  • Catalogue Essay

    An icon for Patek Philippe, the Nautilus has become the paradigm of luxury sports watch. As one of the most distinguished model with rich history, the modern Nautilus 5711 has enjoyed many variants before its discontinuation. The present Nautilus is one more the more dressier variant from its family. Cased in precious gold, the ref. 5711 drops its usual metal bracelet and highlights itself with an elegant crocodile strap in 2007 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Nautilus. Three versions debuted to complement the combination of the precious metal used: silver dial for yellow gold, brown charcoal for rose gold and cool slate grey for the white gold. In additional a novel design of the clasp engraved with Nautilus was made especially for this release.

    Considered to be a stealth version amongst the trio, the present white gold 5711G-001 has an extra touch that makes this the rarest of all. Featuring a slate grey ribbed dial that hones all Nautilus DNA, it is stamped with the prestigious Tiffany & Co. signature at 6 o’clock. The two names, Patek Philippe and Tiffany & Co. have long been grails amongst collectors’ circles. The present 5711G-001 from circa 2012 is in excellent overall condition and is furthermore part of the earlier examples bearing the Geneva seal.

    Paired with a black crocodile strap, the Nautilus becomes more versatile, enabling the watch to go from dress to casual depending on the wearers sartorial attire. Rarer than its stainless steel sibling, this is the first 5711G-001 with Tiffany & Co stamp to be auctioned at PHILLIPS, and is certain to become as coveted or even more than the latter.
