RARE Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711/112P-001 Platinum with Ruby Bezel

The Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711/112P-001 is an extraordinarily rare and highly coveted interpretation of Gérald Genta’s iconic Nautilus design, elevated through the use of platinum and factory set gemstones. Produced in extremel   limited numbers, this reference represents the pinnacle of luxury sports watchmaking and is regarded as one of the most exclusive Nautilus variants ever created.

The case is crafted in solid platinum, immediately distinguishable by its weight, refined sheen, and the discreet diamond traditionally set between the lugs at 6 o’clock, Patek Philippe’s signature marker for platinum models. Measuring 40mm in diameter (8.3mm thickness), the case retains the elegant proportions that made the Nautilus 5711 legendary, offering exceptional comfort while maintaining a commanding wrist presence. The signature porthole inspired bezel is factory set with baguette cut rubies, meticulously matched for color and clarity, creating a striking red halo that contrasts beautifully against the cool tone of platinum.

The dial is finished in a horizontally embossed charcoal grey, with ruby-set hour markers that echo the bezel stones and enhance visual cohesion. White gold hands with luminescent coating ensure legibility, while the central seconds hand adds a subtle sporting touch. A date aperture at 3 o’clock maintains the classic Nautilus layout, framed cleanly for balance and functionality.

Powering the watch is the renowned Patek Philippe Caliber 324 S C, an in-house automatic movement celebrated for its reliability, thin profile, and refined finishing. The movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and provides approximately 45 hours of power reserve. Visible through the sapphire caseback, the caliber features Geneva Seal–level finishing, including Côtes de Genève, polished bevels, circular graining, and a solid gold rotor engraved with the Calatrava cross.

The integrated platinum bracelet completes the watch, featuring alternating brushed and polished surfaces that flow seamlessly from the case. It is secured by a concealed folding clasp, ensuring both security and elegance while preserving the uninterrupted Nautilus silhouette.

The Nautilus 5711/112P-001 stands as a modern grail among collectors, combining one of the most iconic watch designs in history with precious materials and factory gem setting. This watch is not only a statement of exclusivity but also a testament to Patek Philippe’s unmatched mastery of both high horology and refined luxury.
