  • Catalogue Essay

    The white gold reference 5711, like the present lot is a stealth and elegant version of the steel model which has become, even more since its discontinuation, one of the hottest watches currently on the market.
    Its slate grey dial and leather bracelet provide for greater versatility enabling the watch to go from dress to casual depending on the wearers sartorial attire.

    The present example in excellent overall condition is accompanied by its box, full set of documents and was serviced in July 2019. It is furthermore part of the earlier examples bearing the Geneva seal.

    A dressier version of a modern day horological icon the present reference 5711 in white gold has now been discontinued by Patek Philippe. Rarer than its stainless steel sibling, it is certain to become as coveted or even more than the latter.

    Patek Philippe

    Swiss • 1839

    Since its founding in 1839, this famous Geneva-based firm has been surprising its clientele with superbly crafted timepieces fitted with watchmaking's most prestigious complications. Traditional and conservative designs are found across Patek Philippe's watches made throughout their history — the utmost in understated elegance.

    Well-known for the Graves Supercomplication — a highly complicated pocket watch that was the world’s most complicated watch for 50 years — this family-owned brand has earned a reputation of excellence around the world. 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. Other famous models include perpetual calendars such as the ref. 1526, ref. 3448 and 3450, chronographs such as the reference 130, 530 and 1463, as well as reference 1436 and 1563 split seconds chronographs. Patek is also well-known for their classically styled, time-only "Calatrava" dress watches, and the "Nautilus," an iconic luxury sports watch first introduced in 1976 as the reference 3700 that is still in production today.
