The Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711 is the steel sports watch that became the most sought-after modern Patek. Introduced in 2006 and discontinued in 2021, it descends from the 1976 Nautilus designed by Gérald Genta. In April 2026, market tracker Loupe valued the blue-dial 5711/1A-010 at about $134,000, about 32% below its 2022 peak of over $200,000. A 5711 is also exceptional collateral: Borro lends up to 65% of a watch’s value, with funding in as little as one business day.

Who Designed the Patek Philippe Nautilus?
Gérald Genta, the designer behind the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, created the Nautilus in 1976. Inspired by a ship’s porthole, its rounded octagonal bezel and integrated bracelet made it one of the first luxury steel sports watches. The original ref. 3700 was nicknamed “Jumbo” for its then-large size.
Why Was the Patek 5711 Discontinued?
Patek Philippe announced the end of the steel 5711 in early 2021, saying it wanted to give other models a chance. It closed production with a limited olive-green 5711/1A-014 and a special Tiffany-blue 5711/1A-018 made with Tiffany & Co. One of those Tiffany pieces sold for about $6.5 million at Phillips in December 2021.

A Nautilus Never Needs Announcing
You do not announce a Nautilus. You simply lift your wrist to check the hour, and the conversation rearranges itself. The porthole case catches the light, the horizontal lines of the dial settle into something calm and architectural, and someone at the far end of the table asks, quietly, whether that is what they think it is.
It is a strangely perfect object. Steel, but somehow warm. Sporting, but plainly meant for evening. The bracelet slips across the wrist with a weight that feels deliberate, the kind of heft that tells you, without any fuss, that a great deal of patience went into it. Wear it to dinner and it behaves. Wear it to lunch with old friends and it earns a story.
The market has had its seasons, as the article above explains, but the feeling of owning one has never really moved. The quiet clasp, the little theater of checking the time without ever looking like you are checking. That is what people are truly buying, and it is why holding tends to beat scrambling.
If a moment ever calls for capital, you do not have to part with the piece. Borro lends against fine watches, holding yours in fully insured, secure safekeeping while you remain its owner. When you repay, the Nautilus comes home to your wrist.
