone buttons on the side "ear” at 8 and 10 o’clock, boasting an unobstructed view that compliments the silhouette of the iconic Nautilus. The present ref. 5990/1A-001 featuring an understated gray dial was discontinued earlier in 2022, and replaced by the new blue dial reference 5990/1A-011. This timepiece is without a doubt one of the most practical and sportiest Patek Philippe ever produced. Complete with all the original accessories, this barely worn beauty from 2021 is the 34th example to have surfaced in the auction market and is a worthy set to be added to any collection.
