Patek Philippe Nautilus
The Patek Philippe Nautilus is one of the most coveted watches in the world. Gerald Genta’s 1976 porthole design, with its horizontally-embossed dial and integrated bracelet, spans the discontinued steel 5711, its white-gold successor the 5811 and rare precious-metal editions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the Nautilus 5711 discontinued and so desirable?
Patek retired the steel 5711 at the height of its popularity, cementing its status; demand now far outstrips the authenticated supply.
Is the 5811 a replacement for the 5711?
Effectively yes — the white-gold 5811/1G is the modern time-and-date Nautilus that succeeded the steel 5711.
