Catalogue Essay
Introduced in 2006, the Nautilus reference 5711 featured new innovations and updated the historic “Jumbo” model for modern times, with some slight variations between the two models. Instead of the original two-piece monobloc case used for the reference 3700, the 5711 was constructed with a three-piece case that allowed for easier assembly, servicing, and an exhibition case back. It also measured 1mm wider than the original 3700, and was 0.7mm thicker. The 5711 was powered by an in-house self-winding movement, the robust caliber 324 SC, which permitted a center seconds indication for the first time. The bracelet was upgraded and refined, with the center links slightly flattened and the buckle now triple folding.
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.
The present 5711/1R is fresh-to-the-market and preserved in excellent condition, offered complete with all of its original accessories.
