The now discontinued Patek Philippe Nautilus 5980/1R-001

Patek Philippe Nautilus Chronograph 5980/1R
Since its launch at Baselworld in 2013, this full rose gold with black
fume dial 5980/1R occupied the top tier of the Nautilus "wanted list". Having spent the last few years soaring far above RRP it has just
been discontinued by Patek.
Stats are a very comfortable 40.5 wide, 12.5mm tall with a length of
51mm including the integrated end links. It's notably chunkier than the 5711 which is renowned for being a slim piece, but this is to be expected as it's movement is more complex which has led to an increase in case size and a thicker bracelet for balance. It wears its additional weight incredibly well and is super comfortable, so ideal for a weekend wandering around
Hong Kong.
It uses a pin and collar system for link removal rather than screwed in bars which is more of a pain in the bum to size, but the trade off there is more security as with screwed bars theres always an outside chance that these can work loose with wear and the last thing you want to drop on tile or concrete is a Nautilus.
Although this is a whistle stop tour of this particular reference, the conclusion is a glowing one - its a beast of a Nautilus and if not replaced, will be sorely missed.
