About the Patek Philippe 5980/1400R-011
The Patek Philippe Nautilus Flyback Chronograph 5980/1400R-011 is a Haute Joaillerie execution of the Nautilus chronograph, presented in rose gold with extensive diamond setting across the case, bezel, dial, and bracelet.
The watch is housed in a rose-gold Nautilus case measuring 40.5 mm in diameter (10–4 o’clock) with a thickness of 12.2 mm. Water resistance is rated to 30 metres. A screw-down crown is fitted, and sapphire crystals are used on both the dial side and the case back.
The dial is finished in sunburst charcoal grey with a black-gradient rim and horizontal embossing. Chronograph indications are arranged in a single monocounter combining the 60-minute and 12-hour displays. Nine baguette-cut diamond hour markers with a total weight of approximately 0.18 carat are applied to the dial. Rose-gold baton-style hands with white luminescent coating indicate the time and chronograph functions. A date aperture is integrated into the display.
Diamond setting includes 100 brilliant-cut diamonds set into the case (approximately 0.76 carat), 32 baguette-cut diamonds set into the bezel (approximately 5.90 carats), and a bracelet set with 793 brilliant-cut diamonds (approximately 3.69 carats) and 150 baguette-cut diamonds (approximately 9.56 carats). In total, the watch incorporates 893 brilliant-cut diamonds (approximately 4.44 carats) and 191 baguette-cut diamonds (approximately 15.64 carats).
