The Nautilus is without question one of the great horological icons of the 1970s, and one of the most in-demand timepiece models in today's watch collecting landscape.
Collectors and prospectors alike have been clamoring to get their hands on Genta's second great luxury sports watch, and since the discontinuation of their flagship Reference 5711 in steel, the dramatic rise in popularity shows no signs of slowing down.
This particular Nautilus, a Reference 5711J-001, isn’t made out of steel, but out of 18k yellow gold paired with a silvered white dial - a combination you don’t see pop up often. Featuring the classic Nautilus case construction with a blend of satin and polished finishings, this model comes fitted to a signed brown alligator strap with signed yellow gold, twin-trigger deployant clasp, and as a set of articulating links that impart an enjoyable wearing experience when it’s on the wrist.
With an array of sporty elements including a 120m of water resistance, luminous markers and handset, and Calibre 324 automatic winding movement, this is a highly refined package that perfectly balances sports watch capability and dress watch grace.
We challenge you to find a watch with Patek Philippe's pedigree that can do it better!
