Patek Philippe Nautilus in October 2026: The Steel References We Price
The olive 5711/1A is worth $253,000, the blue $168,000 and the white $132,000. The 5726/1A, 5990/1A, 5980/1A and the 35 mm 7118/1A priced dial by dial.
Five years after Patek Philippe ended the steel 5711/1A, the Nautilus is still the reference point of the whole secondary market. Here are the steel references we price most often, dial by dial, as of tonight.
The 5711/1A
| Criterion | Full set | Watch only |
|---|---|---|
| Olive green (5711/1A-014) | $253,000 | $126,000 |
| Blue (5711/1A-010) | $168,000 | $119,000 |
| White (5711/1A-011) | $132,000 | No recent market |
The olive green dial was the last regular production 5711/1A, and it trades at a 50% premium over the blue. Note the watch-only column: without the card, the olive dial gives up half its value, on limited data. On a watch this collected, the provenance is the price.
The complications
| Criterion | Blue | Grey | White | Black |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5726/1A, annual calendar | $149,000 | $120,000 | $141,000 | $126,000 |
| 5980/1A, chronograph | $112,000 | $118,000 | $126,000 | $117,000 |
| 5990/1A, Travel Time chronograph | $182,000 | No recent market | No recent market | No recent market |
| 5712/1A, power reserve and moon | $146,000 | No recent market | No recent market | No recent market |
The 5726/1A lists at $62,766 in the US and trades at 2.4 times that in blue. The 5990/1A lists at $76,895 and also trades at 2.4 times.
The 35 mm Nautilus
| Criterion | Full set | US list | Against list |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7118/1A, grey | $88,500 | $35,884 | 2.5x |
| 7118/1A, white | $87,000 | $35,884 | 2.4x |
| 7118/1A, blue | $77,000 | $35,884 | 2.1x |
The 7118/1A is the Nautilus most buyers overlook, and it trades at 2.1 to 2.5 times its list price. On the 7118/1A the blue is the cheapest dial; on the 5711/1A it is the dearest after the olive.
Our view
The 5711/1A is a collector's watch now, not a buyer's: at $168,000 for the blue, you are paying for its history. If you want to wear a steel Nautilus in 2026, the 5726/1A and the 5980/1A give you more watch for less, and the 7118/1A is the best-kept secret in the line at 35 mm. Whatever you choose, buy the full set.
