To commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Nautilus, Patek Philippe launched a series of new models for the occasion, including the well acclaimed 5711, the complicated 5712 and the 5980, the first chronograph in the Nautilus family. In 2013, the 5980 received a luxurious upgrade in full pink gold, as offered in the present example.


Aside from its phenomenal presence, one will be sure to notice a small detail on the dial which makes the present watch even more remarkable - the printing of the text "Tiffany & Co.", the prestigious luxury retailer. Back in 1851, Antoine Norbert de Patek ventured to the North American market in search of the right retailer for his complicated pocket watches. Upon visiting the Tiffany boutique in New York, a firm handshake between him and Charles Lewis Tiffany started this legendary collaboration. To date, the two firms have worked together for over 170 years, and Tiffany & Co. remains the only official retailer in the United States to be entrusted with their signature stamped on a Patek Philippe timepiece. Impressive and admirable, this double signed wristwatch represents a privileged collaboration and is perfect for all watch collectors.
