PATEK PHILIPPE, STAINLESS STEEL 'NAUTILUS', REF. 5711/1A

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 and one millimeter wider than the reference 3700, to which it is practically identical on an aesthetical level, but featuring a sapphire display back. Now with a sweep centre seconds mechanism added to the date function, the model quickly focused the attention of Patek Philippe collectors, it is now highly sought after and considered as a must-have within contemporary collections.
