Patek Philippe Nautilus Chronograph 5980A Black.
Black grey or blue dial, I do't know which one I prefer.
But the 5980 probably is my favorite Nautilus. This mono chronograph counter always fascinated me, even if it is less legible than a more conventional one.
Best,

My favorite here would be the white dial, for the exact reason you mentioned, legibility!
The 5980 is the Nautilus that never compromised.
That mono counter at 6 o'clock is what makes it. Sure, it's not as instantly legible as a twin register layout, but that's not the point. It's elegant. It keeps the dial balanced and preserves that Genta spirit. Form and function in perfect tension.
This is the Nautilus for people who actually wear their watches.
Thanks for the share.
I prefer this black dial...
although blue would be more fitting to the Nautilus.
But why not go for the 5960P instead with the added Annual Calendar function and in PT for about half the price?

Indeed a very well designed Nautilius chrono !
Blue dial is iconic and black dial is powerful ! Love how the pushers were designed into the righ ear 👂!
