  • Catalogue Essay

    Being one of the most talked about timepieces in the past decade, the Patek Philippe Nautilus ref. 5711 was originally introduced by the firm in 2006. While the story of the Nautilus began in the mid-1970s via the famous ref. 3700, it was only until recent times that the model became the icon of the decade gaining a global recognition that has exponentially grown over the past few years. Featuring its classic design that differs only slightly from its forefather, the ref. 5711 features a utilitarian 40mm diameter stainless steel case paired beautifully with its iconic bracelet housing its popular greyish blue ribbed dial. Recently discontinued entirely in 2021 making way for the final edition featuring a green dial only produced for a year, the firm released their new ref. 5811/1G-001 in white gold featuring a slightly larger case and a new extendable clasp.

    Fresh-to-the-market, the present Patek Philippe Nautilus ref. 5711/1A-010 from circa 2017 is the 60th example to be identified and is offered in excellent overall condition that has only been worn no more than a handful of times, further complete with its full set of accessories.
