Catalogue Essay

First introduced in 1976, the Nautilus is one of Patek Philippe’s most iconic watch references. Inspired by the design of maritime portholes, the reference 3700 seamlessly merged Patek Philippe’s signature elegance with durability, crafting the ultimate luxury sports watch capable of enduring the elements. Over time, this model has transcended to become a revered collector's timepiece, reshaping our perception of sports watches.

The reference 5712, succeeding the reference 3712, marked the evolution of complicated Nautilus models. Introduced in 2006 to commemorate the Nautilus's 30th anniversary, the 5712 enjoyed substantial commercial success. Its timeless aesthetic and commanding presence have elevated it to one of the most coveted modern sports watches on the market. Acquiring one from a Patek Philippe retailer was an arduous task, often entailing years of waiting for an allocation.

This particular Patek Philippe Nautilus ref. 5712/1A-001, remains in “like-new” condition. Collectors now have the opportunity to obtain a specimen of this recently discontinued reference.

Patek Philippe

Swiss | 1839

Since its founding in 1839, this famous Geneva-based firm has been surprising its clientele with superbly crafted timepieces fitted with watchmaking's most prestigious complications. Traditional and conservative designs are found across Patek Philippe's watches made throughout their history — the utmost in understated elegance.

Well-known for the Graves Supercomplication — a highly complicated pocket watch that was the world’s most complicated watch for 50 years — this family-owned brand has earned a reputation of excellence around the world. Patek's complicated vintage watches hold the highest number of world records for results achieved at auction compared with any other brand. For collectors, key models include the reference 1518, the world's first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph, and its successor, the reference 2499. Other famous models include perpetual calendars such as the ref. 1526, ref. 3448 and 3450, chronographs such as the reference 130, 530 and 1463, as well as reference 1436 and 1563 split seconds chronographs. Patek is also well-known for their classically styled, time-only "Calatrava" dress watches, and the "Nautilus," an iconic luxury sports watch first introduced in 1976 as the reference 3700 that is still in production today.
