The Patek Philippe Nautilus 5980/1A-014 super clone is the steel flyback chronograph whose only counter sits at 6 and reads both 60 minutes and 12 hours on two concentric scales. The listing writes the reference as 59801A-014; the watch on the photo is the 5980/1A-014, with pushers at 2 and 4 set into the case flank, a black gradient dial that takes on a blue-black cast under the camera, horizontal embossing, a white date window at 3 and a silver-ringed counter with red numerals. Case and bracelet are stainless steel, as on the genuine.

5980/1A Chronograph vs 5711/1A: What Does the Flyback Add?

Next to the three-hand 5711/1A, the 5980/1A is half a millimetre wider at 40.5 mm and clearly taller, 12.2 mm against 8.3 mm on the genuine pair, so it sits higher under a cuff. In exchange you get timing: the pusher at 2 starts and stops, the one at 4 resets, and pressing 4 while the chronograph runs sends the hand back to zero and restarts it in one move. There is no running small seconds, so the central hand stays still until you start it. Our 5980/1A costs 999 against 349 for the time-only 5711/1A, and its clone runs about 46 hours on a full wind against roughly 42.

Does the chronograph on the 5980 super clone really work?

Yes. The clone Cal. CH 28-520 starts, stops and resets, and the central seconds hand and the counter at 6 move together; ask for a function video before shipping to see the flyback reset.

Is a 59801A-014 the same watch as the 5980/1A-014 replica?

Yes. 59801A-014 is the same reference with the slash dropped; Patek writes it 5980/1A-014.

The same chronograph in other finishes: the rose gold tone 5980 on a matching bracelet with a black-brown dial, the two-tone steel and rose gold tone 5980 with a blue dial and the steel 5980 with a white dial on black leather. See the full Patek Philippe Nautilus replica collection.
