Patek Philippe · Family: Nautilus
The Patek Philippe Nautilus Chronograph 5980/1A-001 is the 40.5mm stainless-steel reference that brought a flyback chronograph to the Nautilus architecture, powered by the automatic Calibre CH 28-520 C with 55 hours of power reserve.

The Nautilus was born in 1976 as a Gérald Genta design, with the original reference 3700/1 in steel — an origin widely documented across watch-industry historiography. Thirty years later, in 2006, Patek Philippe introduced the 5980/1A-001 to mark that anniversary: the first Nautilus ever fitted with a chronograph, a function absent until then from a collection built around simple time display and, at most, a calendar.
The 40.5mm stainless-steel case, 12.2mm thick overall, houses the Calibre CH 28-520 C, an in-house automatic movement with a flyback chronograph — a function that lets the wearer reset and relaunch the timing function with a single pusher press, without needing to stop it first. Power reserve sits at roughly 55 hours.
The blue gradient dial, with its chronograph counter positioned at 6 o'clock, is the variant most associated with this reference. The integrated steel bracelet follows the case's overall lines, closed with a folding clasp, and the crystal is sapphire. At 100 meters of water resistance, the 5980/1A-001 keeps a sportier profile than other, more dress-oriented Nautilus references.
In 2021, Patek Philippe withdrew both the three-hand 5711/1A and this 5980/1A-001 from active catalog production, closing off retail access to the steel sports Nautilus chronograph [UNVERIFIED: the specific reasons stated by the brand for the discontinuation, and whether a direct successor exists within the Nautilus chronograph line, are not part of the catalog sources consulted for this fiche]. That decision places the 5980/1A-001 in the same high-demand secondary-market territory as its three-hand sibling.
Not at retail price through official boutiques: Patek Philippe withdrew it from active catalog production in 2021, alongside the 5711/1A. It only circulates on the secondary market.
