Lot Essay
Originally introduced in 1976 as reference 3700, the Patek Philippe Nautilus was a groundbreaking watch that strived for luxury and modernity through the use of steel and an integrated bracelet. Over the decades, the timepiece underwent minor changes until the introduction of reference 5711 in 2006. The model marked the 30th year anniversary of the storied timepiece and signified a new era for the watch.
The present lot, reference 5711/1A-001 has a steel, three-part case construction complimented with an integrated bracelet. The dial is gradient blue in color with dynamic horizontal grooves that play with light. The pattern is meant to evoke the teak wood decks on boats, and the blue color adds to the oceanic nautical theme of the watch. Reference 5711 is a bold, contemporary timepiece ready to wear on any occasion. Measuring a thickness under 9mm, the integrated steel bracelet watch is extremely comfortable, which aids with a streamline fit on the wrist.
