Patek Philippe Nautilus 18K White Gold Blue Sunburst (Ref. 5811/1G-001) – Full Set

Up for auction is the ultimate modern successor to a horological legend: The Patek Philippe Nautilus in solid 18K white gold (Reference 5811/1G-001). Introduced to evolve the iconic legacy of the discontinued steel Ref. 5711, this masterpiece elevates the world's premier luxury sports watch into the realm of precious metal. Featuring a stunning sunburst blue dial with a black-gradient rim and a refined two-part case design, this timepiece is one of the most exclusive, heavily demanded, and prestigious watches ever created by Patek Philippe.

Key Features:

• Precious Metal Evolution: Crafted entirely from solid 18K white gold, providing a highly luxurious, substantial weight on the wrist while preserving the flawless mix of satin-brushed and mirror-polished finishes.
• Sunburst Blue Gradient Dial: Features the legendary horizontally embossed Nautilus dial in a rich royal blue that subtly darkens to a black-gradient rim at the edges, accented by applied 18K white gold luminous markers.
• Two-Part Case Construction: A historical nod to Gérald Genta’s original 1976 monobloc design, enhanced by a new patented pull-out piece lever system that allows the winding stem to be removed from the dial side.
• Patented Fold-Over Clasp: The solid white gold integrated bracelet is equipped with Patek Philippe's updated fold-over buckle, featuring a secure lock mechanism and a new micro-adjustment system allowing for 2mm to 4mm of quick extension.
• Ultra-Thin Calibre 26-330 S C: Powered by Patek Philippe’s next-generation in-house automatic movement, visible through the sapphire crystal caseback, featuring a hack-seconds mechanism for precise time setting and a heavy 21K gold central rotor.
• The Perfect Stature: Features a refined and slightly larger 41mm case width with an incredibly slim profile of just 8.2 mm, offering ultimate elegance and comfort under any cuff.
