Originally launched in 2006, this Nautilus 5711R-001 is a 40mm strap-clad rose gold Patek Philippe. It is a perfect balance of tones, shapes, textures and finishes. Originally designed for a bracelet, its leather strap gives the wearer versatility and warmth. This timepiece is powered by a 324 S C movement and has a screw down crown and sapphire-crystal case back that allows for a 120m water resistance. The 5711R-001 is all about sophisticated detail that is expected from a Nautilus.
Considered as the leading luxury watch manufacture, Patek Philippe has been a vanguard in high-end watchmaking. Founded in Geneva, Switzerland in 1839, the brand began as a joint venture between Antoni Norbet de Patek, an exiled Polish nobleman and his partner, François Czapek in making high-end pocket watches. Disagreements between them led to Czapek leaving the company in 1845, leading to a new venture between Patek and French watchmaker Adrien Philippe who invented the company’s stem and hand-winding mechanisms. One of Patek Philippe’s most iconic models, the Nautilus, remains to be one of the most sought-after luxury sports watches to this day. As a leading innovator in watchmaking, the brand has produced a number of technically advanced timepieces throughout the centuries, including special pieces like the Henry Graves Supercomplication, one of the world’s most complicated timepiece produced for the American banker Henry Graves, Jr. and is one of the most expensive watches sold for a record US$24 million at a Sotheby’s auction in 2014. Patek Philippe also currently holds the record for the most expensive wristwatch ever sold at auction for the Grandmaster Chime Ref. 6300A-010, which was sold at a Christie’s auction for US$31 million in 2019. The brand remains privately owned by the Stern family since purchasing the brand in 1932.
