Patek Philippe Nautilus Flyback Chronograph Travel Time Stainless Steel Blue Black Dial | 5990/1A-011
Introduced in 2014 as the first steel Nautilus to combine flyback chronograph and travel time complications, the reference 5990/1A-011 established itself as one of the most technically ambitious sports watches in Patek Philippe's contemporary catalog. This 40.5mm steel example showcases the distinctive blue-black gradient dial that transitions from deep midnight blue at the center to rich black at the periphery, creating the visual depth that has made this reference a standout among Nautilus variants. The Patek Philippe Nautilus 5990/1A-011 houses the manufacture Caliber CH 28-520 C FUS, a movement that required five years of development to integrate dual-timezone functionality with flyback chronograph capability within the constraints of the iconic Gérald Genta case design.
Key Features & Specifications
