Originally introduced in 1976 as Reference 3700, the Patek Philippe Nautilus was a groundbreaking watch that strived for luxury and modernity through the use of steel and an integrated bracelet. Over the decades, the timepiece underwent minor changes until the introduction of Reference 5711 in 2006. The model marked the 30^th year anniversary of the storied timepiece, and signified a new era for the watch.

The present lot, Reference 5711/1A-010, has a three part construction case crafted from steel with an integrated bracelet. The dial is gradient blue in color with its signature horizontal grooves that play with light. The pattern is meant to evoke the teak wood decks on boats and the color adds to the oceanic nautical theme of the watch. Reference 5711 is a bold and contemporary timepiece ready to wear at any occasion. Measuring under a thickness of 9mm, the integrated bracelet watch is comfortable and has a streamline fit on the wrist. The timepiece covets a “Tiffany & Co.” signature that is subtly placed near 6 o’clock, increasing the rarity of the timepiece.
