This replica nautilus 571113 40mm brings the 5711-1300A-001 reference into diamond territory with yellow stones set across the bezel and dial. The base 5711 platform needs no introduction — it is arguably the most recognizable luxury sport watch reference in production history, designed by Gerald Genta in 1976. This version takes that iconic octagonal case and adds a full yellow diamond treatment that transforms the character from understated steel into something far more visually assertive. The 40mm case maintains the proportions that made the original famous while the diamond work adds layers of light reflection that the standard models cannot match.

The diamond setting follows the contours of the rounded octagonal bezel, with each stone individually secured. The yellow diamond selection adds warmth that pairs naturally with the steel case tones.

What Collectors Notice

Iced-out Nautilus variants occupy a specific segment of the market. Patek Philippe offers factory-set diamond versions in its catalog, but aftermarket customization has pushed the concept further into bold configurations like this yellow diamond layout. The horizontal embossing on the dial — the signature Nautilus texture — remains visible between the stone settings, preserving the identity underneath the diamond work. For comparison, the brown dial iced-out version uses a darker palette that reads more conservative. Both sit within the broader Nautilus collection, which spans from clean time-only references to perpetual calendar complications.

This vs Other Versions

Yellow diamonds push the visual volume higher than white or brown stone configurations on the same platform. The color temperature of yellow stones against polished steel creates a contrast that is immediately noticeable at arm’s length. Where a standard 5711/1A relies on the interplay of brushed and polished steel for its visual identity, this 5711-1300A leans entirely into sparkle and saturation. This replica nautilus 571113 40mm puts that yellow diamond Nautilus configuration on the wrist for those who want maximum presence from the Genta-designed platform.
