  • Catalogue Essay

    It is common knowledge in the world of watch collecting that the Nautilus is one of the most intensively sought-after timepieces on the planet. Owning a Nautilus is by now a mark of distinction, a “badge” of sorts that identifies the wearer as a true collector. When one considers that the status which accompanies this model is merged with its incredible aesthetics - rendering it one of the most versatile models ever designed by Patek Philippe, it is easy to understand the incredible appeal of the piece.

    Even in this rarefied world made of endless waiting lists and incredibly strict allocation systems, there are different levels of rarity. While indeed some Nautilus models are more collectible than others, the true endgame lies within the “out of catalogue” products. It is relatively common practice on part of Patek Philippe to occasionally offer to their most important clients the opportunity of buying watches that are not part of the public collection, but rather made in extremely low numbers and offered directly to the client, if she or he is deemed worthy. In fact, the genesis of the platinum 5711 is exactly this one: before being offered as an Anniversary limited edition, few pieces were discreetly made for special customers.

    The present watch can be considered an evolution of that first platinum model. In the late 2010s, the company began to produce gem-set platinum models (fitted with either emeralds, rubies, sapphires or diamonds), at the beginning fitted with white dials before moving on to the present black dial. The contrast of the black dial with the sparkling stone and the lustrous platinum case is simply breathtaking.

    Representing the ultimate tier in terms both of aesthetics and collectability as well, the present piece is without a doubt one of the most impressive and hard to acquire timepieces made by the company and would be the “crown jewel” of any sport’s watch collection.

    All proceeds exceeding the cost for the consignor will be donated to charities supporting access to medical care for families in need and orphanages.

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.
