Another new Patek Philippe watch comes from the aforementioned Nautilus family of luxury sport watches. The Patek Philippe Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph (Ref. 5990/1A-001) is a modern reissue of a cult classic Patek Philippe chronograph watch from 1976 that also, for the first time in Patek’s portfolio, combines a chrono with a dual-time-zone function.
To maintain the contours of the classical Nautilus case, the two correctors that adjust the time zone up and down in one-hour increments are seamlessly integrated into the case flank at 9 o’clock. Patek Philippe also shifted the two chrono pushers closer to the crown for greater ease of use. The black dial, with the brighter-to-darker gradation and horizontal embossed pattern, now features day/night indicators for both time zones, a date subdial at 12 o’clock, and a 60-minute subdial at 6 o’clock for ideal legibility. The all-new automatic movement that powers all these complications, Caliber CH 28-520 C FUS, is visible through the sapphire caseback. The Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph Ref. 5990/1A has a stainless-steel bracelet with fold-over clasp. Patek says that the new model will replaces the Nautilus Chronograph 5980/1A, launched in 2006, in the collection. The watch will be priced at $57,300.
