The iconic design of the Nautilus was created by Gerald Genta. He had a crucial influence on the watch world thanks to some of his famous designs, which also included the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak in 1972. Genta’s design for the Nautilus was inspired by portholes on ships. The first iteration of the Nautilus was the reference 3700, which was released in 1976. At the time, it was a ground-breaking approach, especially considering the quartz crisis hitting the traditional Swiss industry. Watch brands such as Patek Philippe felt the need to offer something different. Ultimately this audacious move paid off and the Nautilus quickly became a central piece in many collections.

In 2006, 30 years after the initial release of the Nautilus ‘Jumbo’, Patek introduced the reference 5711/1A which became an instant success subject to an extensive waiting list.

The model was eventually discontinued in 2021.

The first 5711 produced, until 2009, were adorned by the Geneva seal before Patek Philippe replaced it to their own seal.

Pieces from that first production period, such as the present lot, are particularly sought-after by enthusiasts.


This superb Nautilus reference 5711 is preserved in attractive condition, having been recently serviced by Patek Philippe.

Complete with certificate and presentation case, the present lot is an exciting opportunity for discerning collectors.
