Patek Philippe's Nautilus chronograph reference 5980 was introduced on the market in 2006 - the 30th anniversary of the Nautilus. The launch of the new Nautilus model coincided with the presentation of Patek Philippe’s own proprietary automatic chronograph movement. Patek managed to update the Nautilus without distorting the model and to secure it a place among the best sportive chronographs. Matching the overall design, Patek created unobtrusive flat, square pushbuttons, thus avoiding major changes in the design of the watch. The totalizer extends from the central arbor to the bottom edge of the dial and is a combination of two chronograph registers showing the timed hours and minutes in the inner and the outer circle respectively. The reference 5980 is already considered a legend among modern timepieces.
