Black marbled carbon look and a turquoise dial make an unlikely pairing in this Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711 DiW style clone, a custom-shop design rather than a catalogue Patek. The 5711/1A is the most recognized reference in the Nautilus family, and this replica Nautilus 5711 DiW-style build presents it in a forged-carbon-look configuration with a turquoise dial that rewrites the visual rules. At 40mm the case dimensions match the classic steel 5711, but the marbled black-grey carbon look eliminates the polished-steel gleam that defines most Nautilus watches. Patek Philippe never made a carbon Nautilus; carbon 5711s come from the independent customiser DiW (Designa Individual), and this version follows that idea with a dark palette from bezel to bracelet and a bright turquoise dial in the middle. The Tiffany-blue hype around the 5711 is told in our guide.

Genuine forged carbon brings two advantages: reduced weight compared to steel and a matte surface finish that resists fingerprints and micro-scratches. We describe the finish rather than the weight here, because the case material of this clone is still being confirmed; ask us before ordering if lightness matters to you.

Turquoise Against Marbled Carbon

The horizontal embossing on the dial is the signature Nautilus texture that Gerald Genta introduced in the original 1976 design. On the light turquoise dial the embossed lines appear as fine shadow lines rather than the reflective grooves visible on metallic dials. This creates a bright, matte impression. The bezel retains the octagonal porthole shape, but in dark material it reads as an outline rather than a polished frame. The integrated bracelet continues the carbon-finished theme link by link. Browse the full Nautilus collection to see how the same 40mm case looks in steel, gold-tone and carbon-look configurations.

Wearing a Dark Nautilus With a Bright Centre

Wearing a carbon-look Nautilus is a different experience from the steel version. The matte finish is the first thing you notice, absorbing light instead of reflecting it, while the turquoise dial does the opposite. For a Nautilus that works in casual and athletic settings without the flash of polished steel, the carbon-look 5711 fills a gap that the standard lineup does not address. Compare this against the white-dial 5711 with emerald-look baguettes for the opposite end of the Nautilus spectrum. This Patek Philippe Nautilus replica takes the most famous Patek sport watch, darkens everything around the dial and leaves a turquoise centre.
