Catalogue Essay
One of the most talked-about timepieces of the past decade, the Patek Philippe Nautilus ref. 5711 was first introduced in 2006. While the Nautilus lineage began in the 1970s with the iconic ref. 3700, it was the ref. 5711 that recently cemented its status as an icon, gaining global recognition and exponential demand.
With its classic 40mm stainless steel case and integrated bracelet, the ref. 5711 perpetuates the heritage of the original Gérald Genta design, paired with the popular grayish-blue horizontally ribbed dial. After being discontinued in 2021 and briefly succeeded by a final green dial edition and the talk of the town Tiffany & Co. iteration, the ref. 5711 has made way for the new ref. 5811/1G-001 in white gold with a slightly enlarged case and extendable clasp.
Fresh to market, this circa 2018 example is offered in excellent condition with barely any signs of wear. Complete with its full set of accessories, it represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of Patek Philippe's most revered contemporary models.
