Yasuharu Abe's Patek Philippe Theory - No. 49 - New Arrivals: "Nautilus"

hello everyone.

Today we have an emergency shipment of the stainless steel model of the Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 5711 series, which is almost certain to be discontinued, so we would like to introduce it to you. We would also like to introduce the stainless steel model of the Patek Philippe Nautilus Petite Complication Ref. 5712/1A-001, which was sold immediately after it arrived and was listed.

Regarding the new Nautilus model, I heard that they will no longer make the SS (stainless steel) model, the case diameter will be 41mm, and the material will be titanium and PT (platinum). I have also heard rumors that the dial of the titanium case will be blue, and the dial of the PT (platinum) case will be black (lol).
Of course, this is not an official announcement from Patek Philippe , so please take it as just a rumor.

"Ref.5712/1A-001" "Nautilus" Petite Complication SS

The long-selling model "Ref.5712/1A-001" was released in 2006 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Nautilus, as a successor to the "Ref.3712/1A-001" which was equipped with a small complication on the "Nautilus".

The caliber used is the "Cal.240 PS IRM C LU", a derivative of the ultra-thin automatic movement "Cal.240" that uses a micro-rotor, which is representative of Patek Philippe.

Even though it is equipped with a petite complication mechanism, the case thickness is only 0.22mm different from the three-hand model "Ref. 5711/1A-010", which is a testament to Patek Philippe . The watch sold this time is a relatively early production model, so the movement is engraved with the Geneva Seal.

The bracelet links are screw-type rather than the current pin type.

Although there were some scratches and scuffs from use, all accessories were included and the price was also good, so it was a recommended item. It's easy to see why it was sold so quickly.

Since the news of its discontinuation broke, the three-hand SS (stainless steel) model of the Nautilus, Ref. 5711/1A, has been priced at what could be considered an abnormal amount in the market, but to be honest, it is impossible to predict how the selling price will trend in the future.

Now that it is still possible to purchase it at a relatively affordable price, purchasing the Nautilus petite complication model "Ref. 5712/1A" may lead to some interesting results in the near future.

"Ref.5711/1A-010" "Nautilus" SS

It is no exaggeration to say that the Nautilus three-hand stainless steel model "Ref. 5711/1A" is the hottest model right now.

I don't think I need to explain the model at this point, but I'll keep it brief.

The "5711/1A-001" was released in 2006 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Nautilus, with a blue-black dial. At the time, the bracelet links were screw-type and the movement was engraved with the Geneva Seal. Later, the bracelet specifications changed from screw-type to pin-type, and the reference branch number became 010. The movement was changed from the Geneva Seal to the Patek Seal, and the logo specifications on the dial were changed, and the latest model is equipped with a new caliber, "Cal.26-330 SC" (with hacking function). There are few units of the latest model on the market, and it seems that the selling price on the market is set high.

From here, we will introduce the watches that have arrived this time.

Compared to the early dials, the stripes are thinner and shinier. Personally, I think it's very pretty and atmospheric.

The date on the warranty shows that it was sold by the prestigious Swiss jewelry store Gübelin in September 2012. The movement has been changed from the Geneva Seal to the Patek Seal.

The bracelet links are still screw-type rather than pin-type.

There are some minor scratches and scuffs, but the watch was overhauled by the manufacturer in 2019 and is still under warranty.
It comes with all the accessories, so it's a product we would recommend to anyone considering purchasing it for the future.

The selling price is 9,270,000 yen (excluding tax) .

It seems like the price has gone up quite a bit, but looking at the current market price, I think a price of around 10 million yen is an attractive price.

summary

As for the Nautilus stainless steel three-hand model "Ref. 5711/1A," since talk of its discontinuation came out, the models that had been on sale up until then have disappeared from the market, and I believe they are now being sold at prices that were previously unthinkable.

At Commit Ginza, we monitor domestic and international market prices, set what we believe to be fair selling prices, and do our best to procure goods so that you can purchase them as reasonably as possible.

There is a mixture of excitement and anxiety about how prices will trend from here, but there are still many positive aspects to consider when it comes to Patek Philippe , which has an extremely small number of units.

We will continue to work hard to provide you with information as quickly and accurately as possible.

see you!
