• Stickered clasp
The Nautilus – alongside the first luxury steel sport’s watch models from the 1970s – is a remarkable example of the courage and independence of Swiss watchmakers. Against the backdrop of the quartz crisis and many, if not all the stylistic codes that ruled watchmaking until then, a luxury steel sports watch was created and today is the pillar of the Swiss watchmaking industry, with waiting lists so long that one is unable to merely put their name down for a watch today.
Originally envisioned by genius designer Gerald Genta in 1976, the case design is inspired by a luxury cruiser’s portholes, subtly underlining the marriage of elegance and sporty robustness found in this timepiece.
The present watch is distinguished by the presence of the Tiffany & Co. signature on the dial at 6 o’clock along with its stickered clasp. While a reference 5711 is a rarity itself and already officially discontinued today, the revered retailer's signature brings another level of exclusivity.
Preserved in like-new condition and complete with its full set of accessories including the blue Tiffany & Co. outer box, the present double signed reference 5711 is one of the rarest of all modern Nautilus models.
