Nautilus Book

Having taken delivery of the 5711/1P and wearing it constantly for the last week I thought I'd better get to know the piece better and the changes over the last 40 years.
Just received this great book, 206 pages and so much detailed info.
Covers all the Nautilus models (most detailed info is on 3700) up to and including the 40th pieces. Some of the copy period advertising of the Nautilus models by PP contained in the book is very interesting. PM me if anyone would like info on how to obtain a copy.

Do they talk about The 5711p, The First not the 40th, in the book?

Don't leave us hanging like that. My guess is around 100.

Before quoting the figure I will double check it again tonight with the book - the figure was smaller than I thought but I'd hate to peddle false figures.
I don't believe the author had any factory input so there might well be a paragraph somewhere in the book that puts a caveat on the published number.

Cool book. Cooler watch

Funny which watches turn out to be sought after and which don't. I remember everyone arguing over whether the 5711P was worth it's asking price when Khalid was offered one. It was a legitimate debate even considering he could easily afford it.

In retrospect, he sure made the right choice

15

I will quote the exact wording as this number seems extraordinarily small even for such a special piece.

"Probably in 2013 Patek Philippe introduced, but never listed in their catalogues, the ref. 5711/1P, the platinum version of the 5711/1A..... Made in a very small number of about 15 and probably for the Patek Philippe salons only"
As a comparison, the book lists that 4 3700's were made in platinum.

The book is packed with info for the Nautilus geek.

Wow, 15 only is amazing. The Tiffany stamped 5711 posted on here could be a unique piece.

Where did you get the book from? Only available if you bought the 5711/1P model?

Looks like a cool book

IIRC an earlier version/edition of the book was available as an electronic download format a few years ago as the author has been active on online watch forums for quite some time. I didn't know it was actually published in hard copy. It looks to be a valuable resource for people interested in reading about the history of the Nautilus

The quantity of 15 seem quite plausible for the first batch of production for the 5711/1P made exclusively for the Salons. This is probably when Khalid was offered his, circa 2013. I know they produced at least a 2nd and possibly a 3rd batch of these watches in early and late 2014. The Salons once again received them in early 2014. However I have talked to at least a couple of non-Salon ADs who received them later in 2014. And we have seen a photo of a Tiffany stamped 5711/1P, so we know they made it to ADs in the USA. I believe they stopped production in 2015 and then later introduced the 40th Anniversary version with the diamond hour markers in 2016.

My estimate is they produced a total ~ 50 pieces for the original 5711/1P, although I have no insider connection to verify this.

Remember a few years ago hearing they were making only 5 a year, no idea if this is true or not, but could be how the author came up with 15 since it was produced 3 years if he counted from 2013 to 2015. Wonder what they will go for at auctions in 20-30 years...

I just checked chrono 24 and there is one for sale, no price indication just that it's reserved, it's in Switzerland. If someone is interested and if the guy it's reserved for doesn't take it, it's K2 Luxury, usually they are very expensive, I guess they must be selling it a fortune...
