The Patek Philippe Nautilus reference 5711/113P-001 is an ultra-exclusive haute joaillerie interpretation of the iconic sports watch, characterized by its construction in 950 platinum. This 40mm timepiece features the collection’s signature rounded octagonal bezel, which is meticulously set with 32 baguette-cut emeralds. A discreet brilliant-cut diamond is set into the side of the case at the 6 o’clock position, a hallmark of Patek Philippe‘s platinum models. The sunburst black or charcoal gray dial maintains the classic horizontal embossing and is further elevated by 12 baguette-cut emerald hour markers set in white gold. The watch is paired with an integrated platinum bracelet featuring polished and satin-brushed finishes and a fold-over clasp.
Technically, the 5711/113P-001 is a time-and-date model powered by the self-winding Caliber 26-330 S C, which succeeded the Caliber 324 S C. This movement includes a sweep seconds hand, a date aperture at the 3 o’clock position, and a stop-seconds hacking function for precise time setting. It operates at a frequency of 28,800 semi-oscillations per hour and offers a power reserve ranging between 35 and 45 hours. While the standard steel Nautilus is known for 120 meters of water resistance, this specialized platinum version is generally rated to 30 meters, emphasizing its status as a high-jewelry dress watch rather than a dedicated diver.
General reviews of the 5711/113P-001 highlight it as a pinnacle of “off-catalog” collecting, as it was produced in very limited quantities for top-tier VIP clients. Critics and enthusiasts often describe it as a “grail” watch that successfully balances the sporty, industrial heritage of Gérald Genta‘s original design with extreme opulence. While some purists may find gem-setting on a tool-watch silhouette to be polarizing, the use of emeralds against the cool tone of platinum is widely praised for its striking and harmonious aesthetic. Its rarity and the prestigious Patek Philippe Seal ensure it remains one of the most coveted and high-valued iterations of the Nautilus on the secondary market.
