Catalogue Essay
It is fair to say that today collectors are seeing a new dimension in the Nautilus collection as 2022 marks the 45th anniversary for the famed model with the anticipation that a new chapter will be introduced marking an end to one of the greatest and most iconic periods of the Nautilus. The past decade has been an interesting one for the Nautilus, where the market witnessed the rise in demand and value on a whole new level, new complications implemented and finally, record breaking auction results.

First launched in 1976, the Patek Philippe Nautilus was the firm’s answer to the rising trend for luxury stainless steel sports watches. Designed by none other than Gearld Genta, the inspiration from a ship’s porthole is one that was familiar through the Royal Oak released four years prior. With that said, the Nautilus is certainly a class of its own featuring a streamlined design that has been refined over the years interpreted through all the references launched.

In 2016, Patek Philippe sent shockwaves through Baselworld when they revealed two limited edition references to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Nautilus via the ref. 5976/1G chronograph (limited to 1,300 pieces) and the 5711/1P-001 (limited to 700 pieces). Both presented with a never seen before shade of blue ribbed dial, with its commemoration dates stamped on the surface “1976-40-2016”, the feature is one that has never been witnessed on a Nautilus model before.

One of the most sought-after Nautilus references in the market today, the ref. 5711/1P-001 has witnessed a tremendous growth in value. With the discontinuation of the ref. 5711, the demand for the reference has sored even more. The present example from circa 2017 is fresh-to-the-market and is offered in “like new” overall condition, complete with its full set of accessories.
