The 5711/1A-018 is the reference that turned the Nautilus from a respected sports watch into a global phenomenon, and this replica nautilus 57111A 40mm 018 presents that 40mm stainless steel case with all the design details Gerald Genta established. The octagonal bezel with softened corners frames a dial featuring horizontal embossing that creates visible depth under any lighting condition. Since Patek Philippe ended production of the original 5711/1A, demand has only intensified for this reference across every market segment.

Build Details

• Case diameter: 40mm
• Case material: stainless steel
• Dial: horizontal embossed texture
• Bezel: polished octagonal
• Bracelet: integrated stainless steel with deployant clasp
• Movement: automatic with date
• Crystal: sapphire
• Case thickness: slim profile under 9mm

The slim case profile is a direct result of the thin automatic caliber inside. At under 9mm, the 5711 sits closer to a dress watch in height than to most modern sports watches that push past 12mm.

What Collectors Notice

The 5711/1A earns its status not through complications but through proportion and finishing. Every transition between brushed and polished surfaces follows a deliberate geometry that traces back to Genta’s original drawings. The integrated bracelet flows from the case without visible separation, a design element that competitors have tried to replicate across multiple brands and decades. For context within the range, compare this time-only 5711 against the 5712/1A-001 with moon phases, which adds subdials and a power reserve indicator to the same 40mm platform.

This vs Other Versions

Stripped of complications, the 5711 lets the case design carry the entire visual statement. No subdials compete with the horizontal embossing, and the date aperture at three is the only interruption on the dial face. The result is a watch that communicates restraint and confidence in equal measure. This replica nautilus 57111A 40mm 018 represents the purest form of Gerald Genta’s porthole-inspired sports watch from 1976.
