Patek Phillipe Nautilus Flyback Chronograph in 18k Gold and steel, ref. 5980/1AR

Up for sale here is one of the finest offerings in the Nautilus lineup- the 5980 flyback chronograph. This variant comes cased in stainless steel and 18k gold, with a blue sunburst dial. Ref. 5980/1AR.

Although the 5980 was recently discontinued from the Patek catalog, it’s incredible to see how well thought out this timepiece is. The 28-520 movement is a flyback chronograph, equipped with a vertical clutch.

This greatly minimizes the friction while running the chronograph, allowing for the chrono sweep hand to be used as a running seconds hand. Along this line of thinking, there is no need for a seconds sub-dial, so it does not appear on the watch! And since the chronograph is a flyback, it allows for precise setting of the seconds hand as the minute rolls over.

Comes with the original box and papers dated in 2014.

Asking price: $119,750

All watches sold by us come with a 1 year warranty on movement, case, and bracelet functionality.
