The 5711/1A-010 is the model which made “Nautilus” a well-known name even among those who don’t keep a close eye on watches, and it’s clear why after you notice the blue horizontal embossed dial set against the steel case. It was the very model that attracted waitlists lasting for years and caused grey market prices to rise well above retail. This super clone version now makes the iconic combination of blue dial and steel case accessible, replicating the features that originally made this model so desirable.
The watch features the right 40mm stainless steel case, together with a rounded octagonal bezel and the visible screws positioned precisely in relation to the case band and lugs. The brushed and polished areas flow smoothly from the bezel and sides, thus preventing the poorly finished effect which is a telltale sign of cheaper replicas. Because it is difficult to get the case to flow seamlessly into the integrated bracelet without creating a noticeable seam, this imitation manages the transition very well.
It is the blue dial that has caused people to fall in love with this model, thanks to its horizontal embossed grid pattern which changes in tone according to the light that hits it. The replica does a good job of reproducing this gradient effect, ranging from a lighter blue close to the centre to a darker shade towards the edges instead of having a single flat colour. The hour markers and hands, in the applied white gold style, offer a strong contrast against the dial, and the date window is in the correct position at 3 o’clock.
The steel bracelet has a proper taper and ends in a folding clasp which closes with a firm and secure click, giving the same sensation as the authentic item rather than one that is loose or rattles. Because of its solid link design, the weight is distributed properly and it doesn’t have the hollow or light feeling that cheaper imitations generally have. The case thickness and the curve of the lugs ensure that it sits flat and comfortably on the wrist, just as the real 5711 does.
If you’ve been looking in vain for the blue dial steel Nautilus at an authorised dealer, then this Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711/1A-010 super clone replica is one of the most convincing methods of achieving that appearance. The gradient of the dial, the proportions of the case, and the way the bracelet feels all combine to produce the very aesthetic which made this model so legendary.
