The present watch is, to the best of our knowledge, only the fourth example of this new reference to appear at international auction. One of Patek Philippe’s rare and highly sought-after complicated Nautilus watches, it is fitted with a superb sunburst blue dial with rose gold hour indexes that provides a ravishing and distinctive aesthetic to the model.
As part of the Ultimate Collection, the present watch is offered in pristine mint condition, factory double-sealed and with full set of accessories. It offers collectors and those looking for unobtainable modern Nautilus the golden opportunity to own the latest rose gold Travel Time Chronograph without waiting list or delay. Enthusiasts and discerning collectors will also appreciate the incredible exclusivity of its double-sealed status in the certain knowledge that no other person outside Patek Philippe has ever handled or worn this watch.
5990/1R-001
The Travel Time Chronograph powered by the self-winding caliber CH 28-520 C FUS movement integrates three practical and easy to use complications: a flyback chronograph, a Travel Time function (two time zones with two separate hour hands; the skeletonized hand shows home time) and a date at 12 o'clock which is synchronized with local time. The two indicators, ‘local’ and ‘home’ allow the user to easily distinguish between day and night. The two-piece case has a sapphire crystal display back and of course classic Nautilus styling.
