Introduction to Alberto Franceschi
Alberto Franceschi is the entrepreneur and founder behind HideAndJack, a Milan-based sneaker brand that has carved out a distinct position at the crossroads of luxury fashion and street culture. Operating out of one of Europe's most design-conscious cities, Franceschi has built HideAndJack into a label recognized for its considered approach to materials, craft, and cultural relevance. His work places him firmly within a network of designers, collectors, and tastemakers for whom the details — on a shoe, a garment, or a watch — carry real weight.
The Alberto Franceschi watch collection, as captured in our sightings database, currently centers on one of the most sought-after references in modern horology: the Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711/1A-010. Franceschi was spotted wearing the steel 40 mm Nautilus, the final production variant of Gérald Genta's 1976 design before Patek Philippe retired the reference in 2021. The 5711/1A-010 features the characteristic porthole-style bezel, horizontally embossed dial, and integrated bracelet that have made the Nautilus a benchmark in sports-luxury watchmaking. In steel, and especially in this closing reference, it remains one of the hardest watches to acquire through any conventional channel.
The choice is a coherent one for a founder who operates where luxury and street culture intersect. The Nautilus 5711 occupies precisely that territory — a watch with serious horological credentials that has simultaneously become a cultural object far beyond traditional watch circles. For Franceschi, reaching for it is less a flex than a natural extension of the aesthetic logic that runs through HideAndJack itself: high craft, recognizable design, and a refusal to separate elevated taste from contemporary culture.

Inserted 27/04/2023
The Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711/1A-010 was discontinued in January 2021 — Patek's own announcement sent grey-market prices into the stratosphere overnight, cementing its status as the most coveted steel sports watch of the modern era. The 40 mm case, designed by Gérald Genta in 1976, houses the ultra-thin Caliber 26-330 S C automatic movement and presents its signature blue horizontal-embossed dial. Alberto Franceschi, founder of Italian sneaker label HideAndJack, wears the reference with the ease of someone who understands precisely what is on his wrist.
