DRAFT · PENDING REVIEW
Patek Philippe · Family: Nautilus
The Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711/1A is the 40mm stainless-steel Nautilus that Patek Philippe discontinued in 2021, closing off retail access to the steel sports Nautilus. Cazador has no verified market observations as of July 2026; we do not publish resale premiums without our own PricePoints. Its differential: it is the most-discussed reference in the luxury watch market, with no direct steel successor — only the 5811/1G, in white gold, remains.
Insufficient data
3 of 5 price observations needed to show a reliable range
Insufficient data: 3 verified PricePoint observations recorded by Cazador as of today (July 2026). The secondary market consistently reports significant premiums over historic retail since the 2021 discontinuation, but we do not publish a specific figure without our own verified PricePoints — this block activates once at least 5 observations exist.
The Nautilus was born in 1976 as a Gérald Genta design, with the original reference 3700/1 in steel — one of the first integrated luxury sports watches on the market, an origin widely documented across watch-industry historiography. The 5711/1A represents the modern evolution of that architecture within Patek Philippe's catalog, in a 40mm case also executed in stainless steel, added to the catalog in 2006 [UNVERIFIED: exact date within that year not confirmed in the catalog sources consulted].
Inside the case sits the Calibre 26-330 S C, an automatic movement built entirely in-house by Patek Philippe, delivering approximately 45 hours of power reserve. Water resistance is rated to 120 meters, higher than other, more dress-oriented Nautilus references. The integrated bracelet, in steel, follows the case's overall lines, and the crystal is sapphire.
The blue dial with the family's characteristic horizontal embossed pattern is the variant most associated with this reference in its later production years; Patek Philippe's historical catalog also included a black dial under the same refCode in earlier years [UNVERIFIED: the exact year of each dial change is not part of the catalog specs consulted].
In 2021, Patek Philippe announced the withdrawal of the 5711/1A from active catalog production, with no direct steel successor [UNVERIFIED: the specific reasons stated by the brand for the discontinuation are not part of the sources used for this fiche]. That decision took the steel sports Nautilus out of reach at retail price entirely, turning the 5711/1A into arguably the most-discussed and speculated-about reference in the current luxury watch market: with no official waitlist through which to buy one new, all demand shifts to the secondary market.
The only official continuity within the similarly sized sports Nautilus family is the 5811/1G, also launched in 2021 but executed in 18kt white gold — a different material, and presumably a different price position, than the steel 5711/1A. That partial replacement, which does not restore the steel option, is the structural reason the 5711/1A continues to generate so much conversation years after its withdrawal.
No. Patek Philippe withdrew it from active catalog production in 2021, and it is not available at retail price through official boutiques; it only circulates on the secondary market.
We cannot confirm the exact reasons Patek Philippe stated. What is documented is that the brand withdrew this reference from active production in 2021, with no direct steel successor.
Cazador has no verified price observations, so we do not publish a figure. The secondary market consistently reports significant premiums over historic retail, but we won't state one without our own data.
The closest current-catalog reference is the 5811/1G, executed in 18kt white gold. It does not restore the steel option the 5711/1A offered.
It runs the Calibre 26-330 S C, an automatic movement built entirely in-house by Patek Philippe, with approximately 45 hours of power reserve.
It measures 40mm in stainless steel, with a 120m water resistance rating — higher than other, more dress-oriented Nautilus references.
Gérald Genta designed the Nautilus in 1976, with the original reference 3700/1 in steel. The 5711/1A is the modern evolution of that same architecture.
Yes. The same refCode carried a black dial and, in later years, a blue dial with the horizontal embossed pattern. We do not confirm the exact date of each change.
