Alright, so I’ve been eyeing this Patek Philippe Nautilus with the blue dial for a while now, and let me tell you, it’s been quite the journey getting my hands on one. It all started a few months back when I first laid eyes on this beauty.
First Steps
I started by doing some research online, you know, just to get a feel for what I was getting into. I read a bunch of articles and watched some videos about the Nautilus. I learned that this watch is pretty famous and it’s been around since the ’70s. I found out that it’s a sport watch, but it’s also super classy. One thing that really caught my attention was how it looks – that rounded octagon bezel and the embossed dial are just so cool.
Getting Serious
After drooling over pictures and specs, I decided it was time to get serious. I started visiting a few authorized dealers. I wanted to see the watch in person, feel its weight, and see how that blue dial really looks under different lights. Let me tell you, it’s even more stunning in person. The way the light plays off that dial is just mesmerizing.

The Wait
Then came the hard part – the waiting. Apparently, these watches are in pretty high demand. Every dealer I went to had a waiting list. Some even told me it could take years! I put my name down on a few lists, hoping for the best. During this time, I kept thinking about why these watches are so popular. I mean, besides looking awesome, they’re also supposed to be a good investment. I read that they often go up in value because they’re rare and made with a lot of care.
The Call
Finally, after what felt like forever, I got the call. One of the dealers had a 5711/1A available. I couldn’t believe it. I rushed over there as fast as I could. I tried it on, and yep, it was perfect. The stainless steel case and bracelet felt solid and looked really sharp. It was everything I had hoped for.
The Purchase
Making the purchase was a bit nerve-wracking, not going to lie. It’s a lot of money, but I knew this was something I really wanted. I went through with it, and the feeling of finally owning this watch was incredible. I walked out of the store with the Nautilus on my wrist, feeling like a million bucks.
Living with the Nautilus
Since then, I’ve been wearing the Nautilus almost every day. It’s surprisingly versatile. I wear it to work, to casual outings, and even to some fancier events. It just fits every occasion. Plus, I’ve gotten a ton of compliments on it. People who know watches are always impressed, and even those who don’t know much about watches think it looks great.
Final Thoughts
So, that’s my story of getting a Patek Philippe Nautilus with the blue dial. It was a bit of a process, but totally worth it. This watch isn’t just a timepiece; it’s like a piece of art that I get to wear on my wrist. And knowing that it’s something that might even appreciate in value makes it even more special. If you’re thinking about getting one, I say go for it. Just be prepared for a bit of a wait, but trust me, it’s worth it in the end.
