Haute News: Patek Philippe Introduces Its New—And Subtly Improved—Nautilus 5811/1G In White Gold

The time has officially come: Patek Philippe has released its highly-anticipated replacement for the 5711. Introducing the new Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 5811/1G-001, which comes in a sleek white gold, ultimately replacing the steel of the 5711 we know and admire.

While the two models are seemingly identical to the naked eye, the new 5811/1G measures one millimeter larger at 41mm and features a new patented fold-over clasp with a bespoke lockable adjustment system. The case construction is also noteworthy as it sports a new pull-out piece lever system on the side that replaces the split stem as a response to the 5711 and a nod to the original Nautilus of 1976 with a two-part case.

Perfectly complementing the new precious metal of the 5811 is the blue sunburst dial designed with a subtle black gradation, horizontally embossed — a signature design element of Patek. Upon the dial are gold-applied hour markers with luminescent coating, pairing back to the sleekness of the white gold case and bracelet while also proving to be functional in legibility.

Behind the sapphire crystal caseback, the self-winding mechanical movement caliber 26-330 S C, the same movement housed in the 5711, and the timepiece is water resistant up to 120m.

It’s undoubtedly an exciting week for Patek Philippe as the 5811 is just one of several new Nautiluses—and timepieces—that have been released.
