Introduced in 2022, the Patek Philippe Nautilus Reference 5811/1G-001 marks a new chapter in the history of one of the manufacture’s most celebrated designs. Created in 18k white gold and measuring 41 mm in diameter, the model serves as the only current Jumbo time-only Nautilus model offered by the company and is the successor to legendary reference 5711 (albeit the latter was in stainless steel).
It appears to be among the most hard-to-come-by current Nautilus references, as evidenced by its auction appearances: in the near-five years since its launch, the model went under the gavel only 4 times - making this example the fifth public example to appear at auction.
The watch features the signature horizontally embossed blue dial, framed by applied white-gold hour markers and complemented by the characteristic rounded-octagonal case and integrated bracelet. Powered by the self-winding calibre 26-330 S C, the Reference 5811 combines contemporary mechanical sophistication with the enduring design language established by the original Nautilus.
Presented entirely in white gold, the 5811/1G offers a modern interpretation of the classic Nautilus aesthetic, balancing understated elegance, technical refinement, and the exceptional finishing for which Patek Philippe is renowned. The present watch is preserved in excellent condition and accompanied by its original accessories.
