Replica Watches UK Patek Philippe Nautilus 2022, the complete review

In the week in which replica watches uk and Wonders’ digital broadcast dominated, photographing the new Nautilus 2022s, including the 5711, is a privilege. The release from the catalog of the Patek Philippe 5711 is archival news (similar fate will befall Audemars Piguet’s 15202ST from 2023), it was less predictable that Patek would close this cycle with the references presented on 7 April. In the meantime, the collectors’ rally has begun to grab the last Nautilus of the current generation. From an editorial point of view, it is a unique opportunity to add the latest edition of the series to our reviews of Patek Philippe Nautilus 5726 / 1A – 014, Patek Philippe Nautilus 5712 / 1A – 001 and Patek Philippe Nautilus Perpetual Calendar 5740–1G. Only the fourth model is missing from this review, the Nautilus Haute Joaillerie Ref. 7118 / 1450R – 001, because it is not available.

Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref.5711 / 1A-014

We are talking about the luxury sports car in steel par excellence, a cult object that has opened the rich segment in which everyone is now diving; it is the quintessence of the luxury, wearable sports watch that you feel yours as soon as you close the bracelet. There will be a reason then if it is waterproof up to 120 meters from the first day; don’t you think, dear competitors?

A Nautilus 5711 could be the only watch to keep in the collection, yet those who have one have gradually extended the collection to other Nautilus. The shape of the case is unique, the thickness of 8.3mm makes it slip under the shirt; it may not be the thinnest in the world, but it has a wearability that is a benchmark for the competition. Finally, the alternation between brushed and shiny surfaces ennobles the steel like no other brand has yet managed to do.

The Nautilus was not immediately successful at launch in 1976, as it does when it is at the forefront, but the rapid transformation of society and the market has proved how visionary Gérald Genta was and how courageous Patek Philippe was in investing in that idea. . By putting it out of catalog, the brand thus brings back attention to what has historically made it a leading manufacturer in the world: the exceptional mechanical complications. The list price, assuming you manage to enter a waiting list, is equal to 30860 Euros.

Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref.5711 / 1300A-001

Patek has added a second, unusual, reference to the 5711 family. The 5711 / 1300A-001 therefore has a 40 mm case (measured in a neutral field, therefore from ten to four o’clock) and the 26-330SC caliber is fitted with a Giromax® balance wheel. and Spiromax® spiral, two patents of the maison, but adds an unexpected and pleasant bezel, embellished with 32 baguette-cut Top Wesselton diamonds whose geometry is slightly trapezoidal.

They reinforce the Nautilus’ seventies pedigree and make it incredibly elegant, although understandably it’s not to everyone’s taste. I would have found it more appropriate to associate this scheme with a white gold case, if I have to say mine, also because steel does not help to contain the list price which reaches 83680 euros.

Patek Philippe Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph Ref. 5990 / 1R-001

Finally, with the reference 5990 we enter the most contemporary chapter of the Nautilus, which explores the savoir faire of complications. The Replica Watches UK Patek Philippe Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph Ref. 5990 / 1R – 001 has a dual time zone, a hand date indication (at twelve o’clock) and a Flyback chronograph with a 60-minute counter; a rather unusual sum of complications but ultimately extremely useful for a First Class frequent traveler.

The small windows on the dial indicate the time of day and night, relative to home time and local time, while the chrono buttons allow you to start and stop the chronograph (button at two o’clock) or reset it and activate the Fllyback function (button at 2 o’clock). four o’clock).

On the side opposite to that of the crown,

the protective shoulders are transformed into buttons to operate the local time hand independently and in increments of +/- 1 hour. The Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph Ref. 5990 / 1R – 001 is valuable in a combination of rose gold and blue, and is very attractive technically; the level of execution is very high.

It is less attractive in terms of weight and size; the weight is considerable and it is understandable given the gold construction,

but the thickness tends to distort the “raison d’être” of a Nautilus; I therefore see the reduction in size,

despite the success of the model, as a goal to be set in conceiving the complicated Nautilus of the future. Its price is equal to 92600 Euros, therefore in the area of ​​a 5711 / 1300A-001.

Final remarks

For the “swan song” of 5711, Replica Watches UK Patek Philippe has chosen a color in vogue and inflated,

but has managed to give it a singular interpretation. It is green but it is not green, just as the standard reference has never been uniquely blue. For this reason too, time alone is, and always will remain, one of the most desired sports watches. We will see if, after a period of forced absence, the Nautilus will return with a new reference and updated design; are you sure that Patek will so easily give free rein to the competition? I do not believe. I would also gladly wear the reference 5711 / 1300A – 001; the watch theme with precious stones was interpreted with great class. The Travel Time Chronograph Ref. 5990 / 1R – 001 does not warm my heart, although it is ultimately the most technically interesting Nautilus,

but I struggle to find the same alchemy that makes a Nautilus only time the perfect chemical formula.
