It's the regular, base model Nautilus with a champagne/white dial. Same movement as the Aquanaut (amongst others).

For some reason it's not quite as valuable as the blue dial.

1) 5711/1A-011
2) hypebeasts.

You can get one of these relatively quickly.....and should you later wish to do so, PP will also swap it to a blue dial (and hands to match) and relieve you of several thousand for the privilege.

2. What makes it different and less sought after than a 5711?

As above - hype.

There's no reason why a Sky Dweller or a Nautilus is less valuable with a white dial - but they are. This leads to the supply/demand curves meeting and the price goes up.

Ah, so it is a 5711, just with a white dial.

I misunderstood and thought it was another reference number.

Not sure these are available easily though (though Patek, I mean) - aren't these the watches with the ridiculous waiting list?

Yes, the regular Nautilus.

The waiting list for a Nautilus was closed when it hit 10 years.... so you can buy them pre-owned at £40k for a blue face or maybe £35k for the white. The prices over the past 2 years have gone absolutely mad. If you have some sort of special relationship with an authorised dealer, you might get lucky and find one within 5 years, but it's highly unlikely. For a regular buyer you can't even join a list.
