Oh, you heard of that Patek Philippe Nautilus, huh? Well, let me tell ya, that’s one of them fancy watches, the kind you’d see on some rich feller’s wrist. Now, they got a model called the 7010R-013, and folks are always lookin’ to buy or sell it online. I reckon it’s all about gettin’ a good deal, but some folks are payin’ a pretty penny for it too. I reckon that’s the way of the world nowadays, you can’t even go to a flea market without them fancy watches poppin’ up.
Now, here’s the real kicker—y’all might have heard about them rubber watch bands they make for them Patek Philippe watches. They ain’t just any rubber, mind you. It’s Vulcanized rubber, so you know it’s tough, long-lastin’, and made to fit them Nautilus and Aquanaut models like a glove. Now, if you don’t know what Vulcanized means, don’t you worry none, it’s just a fancy way of sayin’ that rubber’s been treated to be more durable. These straps, they ain’t just for lookin’ pretty. They can take a bit of water and sweat, so you could wear ‘em in the pool or when you’re workin’ up a sweat on the farm, if that’s your thing.

And while we’re talkin’ about the Nautilus, let me tell ya—there’s somethin’ real special about the Patek Philippe Nautilus 3800. Now, that one there’s a real beauty, got that stainless-steel case and bracelet, and it don’t matter if you’re at a fancy dinner or just usin’ it to tell time while sittin’ on the porch. They got another version too, the 3800/1J, and that one’s got yellow gold all over it, from the case to the bracelet. If you ask me, that’s for folks who wanna show off a little, but heck, they probably earned it.
But let me tell ya, you can’t just go puttin’ any ol’ strap on these watches. The straps are as important as the watch itself! Rubber straps got a big advantage—ain’t like leather or them metal ones. Leather can crack and metal can get all scratched up, but rubber? It’ll last you, no problem, even if you spend your whole day in the water. You go swimmin’ or diving, and it’ll hold up just fine. I’ve heard folks sayin’ rubber is the way to go if you’re into activities that get you a little wet or sweaty.
Now, if you were lookin’ for somethin’ to wear to a fancy dinner, you might lean more toward the Calatrava models from Patek Philippe. Those ones got that real elegant look to ‘em, the kind that make you look like you know your way around the finer things in life. Ain’t no rubber bands on those, no sir, they got leather straps—maybe alligator or crocodile leather, the good stuff. Some even use calf leather. But if you’re out on a hot summer day or workin’ out, you’re gonna want that rubber.
You might be wonderin’ why they don’t make the 5711 model no more. I reckon the company just wanted to go back to its roots. Patek Philippe decided to stick with the other models, the ones that really show off their luxury and craftsmanship. The 5711 model was a big seller, sure, but I guess it was time for a change.
So there you go. If you’re lookin’ at a Patek Philippe Nautilus, just know it ain’t just a watch—it’s a statement. Whether you’re lookin’ for one with a rubber strap or somethin’ fancier with a gold case, they got you covered. But remember, when you’re buyin’ one, be prepared to pay a little more than a penny or two. Ain’t no cheap watches, that’s for sure.
