W&W 2021: Patek Philippe reveals four new Nautilus models & the final 5711/1A

Patek Philippe reveals four new Nautilus models to celebrate the opening of Watches & Wonders Geneva 2021.  

Following the announcement that 2021 will be the last production year of the stainless-steel model Ref. 5711/1A, Patek Philippe presents an entirely new olive green sunburst dial for this iconic timepiece. 

This new dial will also be available in a version featuring a bezel set with baguette diamonds. The Ref. 5990/1 Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph is a new rose gold variation with a blue sunburst dial. Finally, there is a new Nautilus Haute Joaillerie model with a random full diamond pavé setting with 2,553 brilliant-cut diamonds (total ~12.69 cts).

Nautilus Ref. 5711/1A-014 olive-green
Patek Philippe unveils an olive-green dial that is new to the Nautilus collection. The elegant, sunburst dial color is a refined match with the shimmering gleam of the steel case and bracelet. Whether by day or night, it displays perfect legibility and contrast with the applied white gold hour markers and hands accentuated by a luminescent coating.

The distinctive design of the Nautilus is highlighted by the subtle interplay of satin and polished finishes on the bezel, case and bracelet, a hand-crafted process requiring 55 operations for each watch.

5990/1R Flyback Chronograph Travel Time
Patek Philippe adds a new rose gold interpretation of the Nautilus Flyback Chronograph Travel Time with a sunburst blue dial.


Nautilus 5990/1R Flyback Chronograph Travel Time

Launched in 2014 in a stainless steel version framing a black-gradient dial, the Nautilus Reference 5990/1 combines three useful and practical complications: a flyback chronograph, a Travel Time function (dual time zone) and date indicated by a hand (at 12 o'clock) coupled with local time. Patek Philippe now offers this model in a magnificent rose gold version featuring a beautiful contrast with the sunburst blue dial bearing an embossed horizontal pattern as well as luminescent-coated rose gold hands and applied hour-markers.


Nautilus 5990/1R Flyback Chronograph Travel Time - $106,452







The self-winding chronograph caliber CH 28-520 C FUS powering this model, which is water-resistant to 120m, combines tradition (column-wheel control) with avant-garde technology (a disk-type clutch). The central seconds hand is complemented by a 60-minute counter positioned at 6 o'clock. The flyback function enables a new "in- flight" timing operation to be instantly restarted using the dedicated zero-resetting pusher at 4 o'clock, without having first stopped the hands using the 2 o'clock pusher.



The Travel Time system comprises two central hour hands. The skeletonized hand indicates home time, while its solid counterpart indicates local time. When traveling or juggling with time zones, the user can add a second time zone to the watch by adjusting the local time hand forwards or backwards in one-hour increments using the two "+" and "-" pushers located on the side of the case at 9 o'clock. Meanwhile, the open-worked hand continues to indicate home time. This ingenious mechanism is complemented by two day/night indications appearing in small apertures topped by the inscriptions LOCAL and HOME. When owners are in their habitual country of residence or no longer need to know the time in another time zone, they can perform a very simple operation to superimpose the two hours hands which then form a single hand.



The rose gold bracelet, enhanced like the case and bezel with alternating satinated and polished finishes, is equipped with a patented Patek Philippe folding clasp secured by four independent catches.

The new rose gold Reference 5990/1R-001 joins the Nautilus collection's existing stainless steel Reference 5990/1A-001.
