W&W 2021: Patek Philippe Nautilus Baguette Set Stainless Steel and Olive Green Dial ref. 5711/1300A-001. First Time Patek Pairs Diamonds with Steel.

Following the announcement that 2021 will be the last production year of the stainless steel Patek Philippe Nautilus model Ref. 5711/1A with blue dial, Patek presents a totally new stainless steel reference with olive green sunburst dial. This new dial will also be available in a version featuring a bezel set with baguette diamonds.

With the new reference 5711/1300A-001, Patek Philippe introduces an exceptionally remarkable alliance combining stainless steel with baguette-cut diamonds that are usually only paired with precious metal watches. The characteristic shape of the bezel and case is emphasized with a row of 32 flawless Top Wesselton baguette diamonds —approximately 3.6 carats— set to the highest standards of the master jeweler’s art. A highly refined detail: Each baguette diamond has a special slightly trapezoidal shape instead of the classic rectangle and is cut to perfectly match the octagonal bezel with the rounded corners.

The Ref. 5711/1300A-001 is water resistant to 120 meters and is endowed with the same new self-winding caliber 26-330 S C as the Ref. 5711/1A-014, a mechanical movement that can be admired through the sapphire-crystal case back.

The fire of the diamonds also illuminates the olive green dial that was introduced with reference 5711/1A-014. The inimitable dial features the typical Nautilus horizontally embossed decor as well as the delicate shimmer of the sunburst finish. The hour markers and the slightly rounded baton hands in white gold are coated with a luminous compound and assure excellent legibility at any time of day or night.

The 40 mm stainless steel case and the integrated bracelet hug the wrist for a snug and comfortable fit. As in all other Nautilus models, the subtle alternation of manually polished and satin-finished elements highlights the interplay of the individual contours.
