Heritage Narrative
The Patek Philippe Nautilus, designed by the legendary Gérald Genta in 1976, remains one of the most celebrated icons in modern watchmaking — a perfect balance between sportiness, elegance, and technical sophistication. Over the decades, Patek has continually refined the Nautilus line, culminating in the reference 5990/1R-001, which unites two of the manufacture’s most advanced complications: a flyback chronograph and dual time function.
This January 2025 example, crafted entirely in 18k rose gold, exudes presence and refinement. Its rich sunburst blue dial reveals layered depth with horizontally embossed texture, gold applied hour markers, and subdials that seamlessly integrate the chronograph and travel-time displays. Inside beats the Calibre CH 28-520 C FUS, a self-winding masterpiece combining flyback functionality with local and home time indication, plus an analog date display synchronized to local time. Offered unworn and complete with its full set — box, certificate, and booklets — this reference stands among the finest expressions of contemporary haute horlogerie.
