About the price index Nautilus 5990 Patek Philippe
The Patek Philippe Nautilus 5990 follows the design lineage created by Gérald Genta, with a more technical interpretation than the basic Nautilus thanks to the Travel Time function and the flyback chronograph. The reference 5990/1A-001 in steel combines dual time zone, date, day/night indication, and chronograph in a 40 mm case, powered by the automatic calibre CH 28-520 C FUS, rated for at least 45 hours of power reserve[1]. On the pre-owned market in Europe, this combination of complications, horological signature, and highly controlled production explains a generally quick resale when the watch is complete and well-preserved[1][3][6]. Its value primarily depends on the condition of the case and bracelet, the presence of box/papers, the material version, and the most sought-after references, with steel remaining the most liquid configuration[1][2][6]. Observed steel examples are priced around 95,000 to 112,000 € for pre-owned pieces in good condition, while the most desirable versions or conditions can climb significantly higher[1][2][5][6].

Reading the Nautilus 5990 Patek Philippe price guide
The range observed for Nautilus 5990 Patek Philippe runs from €95,000 to €250,000, with a median of €112,000 — a 2.6× gap between entry-level examples and the most sought-after ones. That spread is normal: on this model, condition, material and year weigh more heavily than the reference itself.
In practice, a piece below the median usually shows accepted signs of wear or a common configuration; above it you find rare colours, precious hardware and complete sets with the original box and invoice.
What pushes the Nautilus 5990 price guide up
- Full set: box, warranty, spare links and original invoice
- Unpolished case, original edges and a dial with no relume
- Exact year and reference (dial transition, calibre)
- Recent service documented by an approved watchmaker
Selling a Nautilus 5990 Patek Philippe at the right price
We offer two options on this model. Outright purchase, settled within 72h once the piece is authenticated, suits anyone who wants an immediate exit. Consignment aims for the top of the range: the piece is photographed, promoted and sold with a commission that decreases with your membership card.
The pre-owned watch market has normalised since the 2022 peaks: steel sports references keep a premium, while gold and dress models currently offer the best entry points.

Every piece that joins Monogram Paris follows the same protocol in our Paris workshops: no catalogue photography, no supplier imagery, only shots of the actual item.
