Collection
Mj23 shares the exhilarating experience of acquiring his first Patek Philippe, a Nautilus Ref. 5711, after years of initial skepticism. This post captures the transformative journey of a collector, from dismissing a watch as 'for old people' to succumbing to its undeniable charm and comfort.
The Patek Philippe reference 5711/1A-011, part of the Complications collection, is distinguished by its white dial, offering a different aesthetic compared to other dial variations within the 5711 series. This particular configuration provides a clean and legible presentation, appealing to collectors who prefer a more understated yet refined look. It represents a specific iteration of a well-known Patek Philippe model, recognized for its integrated design.
The watch features a 40mm stainless steel case, housing the self-winding Caliber 26-330 SC movement. This movement provides a power reserve of 45 hours. The case is fitted with a sapphire crystal, contributing to its water resistance of 120 meters. The fixed bezel and integrated bracelet are characteristic elements of its construction.
This reference appeals to collectors interested in the evolution of Patek Philippe's offerings, particularly those seeking specific dial colors within established model lines. Its production run from 2019 to 2021 marks it as a relatively recent, yet now discontinued, variant. The watch's specifications align with Patek Philippe's standards for mechanical timepieces.
Congratulations and wear yours in the best of health.
Hi, me too will to buy this Patek for first PP, with white dial. Enjoy it! Best Regards, EJR.
First, congratulations for your beautiful 5711! It was very iteresting reading how you evolved. I'm sure many here followed the same path and so did I When I started in watches, I heard quite often about this watch and the Nautilus line in general. I didn't like it very much and didn't understand why people liked it that much. However, after 1 or 2 years, I could try one during a Patek presentation (belonging to a French forum friend) and I understood right away what it was all about: elegance,
Hope you will receive your first Patek very soon!!
Glad to know I am not the only one. Thanks for sharing your experiences too. Completely agree it's a completely different experience seeing this watch in the metal. Your summed it up perfectly!
your AD is a First Class place. Four weeks for what takes two years to some PuristS, worth Noting. Big congratulations and hope to see more PP in your collection. Cheers Edward
