Patek Philippe’s Nautilus wristwatch was released in 1976, quickly becoming an instant success that has been a mainstay of the brand’s product line ever since. The Gérald Genta-designed luxury sports watch took its inspiration from Captain Nemo’s Nautilus submarine from Jules Verne’s Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. Over the ensuing years, the Nautilus continued to evolve, with many different variants such as the brand’s first Nautilus with a complication, the reference 3710 with power reserve, released in 1998. The present Nautilus reference 5711P/1P was released in 2016 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Nautilus and pays tribute to the first Nautilus “Jumbo” reference 3700/1A with date. For this special occasion, the watch is cased in luxurious platinum and features elegant and tasteful diamond-set hour markers. Released alongside another special edition Nautilus, the reference 5976/1G chronograph in white gold, they were offered in a limited edition of 700 examples for the platinum 5711P/1P and 1300 examples for the white gold 5796/1G. Both watches feature a blue dial with baguette diamond hour markers, and “1976-40-2016” embossed on the dial at six o’clock. Offered by the original owner, the timepiece is complete with its certificate of origin and cork presentation box. This is a rare opportunity to own an important, milestone Nautilus model.
