Lot Essay
The Patek Philippe Nautilus is perhaps the most desired model of all the company’s production wristwatches, indeed it is one of the ultimate luxury status symbols in the world. Every Nautilus wristwatch of every reference is incredibly prized, however, even in the rarefied realm of the Nautilus family there are the superstars, these Nautilus models are beyond desirable, inhabiting the stratosphere of luxury watchmaking.
A ‘double-first’ for Patek Philippe is this 2021 stainless steel Nautilus reference 5711/1300A-001. The first time that a Nautilus has featured the ultra-desirable ‘sunburst olive-green’ dial colour and the first time that Patek Philippe introduced a diamond-set stainless steel watch to their catalogue. The bezel is set with 32 flawless Top Wesselton baguette diamonds, each specially cut to shape in order to follow the contours of the Nautilus bezel perfectly. The overall combination of stainless steel case and bracelet coupled with the olive-green dial and scintillating baguette diamonds is simply breathtaking.
To the best of our knowledge, the present watch is the first example of this exceptional baguette diamond-set steel Nautilus to be offered at international auction. Almost impossible to obtain, Christie’s is therefore honoured and delighted to be able to offer this full set watch to collectors and present the perfect opportunity to obtain the unobtainable without waitlist or delay.
The present watch is the most recent development of the gem-set Nautilus and it was announced at Watches and Wonders in 2021 as one of the two final models of reference 5711 discontinued the same year. The specific reference 5711-1300A-001 was given to the model which sports the same ‘sunburst olive-green’ dial as the plain stainless steel 5711/1A-014 version launched at the same time. The appearance of the olive-green dial on the Nautilus caused a sensation among collectors and naturally these references were an immediate success. The model is powered by the caliber 26-330 SC self-winding movement with date, sweep seconds and a power reserve of 35–45 hours.
Seen only on the wrists of selected A-list celebrities and great sportsmen, baguette diamond bezel Nautilus are one of the greatest standout statement watches that money can buy. Made only for a very short period, this very remarkable stainless steel and diamond reference 5711-1300A-001 is likely to be one of the most difficult to find and most exclusive of all modern Nautilus.
