Patek PhilippeNautilus

Offered by an established UK dealer, this Patek Philippe is in unworn condition being ‘single sealed’ from new. It comes as a full set with the cork box and all the original documentation including the certificate of origin and the attestation of the watch’s numbered status.

Announced in 2016 to celebrate 40 years of the Nautilus model, Patek Philippe went all-out on this model, casing the watch in platinum and fitting a platinum bracelet. The distinctive ribbed blue dial is fitted with baguette diamond hour markers and “1976-40-2016” embossed on the dial at 6 o’clock. The 40mm case follows the lines of the regular 5711 Nautilus, and through the sapphire case back the owner can view the in-house calibre 324 SC. This self-winding movement incorporates several of Patek Philippe’s innovations. These include the four-spoke Gyromax® balance wheel and the Spiromax® balance-spring in Silinvar®. The immaculately finished movement is topped off with a 21K gold winding rotor.

Since the 5711 Nautilus was discontinued, the prices for the limited production pieces have shot up. This represents a great opportunity for a collector to obtain an unworn example of this historic watch.
