Footnotes
In 2016 the legendary Nautilus celebrated its 40th Anniversary. To observe this significant date within the models history, Patek Philippe launched two new references - the 5711/1P and the 5976/1G. The current lot represents the first reference and is offered at auction for the first time.
The most distinctive characteristic of the 5711/1P is the embossed 40 1976-2016 that spans the lower half of the iconic ridged blue dial. There is no doubt that this reference plays a special part in the Nautilus history and Patek Philippes commitment to celebrating this is commendable. The dial also features twelve baguette cut diamonds for the hour markers which add to the distinction and luxury of this reference.
The overriding design embodies the previous iterations of the 5711 and this extends to the use of the same celebrated 324 SC calibre inside. However, the exterior of this Anniversary model takes a level up by housing the watch in a solid platinum case and bracelet. Creating an unmissable presence, the 5711/1P certainly has substance.
Produced in a more limited volume than its Anniversary counterpart 5976/1G chronograph, the 5711/1P was limited to just 700 pieces. These were available only to their most loyal and steadfast clients and as such this reference rarely appears at auction.
