- Learn all about the discontinued Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711 in our comprehensive collector's guide!
The Patek Philippe Nautilus launched in 1976 as the reference 3700, but the Nautilus 5711 was the model that made Patek Philippe's steel sports watch a superstar. By 2021, runaway prices and social media obsession had raised the 5711's profile to the point that it began to overshadow the entire Patek Philippe watch brand. Patek decided to end the run of its most famous model with a one-year edition, the 5711/1A-014. With its famed Gerald Genta design and a voguish green dial, the final 2021 Patek Philippe Nautilus was discontinued with a final flourish of style, and yes, hype.
Although the Patek 5711 debuted as far back as 2006, it didn't become a hype watch or an object of mainstream consumer fixation until years later. However, by 2017, it became clear to Patek Philippe collectors that the market prices of the Nautilus 5711 had accelerated to an extent that could not be explained by watchmaking improvements to the model or incremental increases in its retail price. Demand from a flood of cryptocurrency millionaires and social media hype meant that the 5711 Nautilus verged on overshadowing the Patek Philippe brand itself. Patek President and owner Thierry Stern realized that a single model couldn't be allowed to shade the company's vast history and collection, so he made an executive decision: the 5711 would be discontinued.
But before the end of this Patek Nautilus generation, there would be a sendoff. The 5711/1A-014 was part of a trio of limited run 5711 models that included the diamond-set 5711/1300A and the Tiffany-signed turquoise dial 5711/1A-018. The -14's vibrant green metallic dial included the traditional Nautilus stripes, but its verdant color was clearly a product of recent watch industry consumer trends. Watch collectors with a sufficient budget, outstanding dealer relationships, and strong connections to the Patek Philippe brand had the opportunity to buy this watch for its $34,893 retail price in 2021.
From a technical standpoint the Nautilus 5711/1A-014 includes a 40mm stainless steel case and an integrated steel bracelet. All external details are beautifully finished by hand in a process that adds hours to the production process and thousands of dollars to the retail price. A screw-down crown and sandwich-style case construction endow this Nautilus with impressive 120-meter water resistance.
While 5711s built through 2018 employed the automatic caliber 324, the 2019-2021 5711 included the more modern caliber 26-330 SC that included a new hacking seconds feature. With 45 hours of power reserve, automatic winding, hacking seconds, quickset date, Gyromax free-sprung balance, Spiromax silicon hairspring, and six-position adjustment, the 26-330 is a sophisticated movement capable of running at least -3/+2 seconds per day when delivered from the factory.
Today, the 2021 Nautilus 5711/1A-014 is a collector's item of the highest order. Preowned prices as high as $300,000 are common when examples come to market, and the very best examples are considered investments on par with real estate and Enzo-era vintage Ferraris. As a fetish object, the green dial Patek Nautilus has few equals. But for the brave watch connoisseurs with the courage to actually use their exalted timepieces, the experience of wearing the discontinued green 5711 entails the grace, durability, evergreen panache, and horological qualities that have defined the Patek Philippe Nautilus since 1976

The market price of this stainless steel watch is disappointing.
It's really wild that for roughly half of what this stainless steel time only watch goes for, you can get the 3970 (perpetual calendar + chrono) in a precious metal.
Don't be disappointed. Your Nautilus will climb back over the $200k threshold again. After all, the 50th aniversity of the Nautilus is coming in 2026 which is drive renewed interest.
$5k watch, $30k name.
300K for this average time date only steel watch is stupid I’m sorry.
Tim providing the definitive 5711 review.
And unto the people Tim delivered the information. And the people were appreciative and glad. The great majority of the people would never be able to afford the watch, but that didn't matter - Tim had a job to do and would not be distracted.
You sold me. I’ll take one.
Excellent and informative review.
Who on earth wants the baggage that goes along with it since pleb influencers and rappers discovered it? It's been totally trashed.
there are so few nautilus watches in the real world that the rapper connection is moot. there are many more royal oaks and daytonas out in public.
Tough choice, between this and or a Datograph perpetual calendar tourbillion. I guess the answer is obvious.
Not gonna lie, I lust after this watch. It seems to strike the most perfect balance between sporty and dressy. Some people diss it because it's a status symbol but I would have loved it just the same if it weren't.
On the wrist, it feels like a kids toy……and very delicate as if it could break. I do like the Nautilus but only in PM.
it does not feel like a toy. you immediately feel the quality when it's on your wrist. only people who don't own a nautilus say that. they also say the bracelet is cheap...no, it's the best bracelet out there. the finishing is unrivaled for an integrated sports watch.
@@johnriesling2207Patek for the older and refined gentleman, AP for the younger, disciplined and talented fellow
When people actually hold and wear the Nautilus, Royal Oak, and Overseas, most will conclude that the Overseas is by far the more attractive and well crafted of the three, followed by the RO, with the Nautilus feeling quite cheap and fragile in comparison.
no. people only buy the OS because they can't afford either of the other two. the OS is clearly a knockoff of the other two. owners of the OS look down at their wrist and dream of owning the Nautilus or Royal Oak one day. i know this because that person was once me.
@@johnriesling2207TRUE
to everyone saying it's overpriced, is it really if it's almost 10x the value once you leave the store with it?
You're not getting one from the boutique unless you're a celebrity or bribing the dealer, though.
I luv its bracelet, and I think watch designs will go asymmetric soon. At least that's cool!
Get a Mido Multifort for a fraction of the price.
Take away the hype, it’s a $35K watch. Forgot that part.
It has all that at the end.
Best,
Tim
@@the1916companywatchreviews Rat doesn't watch your videos. He just opines.
@@davidr2802that scratch-magnet would drive me nuts after the first slight nick.
no. it’s the worst pp watch
great watch, poor value
Tim is the man! My dude finger bangs the crap out of mad 100K+ timepieces on the daily. Legend.
Amazing watch ⌚️ 👌
I would just ask Thierry to send me the birth certificate in PDF format.
It is a very nice classic dress watch design. For the money, I like the Cartier Santos with the bracelet links/strap quick change system; that is, if I had the money. 😂
Overrated time piece, in my humble opinion
Vastly overpriced………
based off what? the free market disagrees with you. take your socialist opinions back to the soviet block.
@@johnriesling2207 oh please. This is an entry level watch for Patek that the market loves to hype. The quality of this watch in no way matches the the insane money being asked for it. Money over substance….
You mean bloc
I wish I have that much money to buy a patek.
“From the bargain bin…” 😅
Tim, what is the weight of 5711 steel?
Best watch imo
❤w❤❤❤❤
So how much do you want sell it!
Tim's reviews are likely the best, and this of the 5711 is no exception.
In 2010 HIP HOP ARTIST like Nicki Minaj and Jay Z started rapping about the brand. It's so wild that this page is the authority of watches but won't give HIP HOP the credit for giving it LIFE. I swear this is why we should develop our own brands.
I hope you do too! I want my Nautilus and Royal Oak to be less stigmatized...And no, hip hop did not give the Nautilus life. What an ignorant and hateful life you must live.
Sam Altman have the blue one❤❤❤
Tim is the 🐐 simple.
Nice video! Royal Oak next??
he did one maybe a year or 18 months back
@@johnriesling2207 Thanks I will look for it.
What gets me is the pristine finishing on a watch crafted in rudimentary stainless steal, not even Rolex quality steel, and massively overpriced. It will get bashed and dinged by some talentless Uber rich influencer long before they suspend their ignorance to appreciate the fine work and craftsmanship that made PPs reputation in the first place 😂
Why is it 'massively overpriced'? Is your assessment based off of economic analysis? I'd say the Nautilus is priced right where it should be seeing how it's at the equilibrium of demand and supply. I'll assume you mean that you think you can get more bang for your buck by buying more complicated watches made in precious metals for a fraction of the price of the Nautilus. In that case your arguement is moot as I can argue that you should buy a $1 quartz plastic watch or just use your phone. After all, mechanical watches are massively overpriced relatively...Art is in the eye of the beholder and the market agrees with the Nautilus.
@@johnriesling2207 The assumption you made is a bit presumptuous and banal. I’m not sure why you brought bling merchant and Quartz into the picture here. All I meant is the PP Nautilus is massively overpriced cf to other historic and excellent Swiss mechanical steel sports watches that have as much character, legacy and provenance. For example, the 1969 Zenith Defy A3642 (the very steel sports watch that influenced the whole integrated steel sports watch genre in the first place), or the IWC Ingenieur SL- designed by Gerald Genta himself in the 1980s, the same guy who designed the PP Nautilus. Even the Chopard St. Moritz, or it’s successor the celebrated Alpine Eagle has a right to rub shoulders with the PP Nautilus in terms of design execution, aesthetics and in-house movement quality. These excellent characterful mechanical watches sell for a fraction of the cost of a Nautilus.
@@johnriesling2207 What you said out the demand/supply makes sense as the ‘small batch’ exclusivity will lead to a hefty premium to control demand for the slow painstaking hand craftsmanship of the watch which naturally limits its supply along the chain. But then you ended up being presumptuous, snobbish and cynical for some reason.
Looks stupid honestly. Will never like this brand. AL&S does everything better
lol. spoken like someone who never owned either. patek is infinitely better. people love to praise ALS, but when it comes time to hand over their credit cards they buy patek.
I don’t think that Patek’s have aged as well as Rolex. A Patek just looks like a watch from the 70’s, if that’s your thing.
the market disagrees with you
Mine gusslThe watch arrived quickly and is in very good condition. I am ecstatic with my purchase and the excellent quality. Very recommended
2:11 how much price
They won't make 20,000 more, but they will make 170 more.
and what an epic 170 it was. patek got the whole watch world talking and hating and secretly coveting for one.
In Toronto canada I buy a super super clone I bring it to a rolex expert he say it was real rolex . Unbelievable. Your super clone look just like mine. You a expert but a regular person like me will never know. Imagine on nkuwan
