PATEK PHILIPPE, REF. 5711/1P-001, NAUTILUS 40th ANNIVERSARY, A VERY FINE AND RARE LIMITED SERIES PLATINUM WRISTWATCH WITH DATE & DIAMOND HOUR MARKERS

Part of the most coveted timepieces of Patek Philippe’s contemporary production, the ref. 5711/1P-001 is one of the “grail” examples for collectors of the Nautilus model. Made in a very limited number, believed to be less than 50, for some of the firms most loyal clients, the reference has to date only been seen three times at public auction, a testimony of its exclusivity. Crafted with a vibrant blue dial, the wristwatch is distinguished from its stainless steel counterparts by featuring a framed date window at 3 o’clock, the “Patek Philippe” and “Geneve” text on a flat surface instead of being often printed over the ribbed pattern as well as diamond set hour markers. Enhancing its exclusivity and appeal, the wristwatch further distinguishes itself through its prominent hallmarks on the case back and its heavy platinum Nautilus bracelet.
