Case diameter

Reference 5711/1A-001 40mm
Reference 5811/1G-001 41mm

In recent years, we have seen a trend of increasing case sizes, not just for Patek Philippe, and the new Nautilus has also seen its case diameter increase from 40mm to 41mm.

structure

Reference 5711/1A-001 3-piece construction
Reference 5811/1G-001 Two-piece construction

Up until the two-generation previous "Ref.5800/1A," the case back and the case body were integrated into a "two-piece structure." The previous generation "Ref.5711/1A-001" had a "three-piece structure" (with a wider range of movements) in which the case back and the case were separate, but the new model "Ref.5811/1G-001" has now returned to the origin of a "two-piece structure." This means that the movement can be removed from the dial side.

Case Thickness

Reference 5711/1A-001 8.3mm
Reference 5811/1G-001 8.2mm

As mentioned above, the watch has returned to a two-piece structure, and the case thickness has been reduced by 0.1 mm.

Movement

Reference 5711/1A-001 Cal.315SC or 324SC or 26-330SC
Reference 5811/1G-001 Cal.26-330SC

The "Ref. 5711/1A-001" models released after around 2019 were equipped with the "Cal. 26-330SC," an improved version of the "Cal. 324SC" with a hacking function, and the new "Ref. 5811/1G-001" is also equipped with a similar movement.
* Hack function: A function that stops the second hand, allowing you to set the time to the second.

❸【Bracelet】

The buckle part of the bracelet has been changed so that the length can be easily adjusted in increments of 2mm or 4mm.
