Description

The present model reference 5990/1421G-001 is a high jewellery variant of the Travel Time Nautilus—an out of catalogue piece produced in a very limited series and reserved exclusively for VVIP clientele.

What sets the present watch apart is the 40.5mm white gold case and bracelet, factory-set with spectacular baguette-cut blue sapphires and diamonds. The bezel, dial and signature Nautilus bracelet links are entirely transformed by the rhythm of deep-blue gemstones, contrasted by an extraordinary diamond “carpet” flowing across the case and bracelet to create a vivid, high-impact composition that remains unmistakably Patek Philippe in execution.

As with all of the brand’s gem-set creations, the standard is uncompromising. Every stone is hand-set with exceptional precision to achieve perfect alignment, continuity and brilliance, with diamonds selected to the brand’s exacting criteria for colour and purity. The dial features a gradient black finish with sapphire hour markers, offering a striking backdrop to the Travel Time display and chronograph indications—complications that define the 5990 as one of the most desirable Nautilus references for collectors who value both utility and presence.

Powering these functions is the CH 28-520 C calibre, visible through the sapphire case-back, showcasing the refinement of Patek Philippe’s modern chronograph architecture alongside the practicality of dual-time travel.

Geared towards the most exclusive collectors and lovers of vibrant, gem-set Nautilus pieces, this dazzling timepiece secures to the wrist with its double deployant Nautilus clasp. A true show-stopper with unmistakable wrist presence, the present watch stands out as a rare and highly collectible statement.

Available with its warranty certificate and box. Viewing can be arranged strictly by appointment.
