Lot Essay

Introduced in 1976, the design of the Patek Philippe Nautilus was inspired by portholes found on maritime vehicles. The original reference 3700 was constructed with a monobloc case, replicating the way portholes were opened on vessels.

The present lot, reference 5990/1A-001 is a contemporary wristwatch from the Nautilus collection dating to 2014. It is one of the most functional Nautilus watches and is a favorite amongst collectors. The timepiece features a travel time complication in which Patek Philippe has ingeniously and discreetly integrated the pushers into the left “ear” of the case. The pushers advance a second time zone hand which can be jumped forwards and backwards. When a second time zone is not needed, the second time zone hand can be hidden behind the hour hand, out of sight.

The timepiece also features day/night indicators to correspond with the hands, adding to its clarity. Further, the manufacturer continues to uphold their position as a premier manufacturer by including a flyback chronograph and date complication to the already impressive timepiece. The intricate bracelet watch measures at a contemporary 40.5mm and is crafted from steel for ultimate durability and comfort. The present lot is an incredible travel companion that is ready to be worn on any occasion and would make an excellent addition to any serious watch collection.
