Why was 5711 discontinued?
Another likely reason for discontinuing this watch at the height of its fame is that its popularity wasn’t rubbing off well on the patek philippe brand. While the price was good and demand was great, the nautilus 5711 was a relatively old watch. It was a basic steel watch with just a time and date functionality. The nautilus 5711 was the “it” model in patek philippe’s catalogue from its debut in 2006 until 2021 when it was discontinued and replaced by the 5811. The tiffany blue edition is undoubtedly the most desirable model, boasting the jeweller’s signature blue shade on the dial, as well as its name at 6 o’clock.
