The 5990 arrived in 2014 and put two of Patek's patents in one Nautilus case: the Travel Time dual time zone and the flyback chronograph. Its pushers sit on both flanks, chronograph on the right, time zone on the left.

This Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph wears a 40.5mm stainless steel case with a blue embossed dial, home time and day/night indicators. Calibre CH 28-520 C FUS inside, on the integrated steel bracelet.

Fun fact: the left-hand pushers move the local hour hand forwards or back an hour at a time without stopping the watch, so you can change time zones mid-flight.

The collection

Nautilus

Patek's sports watch of 1976, its case shaped after a ship's porthole

Patek introduced the Nautilus in 1976, drawn by Gerald Genta and shaped, as the house still describes it, after a ship's porthole. The original ref. 3700/1 was 42mm across and 7.6mm deep, water resistant to 120m, and sold in steel on an integrated bracelet at a time when Patek was known for gold dress watches; it was later nicknamed the Jumbo. The rounded octagonal bezel, the two ears at the case sides and the horizontally embossed dial still identify it. The family now runs from a time and date model through the chronograph and the travel time flyback chronograph, the moon phase with power reserve, and annual and perpetual calendars, with smaller diamond set versions alongside.

Sizes in the family

35.2mm on the smaller models, 40mm to 41mm on the rest

Who it suits

For the buyer who wants the Patek name in something worn without ceremony, on a bracelet rather than a strap.
