First launched in 1976, the Nautilus is one of Patek Philippe’s most iconic watch references ever produced. Inspired by the proportions of maritime portholes, the original reference 3700 merged Patek Philippe’s elegant design philosophy with durability to create the ultimate luxury sports watch to withstand the elements. Today, the model has become a true collector's timepiece and ultimately changed the way we perceive sports watches. Displaying the date, power reserve, and moon phase complications, the reference 5712 was the successor of reference 3712, which was the first complicated Nautilus model. The new version featured a larger case at 42.5mm in diameter, and the dial had narrower grooves. Made to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Nautilus in 2006, the reference 5712 was a commercial success. Its classic appeal, combined with a hefty presence makes it one of the most desirable modern sports watches available on the market today. In fact, it is incredibly difficult to obtain one at a Patek Philippe retailer and requires years of waiting to be allocated one. Offered in overall appealing condition and complete with its accessories, the present 5712 exudes classic elegance and is a must have for the collector of rare modern timepieces.
