The rose gold 5990: blue dial, gold hands, and the same two complications as the steel watch.

Patek Philippe showed the 5990/1R-001 at Watches and Wonders in April 2021, beside the steel 5990/1A. It is the Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph in rose gold: case, bezel, pushers and integrated bracelet, with a rose gold fold-over clasp. Patek lists one dial for it, sunburst blue with the horizontal embossing, rose gold baton markers and rose gold hands.

The movement is calibre CH 28-520 C FUS, the same as in the steel watch: a self-winding flyback chronograph with a 60-minute counter, column wheel and vertical disc clutch, 370 parts and a 21K gold rotor. Two pushers on the left flank move local time an hour at a time in either direction, the date hand follows local time, and the skeletonised home-time hand sits under the solid one when the two times agree.

What separates it from the steel 5990 is the metal and what goes with it: rose gold markers and hands where the steel watch has white gold, and a blue sunburst where the current steel dial is blue-grey. Tell us whether the gold is fixed for you; availability and timing are confirmed for your request before you commit to anything.

Both are rose gold Nautilus chronographs on the gold bracelet. The 5980/1R counts hours as well as minutes; the 5990/1R gives up the hour count for a second time zone. The pushers on the left tell them apart at a glance.

Other watches we are asked for

Each page is a guide to the reference and how we source it, not a listing. If yours is not here, ask anyway.

Sourced to your brief, itemised before you decide

Nothing on this page is stock. Tell us what matters and we find the watch that fits.

The brief

Whether rose gold is fixed, or the steel 5990/1A would also do. Say if a full set with the Certificate of Origin is essential.

Availability and timing

Confirmed for each request from our network, before you commit to anything. We say plainly what is realistic rather than quote a date.

What accompanies the watch

Original box, Certificate of Origin, booklets and any additional links are itemised for the individual watch we propose.

What we check on a 5990/1R

That both left-flank pushers step local time forward and back and the date follows; that the home hand sits under the local hand when the times agree; the flyback reset at four o'clock; and the gold bracelet for stretch, link wear and polishing that has softened the brushed and polished edges. An Extract from the Archives can be requested from Patek for the individual watch.

How we source a Patek Philippe Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph

  1. Brief

    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.

  2. Source

    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.

  3. Verify

    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.

  4. Settle and deliver

    Bank transfer in any major currency, or crypto. Collection in London or fully insured delivery, agreed for the watch and the destination.

Source any other luxury watch

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.

Frequently asked questions

Which dial does the 5990/1R come with?

Sunburst blue only. Patek lists the 5990/1R-001 with one dial, horizontally embossed, with rose gold markers and hands.

How does it differ from the steel 5990/1A?

The movement, complications and case dimensions are the same. The 5990/1R is rose gold with a sunburst blue dial and rose gold markers; the steel watch has white gold markers and a blue-grey dial on the current -011, black gradient on the earlier -001.

How water-resistant is it?

Patek now rates it to 30 m, as it does all its water-resistant watches. At its launch in 2021 it was quoted at 120 m.

Can the bracelet be swapped for a strap?

Not as made: the rose gold bracelet is integrated into the case design, and Patek lists no strap version of the 5990 in rose gold.

Can I pay in crypto?

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.
