The Patek Philippe 5711/1A has shown up on the wrists of a notably diverse group of public figures tracked in our database. Footballers Marcus Rashford and Hakim Ziyech have both been spotted wearing the reference, as has singer Justin Bieber and rapper Rich The Kid. The fact that the 5711/1A crosses so cleanly between elite sport and the music world says a lot about where the watch sits culturally — it is not the preserve of one scene or demographic, but rather a shared reference point for high earners who follow the watch market closely. Rashford in particular has been seen wearing a diamond-set version of the 5711/1A, which pushes an already expensive watch into genuinely extraordinary price territory.

Part of what drives this level of celebrity attention is the chronic gap between supply and demand. Patek Philippe discontinued the 5711/1A in 2021, which immediately hardened its status on the secondary market. Even before discontinuation, the watch carried multi-year authorised dealer waitlists, and retail price sat around $34,000 USD. Post-discontinuation, grey market prices climbed well above $100,000, at points reaching multiples of the original retail figure. For buyers in the spotlight — athletes, musicians, entertainers — that scarcity and resale strength only adds to the appeal. Owning one signals not just wealth but access and patience, or the willingness to pay a serious premium.

The 5711/1A is a 40 mm stainless steel sports watch with an integrated bracelet, powered by Patek's calibre 324 S C movement. Its profile was shaped significantly by the late designer Gerald Genta, and sustained celebrity visibility over the years has kept it at the top of most serious collectors' wish lists.
