Patek Philippe Nautilus

The Patek Philippe Nautilus is the most coveted modern wristwatch in the world. Designed by Gérald Genta in 1976, the Nautilus broke the rule that fine watchmaking required precious metal — and fifty years on, the 5711/1A and 5980/1R remain the references that define luxury sport. Bizak & Co. sources the discontinued steel 5711 series and the current Travel Time, Annual Calendar, and Perpetual references.

FAQs

Are the steel 5711s actually discontinued?

Yes. Patek discontinued the 5711/1A in 2021 after a four-year-long farewell. The Tiffany Blue 5711/1A-018 was the final variant. The steel moon-phase 5712/1A followed in 2025; the 5726/1A annual calendar is the last steel Nautilus in production.
