Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711 Discontinued

The Nautilus, a symbol of elegance in sports watches since 1976, boasts a rich collection for both men and women. Crafted in steel, rose gold, white gold, or two-tone combinations, these timepieces accompany active lifestyles with unparalleled class.

Nautilus 5711/1A-001 Stainless Steel: The Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711/1A-001 Stainless Steel watch epitomizes the essence of an elegant sports watch. Introduced in 1976, the Nautilus features a distinctive rounded octagonal bezel, a porthole-inspired case construction, and a horizontally embossed dial—becoming the epitome of luxury and sophistication.

As a leading Swiss watchmaker, Patek Philippe seamlessly combines cutting-edge innovations with traditional watchmaking techniques to create exceptional timepieces. The blue-dial 5711, powered by caliber 26‑330 S C, is a stunning example. It includes a date aperture, center sweep second hand, luminescent coating, and curved paddle hour and minute hands.

Exceptional Craftsmanship: Encased in sapphire crystal on both the front and viewable case back, the watch is water-resistant up to 120 meters. With a case diameter of 40 mm (10-4 o’clock) and a height of 8.3 mm, it exudes a perfect balance of form and function.

Meticulously crafted in Switzerland using top-grade vulcanized rubber, these straps ensure a seamless fit with no gaps or movement.

Farewell to the 5711: Patek Philippe bid farewell to the iconic 5711, culminating in the Tiffany Blue edition—a true collector’s item with only 170 pieces produced. As evident from Patek’s website, the 5711 is no longer part of the collection, marking the end of an era.

The Successor: Patek Philippe 5811/1G

Following the discontinuation of the revered Nautilus 5711, Patek Philippe swiftly introduced its successor, the 5811/1G, now crafted in white gold. The shift in material from stainless steel to white gold marks a significant change, aligning the watch’s price with its true market value.

Reasons for the Change: Patek Philippe’s decision to transition to white gold allows for a more accurate pricing strategy, addressing concerns of the 5711’s popularity leading to inflated prices in the secondary market. The new Nautilus is priced at $69,785, reflecting a balance between profitability and maintaining the brand’s independence.

Long-Term Vision: Patek Philippe’s President, Thierry Stern, emphasizes the brand’s commitment to long-term sustainability. The move away from producing only steel watches aims to safeguard the brand’s stability and prevent potential risks associated with a low average price.

Next Generation Nautilus: The anticipation builds as Patek Philippe prepares to unveil the Nautilus 6711, the speculated successor to the 5711. Expected to feature refined design elements and a new in-house automatic movement, the 6711 continues the legacy of its predecessor.

In Retrospect: The Legacy of the 5711

Enduring Popularity: The Nautilus 5711, despite its discontinuation, leaves an indelible mark on the watch world. Its popularity, driven by scarcity and demand, led to unprecedented aftermarket prices, making it a sought-after collector’s item.

Patek Philippe’s Strategic Decision: Patek Philippe’s decision to cease 5711 production was strategic, and aimed at preventing an unstable market bubble. The brand promises a superior successor in the form of the 6711, reinforcing its commitment to excellence.

Final Thoughts: While the Nautilus 5711 bids adieu, its legacy endures. Patek Philippe’s foresight in managing market dynamics ensures the brand’s continued prestige. As we await the arrival of the Nautilus 6711, the watch world remains captivated by the timeless allure of Patek Philippe.
