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 ππ
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 πππ
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 ππ
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 π€·ββοΈ
