  • Catalogue Essay

    To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Nautilus, Patek Philippe introduced the new ref. 5711 replacing its former ref. 3700 and 3710. Launched alongside the ref. 5711 were the 5712 and 5980, which are all extremely sought after in the market today. Upgraded with an in-house self-winding movement cal. 324 S C replacing its former Jaeger-LeCoultre based caliber featured in the ref. 3700. Additionally, the ref. 5711 is fitted with a sapphire caseback enabling the wearer to admire the in-house caliber in action. With most aesthetics very similar to the original, the bracelet was further refined and the case adopted a slightly rounder appearance.

    The present example is presented in double factory sealed condition and is brand new. It is extremely hard to source examples that remain double factory sealed as strict regulations require the seal to be cut open at the boutique upon purchase. Accompanied by the full set of accessories, it is a great opportunity for seekers of the reference to skip the long queue and acquire a brand new example at instance.
