Catalogue Essay
Patek Philippe introduced reference 3712/1A in 2005, and it remained in production for approximately one year. Its successor, reference 5712, was launched in October of 2006 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the brand’s celebrated Nautilus model.
Originally designed by world renowned Gerald Genta, the first of the Nautilus family was presented in 1976. Reference 3712/1A is a more complicated version of the 3700, which only features the date. The present example features a power reserve, moon phases, and a subsidiary dial for constant seconds. The recognizable nautilus bracelet gives this watch a sporty, yet classic look, making it versatile and wearable for multiple occasions.
Being that this model was only made for one year, it is estimated that 1,500 were manufactured, with only 40 known to have appeared at auction. Kept in pristine condition, this watch is sure to please the savvy Patek Philippe collector.
