What is the difference between 5811 and 5711?
How is the new Nautilus 5811 different from the 5711? The most significant difference is the material. The new Ref. G is crafted from 18k white gold, not stainless steel. Limited production ensures that demand consistently outpaces supply, driving prices far above retail. Collectors also value the Nautilus for its timeless design and mechanical excellence. References like the 5711/1A in stainless steel and the newer 5811/1G in white gold have become benchmarks in the luxury watch world.The best-selling models that tend to increase in value most significantly are the Aquanaut, the Nautilus and the Calatrava. Particularly collectable is the Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5167/1A-001, featuring a self-winding caliber and displaying the date as well as the time.The Aquanaut also tends to be more accessible in terms of price, making it an attractive option for younger collectors or those new to the brand. However, it lacks the historical significance of the Nautilus and may not have the same level of prestige among traditional watch enthusiasts.
