Manufactured for only two years between 2007 and 2009, reference 5711G is one of the rarest of time-only Nautilus. The present white gold version is further elevated to the highest level by the additional signature of legendary New York jeweller Tiffany & Co. Collectors will also appreciate its superb condition and full set of accessories. Extremely hard to find, this watch represents a remarkable opportunity for the determined collector to possess a wristwatch that is already part of Patek Philippe’s mythology.
Patek Philippe’s Nautilus is perhaps the most desired model of all the company’s production wristwatches, indeed it is one of the ultimate luxury status symbols in the world. Reference 5711 was introduced as a steel watch in 2006 in homage to the first Nautilus model, reference 3700. Although almost identical in appearance to the iconic first Nautilus reference, the new 5711 has several differences including a 1 mm. wider three-part case and transparent sapphire crystal screw back in order to admire the beauty of the caliber 315 SC movement. In celebration of the 30th anniversary of the Nautilus in 2007, three new versions in precious metal were released in yellow gold, pink gold and white gold. Highlighting Patek Philippe’s great attention to design detail, each precious metal 5711 had a specific dial colour; silver for the yellow gold, brown charcoal for the pink gold and slate grey for the white gold version. Another new development for these anniversary Nautilus was the deployant clasp which is adjustable in order to ensure a perfect fit.
The present watch, offered in immaculate condition and double-signed for Tiffany & Co. is a major prize for those who insist upon only the most exclusive of Patek Philippe’s ever more desirable Nautilus.
