On what kind of Patek Philippe can you bid?
Well, it is a regular but irregular Nautilus, with a stainless steel case, bezel, bracelet, and case back that are hand-engraved with a “Māori-inspired” motif. The engraving style distinctly references the Māori people of New Zealand. The first ever engraved sport watch by the brand, and the first ever engraved stainless steel model.
This Nautilus Ref. 5711/1500A has a sort of sunburst slate grey dial. Maybe with a hint of brown or a bit of charcoal grey with a sunburst effect. Of course, It has the renewed horizontal Nautilus embossing or grooved pattern, adding more depth and contrast.
The power reserve of this Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 5711/1500A is about 35 to 45 hours
