Watch Collecting sets new platform record with a Patek Philippe

Watch Collecting – a Free-to-List online auction platform – demonstrated its global reach and trusted status by brokering a platform record-breaking sale of a Patek Philippe 5711/1300A Green Dial Diamond Bezel for $725,000. As part of Patek Philippe’s celebration of the 5711 Nautilus and its final year of production, a new colour seen previously only on the Aquanaut – olive green – was introduced to the dial. This new colour, and the imminent discontinuation of the model, created one of the most sought-after watches of 2021. Patek Philippe produced this rarer option with a stunning baguette diamond-set bezel holding 32 specially cut, internally flawless diamonds with a total weight of 3.6cts. The retail price for this watch is currently £72,860 in the UK, with the rarity and demand driving secondary market values.
