Shown in stainless steel with a black gradient dial, this Patek Philippe Nautilus 5990/1A Travel Time super clone pairs home and local time with a flyback chronograph. This steel Nautilus 5990/1A replica brings Travel Time functionality to the Nautilus in a 40.5mm stainless steel case with a black-to-charcoal gradient dial. Reference 5990/1A-001 adds dual time zone tracking and a flyback chronograph to the Nautilus platform, making it one of the most functionally loaded references in the collection. Patek Philippe pairs the steel case with a black gradient dial for a neutral reading surface, and the result is a watch that carries serious mechanical capability without the visual density of a cluttered face. The horizontal embossing texture runs across the dark gradient surface, maintaining the Nautilus DNA despite the additional subdials and pushers.

Case & Movement Specs

• Dial: black-to-charcoal gradient with horizontal embossing

The 40.5mm case accommodates the chronograph and travel time movement in the same footprint as the 5980 chronograph. Pushers integrated into the case band maintain the smooth Nautilus silhouette rather than protruding like traditional chronograph buttons.

Caliber Breakdown

The 5990 houses a self-winding flyback chronograph caliber with a second time zone complication layered on top. Flyback means the chronograph can be reset and restarted in a single pusher press, skipping the stop-reset-start sequence of conventional chronographs. The dual time zone function uses a home-time hand that can be set independently of local time. For those who want the Nautilus travel capability without the chronograph, the 5711G-001 in white gold offers a cleaner dial at 40mm. Both are part of the Nautilus family, but the 5990 is the one built for frequent travelers who also want elapsed-time tracking.

How It Compares

Against the 5980 chronograph that preceded it, the 5990 adds travel time while keeping the same 40.5mm case. Against the time-only steel 5711/1A, it adds pushers and subdials while staying within half a millimeter of the same diameter. The black gradient dial keeps the steel 5990 understated next to the blue-dial steel Nautilus references. This Nautilus 5990/1A Travel Time replica delivers the highest complication density available in the Nautilus lineup without exceeding 41mm.
