Patek Philippe has begun its first-ever Watches & Wonders salon by presenting four new Nautilus references, including the 5711/1A-014, featuring a sunburst dial in olive green, which will replace the blue-dialed 5711/1A-010 during the 5711’s final year of production.
The 5711/1A-014 with Sunburst Olive-Green Dial
At the beginning of 2021, Patek Philippe president Thierry Stern announced that this would be the final production year of the much sought-after Nautilus 5711, with the classic blue-dialed 5711/1A-010 set to be discontinued.
To replace this coveted reference, Patek Philippe has unveiled the 5711/1A-014, still in stainless steel but now with an olive-green sunburst dial. It is the first time the Nautilus collection has included this verdant dial tone.
Price: CHF 29,500
The 5711/1300A-001 with Diamond-Set Bezel
As a complement to the new 5711/1A-014, Patek Philippe has also brought out a diamond-set version, the 5711/1300A-001.
Its bezel is set with a row of 32 flawless Top Wesselton baguette diamonds, totaling approximately 3.6 carats. Rather than being rectangular, each baguette diamond bears a trapezoidal shape and is cut to match the octagonal bezel.
Price: CHF 80,000
The 5990/1R-001 in Rose Gold with Blue Sunburst Dial
The Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph has also been given a refreshed look.
The new 5990/1R-001 features the usual complications – a flyback chronograph, dual time-zone travel time function, and analog date synchronized with local time. But these functions are now displayed on a blue sunburst dial nobly framed by a rose gold case and bezel.
Price: CHF 90,000
The Snow-Set 7118/1450R-001
Completing the set of Nautilus updates is a sparkling, new Haute Joaillerie piece, the 7118/1450R-001. Its gold dial and rose gold case, bezel, and bracelet are randomly snow-set with 2,553 flawless Top Wesselton brilliant-cut diamonds of varying sizes, totaling approximately 12.69 carats.
Price: CHF 310,000
Three New Additions to the Twenty~4 Collection
While the Nautilus novelties will grab the headlines, Patek Philippe has also unveiled three new additions to its Twenty~4 collection of ladies’ watches.
Two of the new releases are round-cased automatics. The 7300/1200A-011 is in stainless steel and features an olive-green sunburst dial (CHF 23,500), while the 7300/1200R-01 is in rose gold, its dial gilded with a rose-gold sunburst (CHF 41,000).
The bezels of both references are embellished with two staggered rows of 160 Top Wesselton Pure diamonds, totaling approximately 0.77 carats, which are hand-set using the “dentelle” gem-setting technique.
And finally, the Twenty~4 cuff-style models with a quartz movement now feature a rose gold version, the 4910/1201R-001, with a chocolate-brown sunburst dial and rectangular case accentuated by two rows of diamonds, each comprising 17 stones, totaling approximately 0.57 carats. The price is CHF 38,000.
