  • Catalogue Essay

    One does not have to be a watch enthusiast to recognise the Nautilus and be a fan of it. Released in 2006, the ref. 5800 was launched with other important milestone contemporary Nautilus models, such as the ref. 5711, 5980 and 5712, marking the return of the coveted mid-sized variant, previously known as the ref. 3800.

    This reference is a transitional model that combines the elements of the past and present and was only produced for a year. Encased in stainless steel, the ref. 5800 is a rare bird that retains its timeless aesthetic of a monobloc case with an integrated sapphire caseback.

    The 38mm case of the present model is slightly larger than the fun-sized original, which featured a 37.5mm diameter case. Keeping its signature blued ribbed dial, the firm’s in-house cal drives the movement underneath. 330 SC is equipped with a straight-line lever escapement, shock absorbing mechanism, a flat balance spring with self-compensating, a monometallic balance, and the firm’s classic gold rotor, ensuring robustness and quality timekeeping.

    The present Nautilus ref. 5800 from circa 2007 is offered in excellent overall condition and complete with its full set of accessories. This is the ideal opportunity for collectors of rare and prominent timepieces to acquire one of the most exotic stainless steel Nautilus models ever produced.
