It was the first Nautilus wristwatch that features a chronograph complication and represents an important milestone in the history of the Nautilus. Despite this innovative addition, the dial of the 5980 retained the iconic Nautilus elements, including its ribbed design and a legible profile, while ingeniously combining the chronograph registers into a single "bull's eye" counter, accentuating the unique aesthetics of the watch. The chronograph function was upgraded to incorporate a flyback function, allowing the chronograph to be reset without stopping it first. The stainless steel versions of this reference were discontinued in 2014, further increasing its desirability and establishing it as one of the most sought-after Patek Philippe Nautilus models. The present example from circa 2009 is preserved in its single sealed condition and is complete with all the accessories, making it the perfect specimen for the discerning collectors.
