Catalogue Essay
Reference 5711 is the modern iteration of the first true sport's watch by Patek Philippe: the Nautilus. Launched in 1976 with reference 3700, and at the time marketed as the world most expensive steel watch, the model - together with its Audemars Piguet counterpart: the Royal Oak - effectively reshaped the wristwatch market, launching the luxury sport's watch category, today a staple of many brands but back then simply non-existent.
Arguably one of the most coveted modern timepieces, the years long waiting list at Patek Philippe retailers are testament to the ever growing interest of the public for the model. The present example is offered by its original owner - an important Asian collector - in excellent condition and complete of its original sale kit.

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.
