Catalogue Essay
Launched at Baselworld in 2015, the reference 5711/1R was the first Nautilus to be cased in pink gold with bracelet. The dial, a rich “chocolate” brown, was also a first for the reference, and has remained a popular pairing for Patek Philippe, with models from the Aquanaut to the Grand Complication reference 6002 receiving this color combination.
Never before seen on the auction market, the present 5711/1R is only the 11th example to appear publicly. Recently discontinued by the manufacturer, it has yet to have a successor reference named. The present example on offer, preserved in outstanding condition, is accompanied by all of its original accessories.
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.
