Catalogue Essay
At first glance the platinum 5711 may look like its stainless steel sibling, but subtle details set it apart, showing just how exclusive and important the watch really is.
Whereas the dial of the steel watch is blue/ grey, the dial of the platinum model is vivid blue contrasting beautifully with the platinum case. Other subtle details demonstrate that Patek Philippe considers this watch to be truly apart and has extra touches that add up to make all the difference, such as the logo printing on the dial. Whereas on the steel version the logo is directly printed on the fluting of the dial, with the platinum version, a flat recessed area has been created for the logo print. The bevels on the case and bracelet are more prominent than on the steel version and like with all platinum Patek Philippe models, a small diamond on the case at 6 o’clock indicated the use of this precious metal.
But what truly sets this example apart from all others is a tiny detail found on the dial: the coveted Tiffany & Co. stamp. Only six examples of the 5711/1P-010 have appeared at auction, and the present example is the very first to appear with a Tiffany & Co. stamp. Furthermore, this timepiece is factory single-sealed and offered from the collection of the original owner.
With only four examples of the ref. 5711/1P-010 believed to have ever been sold by Tiffany & Co., every box of rarity and condition is ticked for this incredibly rare platinum Nautilus – making it an ultimate trophy watch for the intrepid and distinguished collector.
