To the best of our knowledge the present lot is fresh to the market. Launched in 2006 and paying tribute to the iconic Nautilus reference 3700 designed by Gerald Genta in 1976, the reference 5711 was crafted with a three part case of slightly larger thickness than the reference 3700 and features a sapphire display back revealing the caliber 324 S C. Now featuring a sweep centre second’s mechanism added to the date function, the wristwatch quickly grasped the likes of Patek Philippe collectors, now highly coveted and considered as a must-have within contemporary collections. In 2019, Patek upgraded the movement from caliber 324 S C to caliber 26-300 S C. The ref. 5711 was discontinued 2021 and thus this reference is becoming more highly desirable.
