2007 Patek Philippe 5980/1A Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph

This model combines Patek Philippe's iconic Nautilus design with high complications like a chronograph and dual-time functionality, all wrapped in luxurious 18k rose gold. It’s one of the few Nautilus references that marries elegance, sportiness, and mechanical complexity.

Definitely. Despite its solid gold weight, the ergonomics of the integrated bracelet and 40.5mm case make it wearable for long durations. Its Travel Time feature is especially handy for frequent travelers who want luxury without compromising functionality.

The watch is powered by the Caliber CH 28-520 C, an automatic movement known for its durability, precision, and smooth flyback chronograph functionality. With a 55-hour power reserve and Patek Philippe’s seal of quality, it’s a top-tier mechanism for daily use or collection.

Since it's discontinued, the 5980/1R-001 has become increasingly rare. It’s primarily available through private collectors or high-end dealers, and its scarcity is contributing to its rising market value.

This model appeals to collectors who appreciate both form and function—someone who values the technical prowess of a chronograph with dual-time capabilities but also seeks the prestige and presence of a full rose gold Nautilus. It's not just a timepiece; it's a statement.
