The Patek Philippe Nautilus 5980/1A may be an exception among the firm’s catalog anchors, but if you’re going to launch just one sporting chronograph, make it a great one. Patek took its sole bullet and hit dead center.
On the occasion of the model’s 30th anniversary, Patek Philippe debuted the first ever Nautilus chronograph. By combining the king of sporting complications with its flagship sports watch, Patek created an historic model with unprecedented youthful vigor and robust wrist presence.
The revolution was an inside-job. Specifically, the Patek Philippe Nautilus 5980/1A packs the first automatic chronograph ever designed and produced in-house by Patek. Despite its august reputation and history of complications innovation, the Stern family’s horology empire spent most of its history reliant on outside specialists for base movements, especially chronographs.
In 2006, the new CH 28-520 chronograph movement launched simultaneously in this Nautilus chronograph and the 5960P annual calendar chronograph.
It’s a gem of an engine.
Consider the feature set that Patek Philippe crams into the Nautilus 5980′s case: maintenance-free ceramic winding rotor bearings; a vertical clutch that enables the chronograph to run continuously without damage; a column wheel that keeps the pusher feel crisp; a 55-hour power reserve that easily trumps the industry’s 42-hour norm; a free-sprung balance that resists shock to promote utmost timing precision.
A classic Geneva Hallmark visible through the sapphire case back is the grand finale of Patek’s in-house opus. This movement is a love letter to smitten devotees of the watchmaker’s art.
But the Nautilus 5980 also makes a statement with its style. While previous Patek Philippe watches - Nautilus included - were the embodiment of reserved masculinity and traditional elegance, the 5980 was the first Patek Philippe that could be called “butch” in the contemporary parlance. This chronograph looks like a Nautilus that hit the gym with a locker full of Met-Rx.
Unlike traditional Pateks, the 5980 seems inclined to go lug-to-lug with the Oyster series professional watches from Rolex and the muscular Royal Oak Offshore from eternal rival Audemars Piguet. The 5980 is a big watch by Patek Philippe standards, and the sense of substance on the wrist is matched by its physical presence; don’t be deceived by the nominal 40.5mm case size.
This Patek Philippe Nautilus 5980/1A is available from thewatchbox.com in outstanding condition with full factory accessories.

Thank you for the great reviews. To me, this is one of the most stunning sport watches in the world. IMO blows Royal Oaks away.

In what ways do you think this blows away Royal oaks besides higher price?

+King Jack I'd say in style and elegance. The Royal Oak isn't as "classy". AP are more of a showy and attention seeking brand (like maybe Hublot or Richard Mille) which can be seen in the RO offshore. You'd never see Patek making something like the offshore. PP have that air of class that even other high end watch makers can't match

+King Jack sorry it took so long to reply...just saw your comments... I know many lobe the AP, but for me, the AP looks like it is almost unfinished. It looks a little raw to me, whereas the Patek and even the VC Overseas, look more refined, and more thought out. Just my opinion, and I certainly recognize the iconic status of the AP Royal Oak, but if it is my money, both the Patek and VC are a notch above. But I do love the timelessness of the AP.

Jules Desai I would say that air of class, is mostly deriving from the stereotype of PP’s price and fame.

Amazing review of a beast of a watch. The best Nautilus for me. One thing Im not sure about is the vertical clutch mechanism and not sure you can help me. You say and are correct that you can leave it running. Is there absolutely 0 impact on wear and tear on the mechanism to do this? Or any loss in amplitude etc Or is it, generally better to not leave it running? Thank you
not the easiest chrono to read when the hands block the subdial
good review / advertisement thanks
"Immensely practical.." Except for that $40k part.

you cant carry a Range Rover on an airplane , think about it ...
I want this watch in rose gold, a royal oak gold, aquanauts stainless, Rolex submariner stainless, Rolex yacht master 2 gold, rose gold sky dweller that's the perfect collection,
I think this watch is coast 500 dollars
Disappointed this watch has a friction fit double deployant topped by a clamshell.
Im starting 2 notice i hate this very particular color combination everything else is fine i absolutely love the rose gold PP or just practical yellow gold but if its stainless steel with ugh😵 this blue dial id probably rather wear a fashion watch tbh only the colors iv seen this exact model with rose gold & my mouth was open for like 2mnts straight just bc the sheer beauty 😍
