Pre-Loved Patek Philippe Nautilus

Why the Nautilus is iconic

Designed by Gerald Genta and launched in 1976, the Nautilus took its porthole-inspired case with rounded octagonal bezel and horizontally embossed dial from a sketch reportedly made in minutes. Its discontinuation of the steel 5711 in 2021 only intensified its status as a modern grail.

What to pay pre-owned

UK pre-owned prices commonly range from around £45,000 for time-and-date steel models to well over £100,000-£200,000+ for the 5711, complications and precious metals, with a median near £72,746. Reference, dial colour, metal, complication and complete box and papers are the dominant price factors.

Sizes & variants

Buyers seek the 5711 time-and-date, the 5712 and 5990 complications, the 5980 chronograph and the smaller 7118, across steel, rose and white gold and blue, green, white and grey dials.
