Patek Philippe just released the ref. 5811 successor to the Nautilus, and President Stern is already sure not everyone is going to get one

MATERIAL SUCCESSOR

EVERYONE'S BEEN WONDERING what would replace the 5711, a model from the Nautilus collection that has been a catalyst for the Geneva manufacture's recent release of "explainer videos talking about supply issues ("because it takes time to train humans") and that the brand does not have a "star watch" (discussing the overwhelming popularity of this particular model).

So here it is, suffixed "G" (Patek Philippe's code for white gold), the brand's latest Nautilus reference 5811/1G-001 has a 41 mm white-gold case, 1 mm bigger than the steel ref. 5711. That said, on the surface, the new Nautilus looks a lot like the old Nautilus but the esteemed watchmaker dives deep into the roots of the model, going back to the original 3700 released in 1976.
