Catalogue Essay
Reference 5711 in white gold is the “evening version” of what can be defined as one of the most - if not the most - collectible sports watch on the current market. This dressier version is highlighted by a leather strap rather than the usual metal bracelet, furthermore fitted with a special "Nautilus" clasp.
Already a staple of the most distinguished collections worldwide, reference 5711 has enjoyed even more attention since the discontinuation of the steel model with blue dial this year. Considering that the gold-on-strap versions had already been discontinued, as was the steel version with white dial, this leaves only the 5711 in pink gold with bracelet in the current Patek Philippe catalogue, even though an educated guess would potentially indicate the incoming discontinuation of that last version as well.
