The Patek Philippe Nautilus 5980R-001, with its classic octagonal bezel and rounded porthole case design epitomizes yachting at its finest. The 5980R-001 is an exquisite sports watch which is durable enough for the most active lifestyles, yet elegant to be worn at any upscale affair.
This Nautilus brand has epitomized fine watchmaking since 1976. This Nautilus is a chronograph with a 60-minute and 12-hour dial at the 6 o’clock position. The pushers are elegantly placed into the case between the 1 and 2 o’clock and between 4 and 5 o’clock positions, above and below the screw down crown. It has a date window at 3 o’clock. The hour and minutes hands as well as the hour markers are rose gold with luminescent coating.
The dial is a dark brown with embossed patterning. A matching set of cufflinks with the same embossed patterning and rose gold can be had for an additional cost. The 5980R-001 is also available in steel, white gold, or two-tone combinations.
The 5980R-001 is powered by a Caliber CH 28-520 C self-winding automatic movement. It has 308 parts, 35 jewels, a Gyromax balance and Spriomax spring. The central rotor is in 21k gold. It has a 55 hour power reserve. Both the front and back of the Patek Philippe Nautilus 5980R-001 are covered by sapphire crystal. The beauty of the movement can be seen through the back crystal viewing window. The Patek Philippe Nautilus 5980R-001 originally ships with a brown crocodile leather band.
Rubber B has developed 7 stunning bracelets for the Patek Philippe 5980R-001. Although there are two different shades of brown (Expresso & Chocolate) that can match the original crocodile leather band that came with the 5980R, there are several other color bands that can help make a statement. The Rubber B bands are durable and able to withstand the rigors of an athletic lifestyle. All Rubber B bands are manufactured in Switzerland from Vulcanized rubber. No coating, blends or bonding is used in the manufacturing – ensuring long-lasting strength.
The Vulcanized rubber straps are engineered to fit the Patek Philippe Nautilus 5980 case and deployant buckle. The Rubber B straps are compatible with models that come on a leather crocodile strap, not the ones that come on a gold bracelet. For more information visit our page here.
