18 ct rose gold · black gradient dial · integrated rose gold bracelet · 40.5 mm
The Nautilus chronograph in rose gold on the gold bracelet, from 2013: one subdial reads minutes and hours, and nothing else crowds the dial. Sourced to your brief.
The 5980 line began in steel in 2006, as the 5980/1A, the first Nautilus chronograph. The rose gold 5980/1R-001 followed in 2013, shown alongside the two-tone 5980/1AR, and Fratello noted that nothing changed but the metal: same case, same dimensions, same water resistance at the time. Its dial is a horizontally embossed black gradient that reads close to brown in some light; the brown dial proper belongs to the 5980R, the rose gold version on a strap.
The dial carries one counter, at six o'clock, and it does two jobs. Patek calls it a 60-minute and 12-hour monocounter: elapsed minutes are read on two concentric scales and hours on a third. The chronograph centre hand doubles as the running seconds, the date sits in a window at three, and the pushers are on the right only, start and stop at two, reset and flyback at four. The movement is calibre CH 28-520 C, self-winding, with a column wheel, a vertical disc clutch and a 21K gold rotor.
The steel 5980/1A gave way to the 5990/1A in 2014, and the 5980/1R is no longer in Patek Philippe's online collection, so this is a secondary-market search. The gold bracelet will matter as much as the watch. Availability and timing are confirmed for your request before you commit to anything.
| 5980/1R | 5990/1R | |
|---|---|---|
| Chronograph counter | 60 minutes and 12 hours | 60 minutes only |
| Second time zone | No | Yes, local and home |
| Date | Window at three | Hand at twelve |
| Left flank | Plain | Two pushers for local time |
| Dial | Black gradient | Sunburst blue |
Both are rose gold on the integrated bracelet. The 5980/1R times hours as well as minutes and keeps the left flank plain; the 5990/1R trades the hour count for a second time zone.

Same chronograph, same monocounter, same case. The steel 5980/1A started the line; the 5980/1R is the gold version on the gold bracelet, and the reference to name rather than the 5980R if you do not want a strap.
Each page is a guide to the reference and how we source it, not a listing. If yours is not here, ask anyway.

Bracelet or strap: the 5980/1R on the gold bracelet, or the 5980R on a strap with the brown dial. Say if a full set with the Certificate of Origin matters.
Confirmed for each request from our network, before you commit to anything. We tell you plainly what is realistic rather than quote a date we cannot keep.
Original box, Certificate of Origin, booklets and any additional links are itemised for the individual watch we propose.
That the dial is the black gradient, not a brown 5980R dial; that the monocounter records hours as well as minutes and the flyback resets at four; the quick date change with the corrector at eight; and the gold bracelet for stretch, link wear and past polishing. An Extract from the Archives can be requested from Patek for the individual watch.
Send the reference by WhatsApp or the form, with the dial, set and timing that matter to you. A collection or a style is enough to begin.
We go to our network rather than a boutique list, and come back with what is realistic on availability and timing before you commit to anything.
Condition, documents and what accompanies the watch are set out in writing for the individual piece we propose. You decide with the details in front of you.
Bank transfer in any major currency, or crypto. Collection in London or fully insured delivery, agreed for the watch and the destination.
Any brand, any reference, whether or not it appears on this site. Tell us what you have in mind and we take it from there.
Patek uses a single monocounter at six that records both elapsed minutes, on two concentric scales, and elapsed hours, up to twelve. One subdial does the work of two, which keeps the dial clear.
Black gradient, which can read brown in warm light. The brown dial belongs to the 5980R, the rose gold version on a strap.
It no longer appears in Patek Philippe's online collection, so we source it on the secondary market. The 5980 survives in white gold on a strap as the 5980/60G.
The 5980 is the chronograph with an hour count. The 5990 of 2014 drops the hour count, moves the date to a hand at twelve and adds a second time zone, set by two pushers on the left flank.
Yes. Bank transfer in any major currency, or crypto; Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum, USDT and other major coins and stablecoins are accepted. The coin, network and amount are confirmed with you before any transfer.
An exact reference or an idea is enough to start the conversation. We will take care of the search and discuss the options with you.
