  • Catalogue Essay

    The Nautilus needs no introduction - even for non-enthusiasts, its allure is undeniable. In 2006, Patek Phillippe launched ref. 5800 alongside epochal contemporary models like the ref. 5711, 5980 and 5712, heralding the return of the coveted mid-size variant, previously known as ref. 3800.

    This reference represents a transitional fusion of past and present, with a mere one-year production run. Encased in stainless steel, the ref. 5800 retains the timeless aesthetic of the monobloc case and integrated sapphire display caseback.

    At 38mm diameter, the present example's case is slightly larger than the original fun-sized 37.5mm diameter, yet keeps the signature deep blue ribbed dial. Within beats Patek Philippe's cal. 330 SC, bearing the prestigious Geneva Seal.

    Offered in barely worn condition complete with its full set of accessories, this 2007 Nautilus ref. 5800 represents an ideal opportunity for discerning collectors to acquire one of the most exotic stainless steel iterations of this iconic model ever produced. Its rare pedigree, transitional status and remarkable condition beckon those who appreciate prominent Patek Philippe milestones encapsulating the old and new.

  • Artist Biography

    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.
