Full-Cataloguing
- Well-preserved in hardly worn condition
- The icon which started the stainless steel sports model surge
- The collection is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year
Some watches attain such prominence among collectors that their designs become instantly recognizable and form collecting categories of their own—the Royal Oak, Speedmaster, Reverso, Daytona and notably, the Nautilus.
Introduced in 2006 to mark the Nautilus’s 30th anniversary, reference 5711 updated the classic sporty language of the original ref. 3700 “Jumbo”. The modern ref. 5711 retained the iconic integrated bracelet and ribbed grey-blue dial while adding a central sweep seconds hand and a contemporary 40mm case.
When Patek Philippe discontinued the ref. 5711 in 2021 after a 15-year production run, demand surged dramatically, cementing the model’s status as one of the most sought-after and recognizable modern Patek Philippe creations.
The present example was produced during the model’s mid-production years and is powered by calibre 324 S C. It is preserved in hardly worn condition and offered with its Certificate of Origin and presentation box. With the Nautilus celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, interest in this timeless reference is set to intensify further.
