DescriptionThe Patek Philippe Nautilus Flyback Chronograph Travel Time Ref. 5990/1R is a wristwatch designed to blend sophisticated design with complex functionality. The watch is crafted from 18k rose gold, a luxurious material known for its enduring beauty and shine. The case measures 40.5 millimeters in diameter and 12.53 millimeters in thickness, striking a balance between bold presence and comfortable wearability on most wrists. The rose gold case is polished to a mirror finish on the bezel and case flanks, while the case back is made from scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, showcasing the intricate workings of the self-winding movement within. The crown, used for adjusting the time and date, and the pushers, used for controlling the chronograph functions, are also made from 18k rose gold and designed for a smooth, assured operation.

The dial of the Patek Philippe Nautilus Flyback Chronograph Travel Time Ref. 5990/1R is a sunburst blue masterpiece, featuring a captivating play of light across its surface. The hour markers are applied rose gold with a luminescent coating, ensuring excellent legibility in all lighting conditions. A date aperture is positioned at 3 o'clock, displaying the current date. The most compelling aspect of the dial is the dual-time zone functionality. The local time is indicated by central hands and a day/night indicator at 9 o'clock. The home time is displayed via a separate aperture at 6 o'clock, also including a day/night indicator. The chronograph complication is integrated seamlessly into the dial with a central chronograph hand and a 60-minute counter at subdial at 6 o'clock.

The Patek Philippe Nautilus Flyback Chronograph Travel Time Ref. 5990/1R is powered by the Caliber CH 28-520 C FUS, a self-winding mechanical movement renowned for its precision and reliability. The movement comprised of 370 parts and equipped with 34 jewels, oscillates at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4Hz). This high frequency translates to smooth sweeping motion of the chronograph hand. The movement also incorporates a Gyromax® balance and a Spiromax® balance spring, both of which are Patek Philippe innovations that enhance the movement’s resistance to shocks and temperature variations, further ensuring timekeeping accuracy. The self-winding mechanism, featuring a 21K gold central rotor, automatically winds the watch as the wearer moves, generating power reserve of between 45 and 55 hours when fully wound. The Caliber CH 28-520 C FUS is distinguished by the Patek Philippe Seal, a hallmark that signifies exceptional quality and adherence to stringent manufacturing standards. The watch is water-resistant to 120 meters, suitable for wear during everyday activities or even while swimming or snorkeling.
