PATEK PHILIPPE NAUTILUS Stainless steel bracelet for ref. 5711/1A, 5712/1A, 5980/1A and 5800/1A from 2006-2012.
Historic Background:
PATEK PHILIPPE revamped the Nautilus collection in 2006 as part of the 30th Anniversary celebration. 4 stainless models was introduced 5711/1A, 5712/1A, 5980/1A and 5800/1A. These modern Nautius come a three-part case, notably the case back is now integrated with sapphire crystal to display the movement. The ‘ears’ slightly changed with a subtle curvature for better overall harmonization with the bezel. The screw-down crown was slightly increased in size.
In 2012, Patek Philippe decided to change the Nautilus braclet system and obsolete the screws-type on links. In place is the rather disappointing, the pin-sercured links, which need to be hammered in. The new links type, definately simplier and easier to manufacture. Hence a rather weird decision that Patek Philippe took.
