INCOMING and just in time for Christmas πŸŽ„. This one is for you, Bill πŸ˜‰πŸ˜œ.

Not to pile onto the Nautilus FRENZY we are currently going through at the moment due to the Green and now Tiffany's 5711.


I just want to share this special piece that I received recently from a collector friend of many years who has trusted me with such a beauty. Delving into the vintage space can be tricky at times but when one finds a piece from the original owner in an uber full set with 100% provenance, there is nothing more to do than to just accept the kind gesture and make sure it remains within the collector community πŸ˜πŸ˜‰

Such is the case with this one. It is unmolested (untouched) since it's original purchase. There are minor scratches, etc...but all in all it is in amazing condition so I am so happy to be able to give her the Justin treatment and beat her up a beat LOL πŸ˜‰πŸ˜πŸ˜œ

I have to say, the original 3700 series wears so much better than the 5711 series or even the 3710/1A I have. The solid case base makes it thinner than the sapphire caseback of the 5711. It is most likely even thinner or around the same thinness as a 5712/1A.

The JLC base 920 caliber used in this piece as well as the AP 5402 is just very special. Patek departed from this movement early on but AP continued to use it in their 15202 and Perpetual models even up until this year.

Now for Bill, you know what the choice has to be my friend πŸ˜‰πŸ‘

I know Nico took some nice photos of this during our GTG this weekend so I will wait until he posts them as I am sure they will be better quatily than these quick and dirty ones I took with my phone πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Congrats Justin, glad you couldn't resist to the Nautilus charm -- and this original model, even though extremely sought-after by collectors, is indeed a REAL beauty! ;-)

Your shots are plenty good, but I'm definitely looking forward to Nico's "Naughty" pictures as well! Enjoy your terrific Nautilus fully and thoroughly now! ;-)

Many thanks Fab, much appreciated. Let's hope Nico post some crazy amazing photos as I know he took several with his patented portable photo studio...

At least I know what to get him for his birthday next year if he doesn't already have one by then as his camera was literally on the brink of DEATH 😁🀣🀣

Charmed and tickled!

Looks like you were given no choice but to take it 😜. Where the Jesse or Yokozuna approval? 🀣🀣

Ok, ok... Soon! ;)

I remember the first Nautilus I ever saw was the 3700 white gold brother about 20-25 yrs ago on a wall in a glass case in Beverly Hills. Of course I didn't have a crystal ball at the time, still don't haha.

3711 was the one I saw.

Not at all flash, oozing nostalgia and the spirit of its roots.

It harkens back to a period before the current supply-demand mismatch, and the consequent hyperinflation of secondary market prices.
