2020 Patek Philippe 5968A Aquanaut Stainless Steel 42mm

The Travel Time complication allows the wearer to track two time zones simultaneously. It features two hour hands: one for the local time and another for the home time. Adjusting the local time is convenient with pushers at 8 and 10 o'clock, enabling quick one-hour increments. Additionally, day/night indicators for both time zones ensure clarity during travel.​

The 5990/1A-001 is equipped with a flyback chronograph, allowing the wearer to reset and restart the chronograph with a single push at 4 o'clock. This feature is particularly beneficial for timing consecutive events without the need to stop and reset the chronograph hand manually.

Patek Philippe has preserved the iconic Nautilus design with its stainless steel case and integrated bracelet. Despite the added complications, the watch maintains a balanced layout, ensuring that the additional functions do not overwhelm the dial. The use of a horizontal embossed pattern on the dial and strategically placed subdials contributes to its harmonious design.

The 5990/1A-001 is a rare combination of Patek Philippe's craftsmanship and innovative complications within the Nautilus line. Its limited production and the inclusion of both Travel Time and chronograph functions make it a coveted piece for collectors seeking a blend of utility and luxury.

As of recent data, the 5990/1A-001 has a median market price of approximately $119,738, with a range between $104,098 and $155,847. This positions it at a higher price point compared to other Nautilus models, reflecting its unique complications and limited availability.
