Tim reviews the final version of the Patek 5711 for luxury watch collectors and posterity. This review includes impressions of the Nautilus 5711/1A-010 in its final 2021 specification, an overview of its boxes and papers, and an on-the-wrist review. This guide also offers a frank review of who should buy this watch and alternative watches that might be better than a stainless steel Nautilus 5711. This is “Collector’s Guide: Patek Philippe 5711.” • Launched at Baselworld 2006, the Patek Nautilus 5711 debuted as the thirtieth anniversary Nautilus – a modernized version of Gerald Genta’s 1976 Nautilus 3700 “jumbo.” There’s nothing jumbo about the watch; the Nautilus measures 40mm in diameter and 8.5mm thick. Since day one, the 5711 has been a viable watch for watch collectors with wrists as small as 13.5 centimeters, and unlike larger Nautilus models, the basic auto is suitable for unisex watch collectors. The bracelet of the current 5711 uses pins and sleeves for fixing removable links; prior to 2011, removable links were fixed using screws. • Aesthetically, the 5711 owes much to posterity. The original stainless-steel Nautilus 3700 certainly lent its essentials to the 5711, but also relevant was the rare Nautilus 3711/1G, a white gold Nautilus with center seconds. Patek’s 5711 included that running seconds hand as well as the 3700s traditional integrated bracelet, rounded-polygon bezel, flanking wings, and striated blue dial. 2006’s principal innovations included a new three-piece case, a caliber 324 automatic movement, and a new gradient blue dial that faded from silver blue at its center to navy blue at its edge. Hands and indices are white gold, and Super LumiNova is used to illuminate the watch in the dark • Mechanically, the latest Patek Nautilus 5711 represents an upgrade over the 2006 model. For 2019, Patek Philippe introduced the new caliber 26-330 SC. This in-house automatic movement adds the stop seconds (hacking) mode long missing when caliber 324 was used in the Nautilus. Other features of caliber 26-330 include a free sprung “Gyromax” balance, six-position adjustment, an antimagnetic silicon “Spiromax” hairspring, and unidirectional winding with ceramic winding rotor bearings. 120-meter water resistance and a screw-down crown • Finish on the Patek movement is high horology, and standout features include mirrored anglage, cotes de Geneve, black polished screws with chamfered slots and circumference, engine-turned base plate and rotor center, and satin-brushed wheels. Since summer 2009, each Nautilus movement has featured the Patek Philippe seal; prior to this change, each 5711 caliber included the Geneva Hallmark or “Poincon de Geneve.” Quality is comparable across both generations of the watch. • Pricing of the Patek Philippe Nautilus has gone crazy, and this has accelerated with Thierry Stern’s announcement that 2021 will be the final year of the Nautilus 5711. Retail pricing for the current 5711/1A-014 is $34,890, but used examples already have sold for $400,000, and the waiting list for the Patek 5711 allegedly stretches years for a watch due to end in months. The previous Patek Nautilus 5711/1A-010 sells for between $110,000 and $130,000 depending on age, warranty, documentation, condition, and accessories. • Due to the scarcity of the Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711, many alternative watches should be considered for purchase. The Vacheron Constantin Overseas collection no longer languishes in dealers or depreciates when used, but availability new and preowned prices remain reasonable. New watches like the Czepek Antarctique and H. Moser Cie Streamliner Centre Seconds offer a comparable experience to the Patek Nautilus for less money. Due to the pricing of Nautilus 5711 variants right now, any watch priced near $100,000 needs to be considered an alternative for watch buyers who have the money but not the inclination to fight for a Patek 5711. • With the end of the Patek 5711, prices may not soften as much as expected when production seemed open-ended and the recent Nautilus market seemed overheated. The Nautilus remains a charming and versatile watch that works equally well as a dress watch and a sports watch; collectors who buy a 5711 will be pleased. But given the outrageous conditions of the current marketplace, watch enthusiasts and watch collectors need to give serious consideration to alternative watches. • • Please subscribe to our channel for the best luxury watch reviews on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/WatchBoxRevie... • 00:00 Intro • 00:35 History • 01:49 The Watch • 04:01 Box Set • 05:18 Is it for You? • 06:08 Alternatives • 07:10 Outro • 07:44 Watch Specs
