5990/1A-001 - Patek Philippe NAUTILUS

With both a chronograph and a dual time feature, the 5990 makes about as strong a case for practical versatility as is possible from a $57,300 USD watch. Really though, the price shouldn’t be surprising and the 5990 will almost certainly be a very popular watch for Patek in the coming years and will likely make it’s way onto many a watchnerd’s grail list. The 5990, along with it’s other new steel sibling the 5960, show that Patek Philippe is serious about their steel-watch offerings and, despite what we predict will be a very limited supply of both of these new models, is willing to produce watches with true mass-market and enthusiast appeal. 

The Ref. 5990/1A-001 Nautilus Travel Time chronograph is one of Patek Philippe’s rare steel watches. 

Equipped with the CH 28-520 C FUS self-winding movement, it combines three convenient and practical complications: flyback chronograph, travel time (dual time zone, including two independent hour hands, of which the skeleton hour hand indicates the home time) and the local time. Time-synchronized analog date display (at 12 o'clock).
