  • Catalogue Essay

    Introduced in 2006, the reference 5711 featured new innovations and updated the Nautilus for modern times, with some slight variations between it and the original reference 3700. Instead of the original two-piece monobloc case, the 5711 was constructed with a three-piece case that allowed for easier assembly, servicing, and an exhibition caseback. It also measured 1mm wider than the original 3700, and was 0.7mm thicker. The 5711 was powered by an in-house self-winding movement, the robust caliber 324 SC, which included a center seconds indication for the first time. A higher-grade of steel was used for improved corrosion resistance, and the bracelet was upgraded and refined, with the center links slightly flattened and the buckle now triple folding.

    Arguably one of the most coveted modern timepieces and recently discontinued, the present example is offered by its original owner and complete with all its original accessories.
