  • Catalogue Essay

    There are watches which have reached such a level of recognition in the collecting community that their designs are immediately recognisable and have become a collecting category of their own. The Royal Oak, Speedmaster, Reverso, Daytona and of course Nautilus are such kinds of models.

    Reference 5711 was launched in 2006 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Nautilus. Inspired by the classic sporty design of the original reference 3700 Jumbo Nautilus, the present updated modern reference featured sweep center seconds and a larger case

    In the years leading to its recent discontinuation, the success of reference 5711 has exploded to the point that waiting lists were more than ten years long propelling the model to new heights.

    Preserved in excellent condition, this timepiece, produced during the early production years, is also accompanied by its original accessories and preserved in excellent barely worn condition.

    Patek Philippe

    Swiss • 1839

    Since its founding in 1839, this famous Geneva-based firm has been surprising its clientele with superbly crafted timepieces fitted with watchmaking's most prestigious complications. Traditional and conservative designs are found across Patek Philippe's watches made throughout their history — the utmost in understated elegance.

    Well-known for the Graves Supercomplication — a highly complicated pocket watch that was the world’s most complicated watch for 50 years — this family-owned brand has earned a reputation of excellence around the world. Patek's complicated vintage watches hold the highest number of world records for results achieved at auction compared with any other brand. For collectors, key models include the reference 1518, the world's first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph, and its successor, the reference 2499. Other famous models include perpetual calendars such as the ref. 1526, ref. 3448 and 3450, chronographs such as the reference 130, 530 and 1463, as well as reference 1436 and 1563 split seconds chronographs. Patek is also well-known for their classically styled, time-only "Calatrava" dress watches, and the "Nautilus," an iconic luxury sports watch first introduced in 1976 as the reference 3700 that is still in production today.
