Patek Philippe Nautilus

With the Nautilus, the reference matters as much as the metal. The examples here span the 5711 in several dial and bezel configurations, the 5980 chronograph and the 5990 Travel Time chronograph, in steel, rose gold and white gold. Where a price is shown you can buy directly; otherwise ask and we will confirm availability.

The Nautilus was introduced in 1976 and designed by Gérald Genta, with a case shape inspired by a ship's porthole and an integrated bracelet. Each reference differs by size, metal, dial and complication, so buyers compare them reference by reference.

The Private Collection is an independent brokerage and is not an authorised dealer of, affiliated with, or endorsed by Patek Philippe. All watches are pre-owned.

What to consider

Read the reference

5711, 5980 and 5990 are different watches with different functions. Each piece states its reference so a comparison is made on the same terms.

Dial and bezel

Dial colour and bezel treatment separate otherwise identical references. Both are described as they appear on the record.

Gem setting provenance

Several Nautilus examples here are gem-set. Ask us to confirm factory versus aftermarket setting and the supporting provenance before agreeing terms.

Papers and discretion

Ask us to confirm papers and condition on private enquiry. Nothing is publicly listed with a price, and no piece is exposed to auction.
