The reference 5711 in platinum, made to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Nautilus, can be considered the capstone for a serious collection of these porthole-inspired models which are extremely popular today and very difficult to source in retail boutiques. Fantastic on the wrist, it keeps the sleek and discreet Nautilus appearance despite being crafted from platinum and having baguette diamond indexes. In fact, these do not exaggerate the watch, but rather blend in well with the brighter and stronger blue dial that was specially made for the 40th anniversary of the Nautilus. 

The present lot is part of a limited edition of 700 pieces only, and is offered in a very attractive condition as a full set with the original cork box and Certificate of Origin.
