Another Gérald Genta design, inspired by a ship’s porthole, the Nautilus launched in 1976. The 5711 became the most sought-after modern steel watch. When Patek discontinued it in 2021, secondary prices spiked to several times retail, then corrected sharply, then settled. That makes it one of the clearest examples of why price history matters before buying.
Who it’s for
Serious collectors. At this level, understanding the market is as important as loving the watch.
Buying tips
- The 2021 olive-green and Tiffany-blue final editions trade far above the blue 5711/1A-010.
- Movement changed from 324 S C to 26-330 S C around 2019. Papers and serial confirm which you have.
- Use only top-tier dealers or authenticated platforms. High-quality fakes target this exact model.
