In excellent overall condition, the present timepiece is part of an important Swiss private collection and is offered with its original certificate and box. Purchased directly from the Patek Philippe Geneva Salon, the wristwatch represents a rare opportunity for collectors to acquire the avidly coveted reference 5711 in stainless steel.
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.
